While it’s tempting to think of veneers solely as a cosmetic dental treatment, dental veneers can also target a wide variety of common dental issues.
A dental veneer is a thin, custom-made shell of material, mostly porcelain, which covers the front surface of the teeth. Composite resin material can also be used to make veneers.
In this article, we’ll talk about the most common issues dental veneers can fix and where you can get customized dental veneers for yourself.
Misaligned, Irregularly Shaped, Uneven Teeth
It is not uncommon to have misaligned and irregularly shaped teeth. If you have misaligned and uneven teeth and did not have braces in your younger years to correct these issues, you can use dental veneers for these problems as an adult.
With dental veneers, your teeth can look good. Veneers correct the appearance of irregularity in the shape or size of your teeth, making your teeth appear aligned and your smile more beautiful than ever.
Gaps in Teeth
If you have gaps between your teeth, this is not only a cosmetic problem, but can also lead to chewing and digestive issues as well as pain and bleeding in gums. The good news is that veneers can fix the issue, helping to prevent these additional complications.
Discolored Teeth
Stained teeth are one of the most common dental problems.
There are a variety of teeth-whitening techniques your dentist can use to address teeth discoloration. However, some discoloration runs deeper and doesn’t respond to whitening treatments. In these cases, porcelain veneers are the perfect answer to your problem.
Veneers cover the front surface of your teeth and therefore leave you with a bright and beautiful smile – with not a stain to be seen! Your dentist can also personalize the shade of white you desire.
Worn Teeth
Your teeth can be worn down due to a variety of factors, including your lifestyle, an uneven jawline, how you chew food,as well as the type of food you eat. Abrasion from toothpaste and toothbrushes can also lead to wear and tear on your teeth. Worn-down teeth not only affect your appearance but can also make your teeth susceptible to further damage.
Dental veneers can successfully conceal uneven, worn-down edges of your teeth – while protecting them from further damage.
Chipped or Broken Teeth
Your teeth can chip or crack due to accidents, teeth grinding, cavities, and poor oral hygiene. A crack in your teeth may expose the nerve, increase tooth sensitivity, and if left untreated, may lead to more pain and discomfort. In such a situation, you may require root canal treatment.
Dental veneers could be the solution to your cracked or broken teeth. Veneers not only provide protection but can also hide dental imperfections.
