Veneers

What You Need To Know About Veneers

Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment that can transform your smile. They are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. Here's everything you need to know about veneers:

Process

First, your dentist will conduct a consultation to evaluate your teeth and determine whether veneers are the best option for you. If so, they will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneers. Then, they will take an impression of your teeth, which will be used to create custom-made veneers that are tailored to your unique smile. Once the veneers are ready, your dentist will bond them to your teeth using a special adhesive.

Benefits

Veneers can improve the appearance of your teeth in a number of ways. They can cover up stains, chips, cracks, and other imperfections, and they can even make your teeth look straighter and more even. Veneers are also durable and long-lasting, with proper care they can last for 10-15 years.
