What Are Dental Veneers, and What Do They Do?
Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of your smile by changing the color, shape, and length of your teeth. Veneers are also more durable than other cosmetic dental treatments and can resist staining and chipping. Although they are not suitable for everyone, dental veneers can give you a beautiful, long-lasting smile. If you are considering this treatment, consult with Dr. Justin Moseley to see if you are a good candidate.
What is the Dental Veneers Procedure?
Our experienced cosmetic dentist Dr. Justin Moseley and the Preston Commons Dental Care team perform the procedure. First, we will take impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental laboratory. Then, we will create veneers that perfectly match your natural teeth. Once the veneers are ready, Dr. Moseley will bond them to the front surface of your teeth.
The Cost of Dental Veneers
For many people, a beautiful smile is worth its weight in gold. But for those who are self-conscious about their teeth, the costs of cosmetic dentistry can be prohibitive. Dental veneers are one of the most popular ways to achieve a Hollywood smile.
Their cost will vary depending on the number of veneers you need and your treatment specifics. We will provide a cost estimate during your consultation so that you can have all the information before making your decision.
Regardless of the cost, dental veneers often last for many years with proper care, and they can help to beautify your smile and improve your confidence. For some people, the investment is well worth it. Others may prefer to explore less expensive options like teeth whitening or bonding. Ultimately, the decision comes down to personal preference and budget.
How to Take Care of Your Dental Veneers
Veneers are durable and long-lasting but require special care to keep them looking their best. Here are a few tips for taking care of your veneers:
- Brush and floss regularly. Like natural teeth, veneers can develop plaque and tartar if they aren’t brushed and flossed regularly. Be sure to brush at least twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, and don’t forget to floss!
- Avoid chewing on hard objects. Veneers are strong, but they aren’t indestructible. Chewing hard things like ice or fingernails can crack or chip your veneers. Use your back teeth if you need to bite down on something hard.
- Wear a mouthguard when playing sports. A direct impact can damage veneers, so wearing a mouthguard when participating in contact sports is essential.
- See your dentist regularly. In addition to regular brushing and flossing, you should also see your dentist every six months for a professional cleaning and examination. The cleaning and exam will help ensure that your veneers stay healthy and look their best.
Following these simple tips can keep your veneers looking great for many years!
