One of the many dental treatments offered at Sedki Dentistry, Commerce, Mi are dental veneers. Veneers are an incredibly effective way to restore a smile and here’s why:
Veneers are a thin piece of porcelain that is adhered to the enamel of natural teeth and are designed to replicate natural teeth for cosmetic purposes (covering flaws and creating a lovely smile). It’s important to note that veneers can be made of other materials, but porcelain is currently considered the best option by the American Dental Association.
Porcelain veneers are custom made to fit over your natural teeth and are a great restorative option.
What Flaws Are Veneers Used To Cover?
-permanently stained teeth
-chips and fractures
-slightly misaligned teeth
-small gaps
-an uneven bite
Pros of Veneers
-when designed correctly, porcelain veneers can be as strong and resilient as natural enamel
-veneers are custom-created, contoured and bonded to your teeth
-applying veneers is typically considered a minimally invasive procedure, especially when compared to crowns or braces
-veneers provide a strong, beautiful smile
-although veneers can stain, with twice daily brushing, they’re relatively resistant to coffee, tea, soda pop, even cigarette stains.
How long do they last?
Veneers are considered permanent (meaning they are meant for long-term use), however, they won’t last forever. With proper care, dental veneers last ten to fifteen years, some can last up to twenty.
While veneers are relatively resistant, they can still be damaged. Just as you must care for your natural teeth, you’ll need to care for your veneers.
