A smile can be a valuable tool. However, if your teeth are a source of embarrassment instead of pride, you are not likely to make use of it. Thankfully, your Milford cosmetic dentist, Dr. Mitchell I. Quintner, offers dental veneers so that you can attain your ideal smile very quickly. Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are designed to look like natural teeth. They are bonded to teeth to hide cosmetic blights behind a brand new smile, hence the term veneer. One thing that sets veneers apart from other cosmetic treatments is their versatility. Veneers can hide gaps, stains, damage, pitting, and even misalignment behind a lovely smile that looks very natural.
Benefits of Veneers
- They mimic the reflective quality of natural teeth. Our living teeth are partially translucent. They also have a kind of sheen in their appearance. Veneers are able to mimic these qualities in teeth to produce levels of realism that are astounding. The resulting smiles look very natural.
- They are durable. In addition to their lifelike appearance, veneers are very durable, resisting damage and even stains. The resulting transformations can, therefore, last for many years to come. The durability of veneers make them a popular choice over dental bonding when it comes to teeth stains and pitting as bonding is less durable.
- They offer fast smile transformations. Typically, dental veneers can be applied in 2-3 dental visits. During the first visits, patients will discuss their smile goals to ensure that the veneers are fabricated to achieve the desired results. Following the consultation, all that remains is for the veneers to be fabricated an applied. In order to bond dental veneers in place, the teeth must be prepared to receive the veneers. Tooth preparation involves removing small amounts of enamel and generally does not cause patients discomfort.
