Dental veneers were essentially born in the movie industry. Those who made a career out of their images understood the power of a dazzling smile very well, and dentists devised a simple solution to hiding any flaws. Of course, in the early days veneers were known as uncomfortable, exorbitantly expensive, and very short-lived. As materials and techniques improved, veneers became an affordable, long-lasting solution, earning them widespread popularity with the public.
Are they right for you?
The most important qualification is relatively healthy teeth. Veneers can correct some problems like worn enamel, chips, and very fine fractures, but they are too thin to restore broken, weak, or decayed teeth. Of course, if your teeth don't have enough healthy structure to support veneers, you probably need more than cosmetic work. Options like crowns and cosmetic fillings can restore the health, function, and appearance of teeth.
If your smile is basically healthy, but you are not happy with the way it looks you might be a perfect candidate for veneers. They can effectively cover flaws including:
- Permanent stains or naturally dark coloring
- Uneven size or shape
- Gaps between teeth
- Unattractive shape
- Chips and other blemishes
