3 Benefits of Getting Veneers

Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment used to cover imperfections, address abnormalities, and repair teeth that are unhealthy. They have become a desirable procedure because they look natural, which makes them hard to detect to the average eye. Additionally, the placement of veneers has an array of benefits that other cosmetic dentistry procedures do not. When considering different cosmetic dentistry procedures, it may be worth reviewing the following benefits!

How veneers can benefit you

Outlined below are three benefits of getting dental veneers. Patients may have specific benefits that the dentist can identify during the consultation process. However, the following ones generally apply to most patients. Keep reading to learn more.

Whiten teeth

Most people visit the dentist for veneers to address cosmetic imperfections with the teeth. These imperfections may include chips, cracks, or misshapenness. Veneers work great to cover these imperfections, thus eliminating the problem altogether. However, what many do not realize is that there is an added benefit of whitening the problem tooth too. 

Since dental veneers cover teeth completely, the cosmetic dentist can whiten the natural teeth beforehand. Then, the veneer can be color-matched, thus making for an evenly matched smile.

Are Long-lasting

Another benefit of dental veneers is that they last a long time. Unlike other cosmetic dentistry procedures, like teeth whitening or bonding, veneer placement can last up to 15 years with proper care. In some scenarios, they may even last longer, though the average lifespan is 10-15 years. 

Additionally, because veneers are used for the front teeth, they are more likely to last. The front teeth do not partake in the grinding and chewing of food nearly as much as the molars, which makes them less vulnerable to decay. 

Restore oral health

Aside from the cosmetic benefits of dental veneers, there are also a few restorative benefits. Often, cosmetic imperfections also indicate oral health problems, which can lead to decay or even loss. But once placed, dental veneers also restore the health of the tooth. Any signs of health abnormalities are automatically taken care of at the same time. Patients can restore their oral health while also ensuring that their teeth look natural and appealing when smiling. 

Other things to know

Dental veneers are a beneficial cosmetic dentistry treatment option. However, they do require the natural tooth to be shaved down, which makes it necessary to have them for life. Understanding this beforehand allows for an accurate consideration process. 

Getting started with veneers

When considering dental veneers, it is best to undergo a consultation with a cosmetic dentist. An evaluation can be done in order to identify the most appropriate course of action. Additionally, the patient can ask questions and go over any concerns, which can be helpful when considering different treatments.
