When you think of dental veneers, you may think of Hollywood movie stars with perfect smiles. But you may be surprised to learn that veneers are not just for making your teeth look nicer. In fact, they can be used to help restore or protect your natural teeth from damage.
Dental veneers are a thin shell that is bonded to the front of your teeth. Depending on the materials used, some veneers can even be stain resistant. They are made to look as natural as possible, and yes, they do help make your smile look nicer! But some more common reasons that people get veneers are to protect teeth that have been:
- Discolored
- Worn down
- Misaligned
- Unevenly shaped
- Chipped or broken
And with proper oral hygiene and bi-yearly dental checkups, your veneers can last up to 15 years before needing to be replaced. They are a great tool that can help uplift your smile and give your teeth an extra layer of protection.
