Our teeth are important to all of us and most of us work hard to take care of them. However for some people, years of poor diets, poor hygiene, and poor dental care have damaged their teeth. Poor dental care results in stained, rotten and damaged teeth. Some people suffer from broken or chipped teeth. Unfortunately when our teeth suffer from these unpleasant things, it can be very embarrassing and unattractive.
If you are concerned about how your teeth look, Veneers may be just what the dentist ordered. The dental treatment called veneering is a procedure performed by dentists that treats unattractive teeth and makes them attractive.
Veneering is a procedure performed by dentists to help your teeth look more presentable and healthy. Veneers are thin shells that fit over your teeth in order to cover up stained, cracked and chipped teeth. It’s not a difficult procedure. It’s a procedure that allows you to smile again and show off your teeth. It makes your teeth look and feel more attractive. This procedure is very popular among people who want to have attractive teeth, but may not have been successful with other types of treatments.
Veneers are, for the most part, a temporary fix. Over a period of time the thin layered shell can itself become damaged, chipped, and stained. So once you start wearing veneers, you have to wear them all the time. When the dentist applies the veneer, he or she removes the thin layer of your tooth’s enamel in order to permanently attach the veneer to the teeth by using cement. Because they are attached by cement, the only way the veneer can be removed is by a dentist.
If you want the veneers removed, more than likely you will have to get crowns placed on your teeth since the enamel of your teeth have been removed. If the veneer breaks or chips, you will need to contact your dentist immediately to prevent any damage to your teeth.
Most people who have veneers don’t experience a lot of problems and continue receiving the treatment with very few problems. Before you decide to go with veneers, be sure to talk to your dentist to discuss all of your options.
