How To Get A Perfect Smile
A simple smile can be a great conversation starter with that attractive stranger across the room that catches your eye.
A simple smile could have changed the mind of your potential boss during that pivotal job interview.
A simple smile could do all that and more-so why aren't people smiling more often? One of the most common reasons why they can't turn that frown of theirs into a smile is because they're embarrassed of their teeth.
Chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, and unevenness are some of the tooth problems plaguing, well, just about everybody.
One of the most popular methods to solve the problem of imperfect teeth is by undergoing the dental veneer procedure.
Dental veneers are thin shell-like strips made out composite resin or porcelain material and are typically used to cover up common tooth flaws.
Of the two, composite resin dental veneers are the more inexpensive option for minor chips, discoloration, or cracks.
The expensive, and likewise deemed the superior cosmetic veneer choice, is made out of porcelain material which can replicate not just the appearance of natural teeth but even the feel of it.
They are also deemed superior due to their durability and resistance to problems like chipping and staining.
These veneers can be created by either a ceramist or the cosmetic dentist himself who will also oversee the procedure.
The dental veneer procedure involves your cosmetic dentist chipping off a thin layer of enamel from your teeth to make way for the veneers and then applying the customized veneers that will be bonded in place by dental cement.
Now before you jump the gun and demand the procedure from your dentist, there are a few things to keep in mind: the procedure isn't for everybody.
Your dentist should deem you first as a good candidate to undergo the procedure.
Insufficient tooth enamel, severe tooth decay, or incessant teeth grinding are just examples of the problems that could cause your dentist to think twice about even suggesting the procedure.
Another issue is that it's a not reversible process; should your veneers get damaged or fall off, you would have to seek out your dentist again to re-apply the veneer to cover up the shaved enamel of your teeth.
