Dental veneers are primarily used to treat minor dental cosmetic issues like discoloured teeth, chipped or broken teeth etc. Depending on the condition they are treating, people might get anywhere between one to eight veneers to fix their dental issues. For example, if you have a chipped tooth, your dentist might suggest you get one veneer. However, if you are fixing your discoloured teeth or creating a symmetrical smile with your asymmetrical teeth, you might require anywhere between six to eight veneers. Veneers can also be used to fix any gaps you might have between two teeth and make your smile look better.
Ways to improve your smile with veneers
Close gaps
If you have a gap between two teeth, you might feel self-conscious. Veneers can fill in gaps and improve your smile, making you feel confident by hiding imperfections. The thin dental veneer shells are tailored-designed to fit your teeth’s size, meet your specific cosmetic needs, and match the colour of your teeth.
Teeth alignment
Dental veneers can make it look signed if you have slightly misaligned teeth that do not need braces. Using dental veneers can reshape your teeth and brighten up your smile.
Whiten your teeth
Teeth whitening is done mainly by whitening agents, but not everyone responds to these whitening agents well. In such cases, veneers can be your saving grace. Since veneers are also resistant to staining, they can protect your teeth’s enamel in the long run.
Cover cracks and chips
If you have a cracked tooth or chipped tooth, dental veneers can cover them effectively, making you feel confident in your smile. Dental veneers also provide extra protection to your chipped tooth, preventing further damage.
Gummy smile
If you have a gummy smile where your gum takes over your smile, you might consider getting dental veneers tailor-made to meet your requirements. The custom-made veneers will fit your mouth’s size, providing more balance to your smile.
