If your smile is less-than-perfect, then you might want a dramatic transformation to make it aesthetic. There are several treatments you can consider, but veneers can fix a wide range of flaws at once. That said, this cosmetic work is permanent, so you should make sure you know the ins and outs before committing. Here are four facts to keep in mind about this service.

Fix Several Flaws with One Treatment

As was mentioned above, veneers are a great choice because they can correct multiple imperfections at once. They are shells that bond to the front of your teeth, meaning stubborn stains, chips, and minor gaps will be hidden beneath them. That way, when you show off your grin, all you see is how attractive it is without needing multiple treatments.

Your Results Are Made from High-Quality Materials

Veneers are irreversible because a small amount of enamel will be removed. To ensure your smile stays perfectly healthy afterward, they should be made from high-quality materials that’ll last. Thankfully, they are!

Porcelain is typically used as it’s a sturdy ceramic that can stay strong for up to 15 years or longer with proper care. It can also reflect light similarly to the top layer of your teeth, so your results blend in more seamlessly and look natural. Better yet, it’s also more stain-resistant as well. You don’t have to worry as much about discoloration, but it’s still possible over time.

Your Final Look Is Customized to You

Many people are often worried that their veneers will be obvious, but they are sculpted with each patient’s goals in mind. The shape, color, and size will all be accounted for; that way, there aren’t any surprises. If you are worried about them being obvious, consider toning them down a couple of shades from what you initially are looking at to help them appear more natural.

It Takes About Two Weeks to Get Your Final Look

You might imagine your customized results from this treatment will take a long time to get, but it simply takes two appointments that are about two weeks apart. This small wait allows a dental lab to sculpt your veneers and make sure that each one is perfect for you. Once they are ready, they will get bonded on, and you’ll be well on your way to showing off your final look.
