Though you can't choose the teeth you're born with, you can choose the path you take to a better, brighter smile! There are a variety of options when it comes to smile enhancement. Orthodontics, implants, and tooth whitening can all improve the appearance of your teeth. However, if you're looking for a quicker option that will remain bright and white throughout time, veneers may be the right choice for you. Veneers provide a beautiful upgrade for your smile and are a relatively fast way to improve the appearance of your teeth. Using a combination of specially designed dental materials and bonding agents, Skyview Dentistry, your cosmetic dentist in Charlotte can utilize veneers to help transform your smile into something you can’t wait to show off!
What are Veneers and what are they made of?
Veneers are like tough shells made for the front surfaces of your teeth. Constructed of high-quality porcelain, they are placed over the surface of your teeth to give you a healthier-looking smile. Each one is shaped to fit the contours of your mouth and is designed to give you the tooth shape, size, and placement that will help you create your perfect look. Veneers are a faster smile restoration option than braces and can solve a variety of cosmetic dental issues.
What can Veneers be used to correct?
Some of the cosmetic problems that veneers can resolve are:
- Permanently stained or discolored teeth
- Space or gaps between teeth
- Too small or too large teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Misshaped teeth
By creating a new front surface for your teeth, veneers can cosmetically correct the issues above and provide a more balanced and healthy-looking smile.
How are Veneers attached?
Porcelain veneers are attached to the surface of your natural teeth using a few different application techniques. After creating a rough surface on your teeth for the veneers to adhere to, your dentist will apply a specially formulated dental adhesive or cement to which they will attach the veneers. After the veneers are in place, this adhesive will be cured or bonded to the tooth using an ultraviolet light which sets the dental cement quickly. This method will generally keep the veneers in place permanently.
What are the benefits of getting Veneers?
This type of cosmetic dentistry can boost your self-confidence, improve your self-esteem, and give you a smile you feel comfortable showing. Since veneers can transform your smile quicker than some other dental and orthodontic methods, you can see results within a matter of weeks rather than months or years. Veneers also retain their bright white quality and resist staining, meaning your smile will remain stunning for years to come.
How much do Veneers cost?
The final cost of your veneers will depend on a few different factors, including treating any underlying dental issues, the number of appointments that will be required, and the shape you choose for your veneers. Your dentist at Skyview Dentistry will work with you to find a plan that is affordable.
