Dental veneers are thin tooth-colored shells that cover the front of teeth, usually visible when smiling. They can consist of porcelain or composite resin material. Porcelain veneers require a lot of the enamel to be shaven to make room for the veneers, and they tend to be more expensive. However, they are more durable and longer lasting (10-20 years). Composite resin veneers are also tooth-colored and do not require the removal of natural enamel. However, they are not as durable and do not last nearly as long (five to eight years). A cosmetic dentist can help patients decide which style suits them best.
The key benefit of dental veneers is the stunning results they produce. They are known for producing a "movie star" smile, with teeth even in size, shape, and color. With just one procedure, a cosmetic dentist can craft a smile that looks bright and even. In addition, veneers cover any cracks, chips, stains, or other imperfections. An additional advantage of porcelain veneers is that they are more resistant to staining.
Almost anyone looking to improve the overall appearance of their smile is a good candidate for dental veneers. However, there are a few things to consider:
We recommend finding a cosmetic dentist with significant experience improving smiles with dental veneers. Any dentist can call themselves a cosmetic dentist because cosmetic dentistry is not a dental specialty, and there are no specific requirements. Therefore, we recommend finding a dentist who has invested in additional training, education, and certifications in cosmetic dental services.
An effective way to find cosmetic dental services is to do an internet search for cosmetic dentists in the patient's area. This internet search will likely produce a list of local dentists' websites with information regarding their services and qualifications. Review sites such as Google My Business, Yelp, and Healthgrades can also be good resources.
