Nowadays, it seems almost impossible to upkeep the appearance of our teeth for any significant period of time.
There are plenty of people out there who, whether through their own doing, nature’s or the cruel passage of time, are very unhappy with the way their teeth look. Even something as simple as grabbing Starbucks every morning or enjoying a cigarette now and again…these activities bring about significant wear and tear on our teeth that is hard to fight with typical dental care.
When dealing with changing someone’s appearance, there are some wild options out there. Having seen in the celebrity culture how changing your appearance can get out of control, some people are afraid to initiate a change in the event they don’t know where or when to stop.
However, one of the easiest and least invasive ways to improve the appearance of your teeth is through veneers. Veneers have been around for more than ten years (you might recognize this term from TV shows like Extreme Makeover). Since then, this ever-evolving solution has given thousands and thousands of people a drastic improvement in their dental health and provided them with envy-inducing smiles.
Try to think of veneers in the same way you would think about tuning up the exterior of your car with a fresh coat of paint and some decals – they can change and improve the size, shape, colour, length and overall impact of your teeth. Sometimes referred to as porcelain veneers or laminates, veneers are a thin cast that is individually shaped to cover the front of a patient’s teeth.
Depending on your specific needs and situation, we can easily determine whether one of two variations would be best for you – porcelain or resin. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Resin veneers are thinner and require removal of less of the tooth surface before placement. By coming into our midtown office for a consultation with me, we can easily determine what’s best for you!
