Designer Teeth With Veneers

How to Know You Might Need Veneers

Veneers are a thin porcelain shell that a dentist adheres to your natural teeth to offer them a new, revitalised look. There are several reasons why someone may choose to get veneers or why they are a better option than other dental cosmetic procedures. If you are seriously considering them as an option, then keep reading to find out how they might be able to help.

Your Teeth are Chipped or Cracked

Dentists advise that after taking a hit to the tooth, you can also take a blow to the confidence. There can be very few things as shattering to your self-esteem as having a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth that everyone can see. Depending on how serious it is, your dentist may recommend dental veneers. They can match them to your other teeth, and you can say goodbye to those chips and cracks for good.

You Have Stained Teeth

In-chair cosmetic teeth whitening and even some over-the-counter teeth whitening products are marvellous inventions. However, they are not suitable for all stains. If you have tried almost everything to get your set of pearly whites back from days gone by, then veneers can be another option to consider.

Your Teeth Are Gappy

In the case of your teeth having gaps in between them, either veneers or bonding can work quite well. Having teeth you are not proud of can severely impact your self-esteem, so don’t be afraid to ask your dentist about veneers the next time you see them. 

Your Teeth Are Worn

If you clench your teeth a lot or grind them, then it’s not uncommon for the top section of your teeth or tooth to wear down and become flat. If you don’t act quickly, you can suffer from dental problems further down the line. A way in which to solve the cosmetic side of the issue is with veneers. However, ask your dentist if they have any ideas for how to stop or reduce teeth grinding (bruxism) from becoming a problem.

You Have Uneven Teeth

Everyone has something they don’t like about themselves. It might be that you don’t love your toes, or that you have a strange birthmark, or you might even have a strangely-shaped tooth that’s bothered you for a long time. While a dentist can’t help with your toes, they can help with your teeth by using veneers.

For slight irregularities such as sizing, shaping, and colouring, a veneer might be your dentist’s cosmetic procedure of choice. However, for more severe misalignment, orthodontic care might be necessary.

Dental veneers are something that can help in a range of circumstances. If you have stains, gaps, funny shapes or worn teeth, then make an appointment with your dentist and find out what options they would recommend for you.
