Wouldnāt it be wonderful if we could keep our smiles looking beautiful and bright for life? However, as we age, itās natural for our teeth to show signs of wear and tear. Chipped, cracked, or stained teeth can stand out in a smile, making it less appealing. At Glendale Dental Wellness in Glendale, California, we recommend getting porcelain veneers to refresh your aging smile and restore its youthful appearance.
To better understand the impact of cosmetic veneers, itās essential to understand what these restorations are. Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, porcelain shells covering the front and sides of teeth with cosmetic issues to improve their overall appearance. Veneers are custom-crafted in a lab and designed to match the features of your natural teeth to give your smile a seamless appearance. Once bonded to your teeth, the transformation of your smile is instant! Instead of chipped, stained, crooked, or misshapen teeth, youāll have a gorgeous smile that appears straight, healthy, and unblemished!
By placing veneers on front teeth that are chipped, cracked, or worn, Dr. Ivan Chan can protect them from future damage. Your pearly whites will have a fresh, new look that you can be proud of! Working with veneer experts like Dr. Chan and our team will ensure your results are natural and pleasing. Here are some excellent reasons to choose veneers as your cosmetic treatment:
Esthetics: Your veneers will be custom-designed specifically for your teeth to give your smile perfect form and symmetry. Once placed on your teeth, theyāll exude a natural, seamless appearance. Your teeth wonāt look bulky, out of place, or irregular. Youāll have a smile you can love again!
Versatility ā If you struggle with the wear and tear of aging teeth, getting veneers will be a life-changer! Veneers can address multiple tooth flaws at once, giving you a smile you can be happy with. Dr. Chan and our team can use veneers to conceal chipped, cracked, and stained teeth, correct spacing problems, āstraightenā crooked teeth, or make misshapen teeth more uniform and even.
Long-lasting: Once bonded to your teeth, porcelain veneers become a durable part of your smile. They resist stains and cavities to keep your smile looking healthy and bright for years. With proper care, veneers can last 10 to 15 years. To place your veneers, we only have to remove a very thin layer of enamel so the veneers can lay flat on your teeth. No other alterations have to be made to your existing teeth.
Low Maintenance: You care for veneers like you care for natural teeth. They only need daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleaning to retain their attractive appearance. You should also avoid hard and sticky foods that arenāt good for your teeth, whether you have veneers or not.
