subject: How To Achieve Your Picture Perfect Smile With Veneers [print this page] It's hard to imagine a picture perfect smile if your teeth are stained, chipped, gapped or misaligned. But what if you could correct all of your dental flaws to attain an improved, beautiful smile with just one treatment?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are designed to solve an array of cosmetic dental issues. These durable shells of tooth-colored materials are bonded to the front of teeth and are designed to perfectly match your existing teeth while diminishing stains and improving appearance. So whether you're looking to conceal discolored fillings, repair minor cracks or lengthen and reshape your teeth, veneers may be the perfect solution for you.
Choose Veneers: Here's Why
Veneers can truly offer the complete smile makeover, transforming patients' teeth into the flawless, natural smile they desire. Most cosmetic dental blemishes can be corrected with veneers, including discoloration, wear and tear, chips, gaps and uneven teeth. Other advantages of veneers include:
*Durable and long-lasting
With proper care, your veneers can last for several years. No only do they improve your smile aesthetics, they can also serve a functional purpose by providing a protective cover for damaged teeth.
*All-in-one solution
*Veneers can correct multiple dental imperfections in one treatment, including stains, chips, gaps, misalignment and overcrowding.
*Highly stain resistant
The porcelain material used in veneers is highly resistant to staining so you can maintain your bright, white for years and years.
The Lumineers Difference: "No- Prep" Veneers
Your dentist may also recommend a special type of veneer called a Lumineer or a "no-prep" veneer. The main difference between Lumineers and traditional porcelain veneers is the material that is used to fabricate them. Lumineers are made from patented Cerinate-special porcelain that is much thinner than the standard porcelain used in traditional veneers. The highly durable shells used in Lumineers are as thin as a contact lens; therefore they require minimal-if any-reduction of the natural teeth. The procedure is less invasive, and therefore it is often reversible.
Your Smile Customized Just the Way You Want It
If you're ready to get rid of annoying tooth discolorations and other blemishes to achieve a virtually flawless smile, veneers or Lumineers may be the best solution for you.
