Sciota, Pennsylvania
As we get older, it’s inevitable to start noticing changes in our appearance. Your hair may turn gray and your skin may show signs of aging, but your teeth also can change with age. Specifically, wear and tear can leave your smile looking less dazzling than it once may have. When you look at your teeth in the mirror, are you satisfied with what you see? If not, receiving veneers from a trained cosmetic dentist in Sciota can make a big difference in the appearance of your smile. Today on the blog, we take a look at how you can invest in yourself by getting veneers.
Veneers are a tried-and-true treatment option in cosmetic dentistry
Modern veneers can correct an assortment of different cosmetic issues, producing beautiful results.
Veneers simultaneously can address several aesthetic flaws, including:
- Teeth that are chipped, cracked, differently sized or fractured
- Discoloration that has proven resistant to other methods of whitening teeth
- Correcting issues where teeth are of different sizes
- Concealing an unwanted gap between teeth
Quiet Valley Dental works with veneers that are made of dental porcelain. These veneers consist of a thin shell of the porcelain itself—a beautiful, stain-resistant, and durable material that has a similar translucency to real tooth enamel. This translucent quality, combined with our ability to match the shade of your veneers to your other natural teeth, allows teeth that receive veneers to blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Why you should consider veneers
Longer-lasting whitening – Even a professional will need to be repeated in order to maintain results. Teeth whitening procedures also do not address all types of stains; intrinsic stains, for example, do not respond well to even the most powerful whitening agents. Veneers can be placed on all the visible tooth surfaces in your mouth, making for a dramatic difference in the appearance of your smile. Dental porcelain also is resistant to the stains that can be caused by coffee, red wine, or using tobacco.
“Instant” orthodontics – If you just want to have the appearance of straighter teeth, veneers can achieve this as well. Just a couple of visits to our office can have you with a visible smile of straight, perfectly-aligned teeth without dealing with braces or plastic aligners. Remember, veneers will do nothing to alter the structure of your teeth, meaning you remain vulnerable to issues such as bite misalignment and gum disease.
Durability – No cosmetic dental treatment just meant to last forever, but if you are diligent about your oral hygiene, a well-maintained set of veneers can last as long as a few decades. You can prolong the effective lifespan of veneers, or any cosmetic procedure, by avoiding habits like using your teeth as tools to open objects or chomping on ice cubes.
