Minor imperfections in your teeth can affect the way you feel about your smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that fit over the front of teeth to improve the overall appearance.
At Dental Matters, veneers are used to create a natural, even look while preserving as much of your tooth as possible.
When may veneers be right for you?
Veneers may be an option if you have any of the following:
- Teeth that are chipped or worn down
- Stains that do not respond to whitening
- Uneven or slightly misaligned teeth
- Gaps between teeth that affect appearance
- Teeth that are irregular in shape
They offer a straightforward way to make visible, lasting changes.
What is the process for veneers?
Veneer treatment is usually completed over two or more visits. The process includes the following:
- Consultation: Discussing your goals and assessing your teeth
- Preparation: Removing a very thin layer of enamel to make space for the veneers
- Impressions or scans: Used to design custom veneers
- Fitting: Bonding the veneers securely to the teeth and making final adjustments
Once placed, veneers are strong and blend naturally with your other teeth.
How do you look after veneers?
Caring for veneers is similar to caring for natural teeth. With good oral hygiene and regular visits to Dental Matters, they can last for many years. Daily care includes the following:
- Brushing twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste
- Flossing carefully to clean between teeth
- Avoiding habits like biting on pens or opening packets with your teeth
- Scheduling routine check-ups and cleanings
What makes veneers a popular choice?
Veneers provide a way to improve the appearance of teeth without extensive procedures. They are often chosen because they:
- Create a natural look that matches the surrounding teeth
- Can correct multiple cosmetic issues at once
- Are individually designed for each tooth
If chips, stains, or uneven teeth are affecting how you feel about your smile, veneers could be the solution. Book an appointment at Dental Matters to find out if this treatment is proper for you.
