It’s not easy to feel comfortable with a smile that is full of crooked, broken, or discolored teeth. One simple solution to this problem is veneers. Veneers can create a smile that is aesthetically pleasing and also builds confidence in the person.
Veneers are made out of two materials, composite resin or porcelain. Dentists in Milpitas use porcelain or a porcelain compound to make the veneers, which leads to longer lasting veneers. These will last between 10 to 30 years without falling off or breaking. If the patient desires a cheaper but much less durable veneer, flexible resin can be used, and the veneer can be popped on and off the tooth.
Veneers are an easily accessible option for everyone. Originally they were used in Hollywood for actors whose teeth weren’t evenly spaced or colored, and they were held on by denture cream. These early veneers would fall off only after a few hours. Now, the actual veneers, what would be used in a dentist office, are fabricated in a lab. Dentists aren’t necessary for putting veneers on teeth. Patients can purchase a do it yourself kit that contains what is needed, although the color and the quality will not measure up to what a Milpitas dentist can do.
Having a veneer bonded to teeth is a simple process. The dentist will take measurements of the teeth in the patients mouth, and will find the combination that will create the perfect smile for the patient. Veneers can be used to cover teeth that have aged faster than those around it, discolored, chipped, or crooked teeth. Porcelain veneers can be bonded to the tooth using composite resin, which has been proven to last for longer periods of time than a regular composite veneer. They are worth the investment, for a fresher looking smile.
