Veneers are like little custom-made shells that fit over the front of your teeth. They're made from materials that look just like natural teeth, such as porcelain or composite resin.
Dentists use veneers to fix all sorts of cosmetic issues, like discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening, chips or cracks in teeth, small gaps between teeth, or teeth that are slightly misaligned or shaped irregularly.
The process of getting veneers involves a few steps. First, you’ll have a consultation with your dentist to discuss what you want to achieve. Then, they’ll prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneers. After that, they’ll take impressions of your teeth to create custom veneers that fit perfectly. Once the veneers are ready, your dentist will bond them to your teeth, and voila! You’ll have a brand new smile.
With proper care and maintenance, veneers can last for many years, giving you a beautiful and confident smile. Just make sure to visit your dentist regularly and keep up with good oral hygiene habits to keep your veneers looking their best.
