Porcelain veneers are a very versatile and popular method of covering up flaws in your smile. Consisting of thin discs made out of durable, translucent, tooth-like porcelain, veneers used to be a temporary fix to change the look of film actors on screen. Materials, methods and adhesion have come a long way so that Dr. Brent Engelberg can now bond dental veneers directly and securely to the teeth of any patient. Porcelain veneers might be considered a conservative procedure, as little preparation is needed to complete a successful application and provide you with a flawless, long-lasting smile. There are many reasons to opt for veneers. Here are three.
#1: Natural
Once your porcelain veneers are attached to your teeth with a dental grade adhesive, they will function just like your natural teeth both physically and cosmetically. The incredible thinness and translucence mean veneers will look and feel just like the natural teeth they are perfecting.
#2: Smile Confidence
When you flash your grin at an attractive stranger, pass an esteemed co-worker in the hallway, or walk into any new situation, you should smile broadly to give off the right impression. Having confidence in your smile is an essential part of a high quality of life. Imagine if you were so ashamed with the way your teeth looked that you avoided grinning even in your most joyous moments. In doing this, you may also inadvertently give the wrong impression to others that you’re unhappy, or not happy to see them. Porcelain veneers will make you confident in your smile once again.
#3 Easy Care
While you may need to make a few adjustments to your at-home oral self-care regimen, in general, you can continue to brush twice daily with ADA-approved, minimally abrasive toothpaste. Many toothpastes do contain more harsh abrasives with the goal of removing stubborn plaque and tartar buildup, so follow Dr. Engelberg’s advice for the best brands to care for your veneers. Other than that, you can floss your teeth just as always.
