If you’re tired of hiding your teeth when smiling or taking pictures, your cosmetic dentist can create the smile of your dreams without veneers. They aren’t just for movie stars and celebrities. People from all walks of life are investing in the benefits of porcelain veneers. Although there are a variety of elective procedures available, here are 6 reasons veneers continue to rank among the most sought cosmetic treatments year after year.
1. Fix Several Issues Simultaneously
A veneer can be applied to a single tooth, but when bonded to the teeth most visible when smiling, they cover several imperfections at once. There isn’t any need for multiple procedures when addressing common aesthetic concerns, like stains, chips, or gaps. You’ll save time and money without a long recovery.
2. Minimally Invasive Procedure
Veneers are made of porcelain, which allows them to be thinner than ever. Less enamel is removed during the application process to preserve more of your natural tooth structure. As a result, the procedure is less invasive, so you don’t have to worry about a long or painful day in the dental chair.
3. Looks and Feels Natural
Porcelain closely mimics enamel, so your new smile will look natural. Only a trained dental professional will be able to tell they aren’t part of your real teeth. Each veneer is carefully crafted to fit your teeth like a glove. After a few days, you may even forget they are there.
4. Long-Lasting Results
Veneers might be thin, but they are designed to last. The average life expectancy is about 10 years, but it’s not uncommon for them to thrive for decades with the proper care. You can get the most out of your investment by brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly. It’s best to break any bad oral habits that can damage your veneers, like using your teeth to open packaging or chewing on your fingernails.
5. Boost Your Confidence
The appearance of your teeth can affect your self-esteem. If you’re embarrassed by imperfections, you may avoid social situations. Veneers will create an attractive, youthful smile you will be proud to show off. You’ll instantly boost your confidence to look and feel your best.
6. Better Career Prospects
Research has shown an unattractive smile can limit your career growth. Veneers ensure your teeth are giving the right impression in the professional world. A beautiful smile is associated with youth, intelligence, confidence, and success, which can open new doors to take your career to the next level.
