Now and again, we’ve all smiled into the mirror and thought that our teeth just aren’t what they could be. Maybe they’ve become stained. Maybe you’ve chipped one or two. Or perhaps they are slightly crooked or you’ve got some big gaps. An estimated 4.5% of the general population experience dental trauma every year. Accidents, like falls, are some of the most common reasons for such dental problems. At the same time, having tooth decay can increase your teeth’s risks of getting damaged. This is especially true for untreated cavities, which affect 31.6% of US adults aged 20 to 44. If your teeth are stained, then you could try whitening. However, whitening does not always produce the results that people want or hope for. What you need is an option that can make a visible difference to your teeth without being too much of a major treatment and this is the point where many people opt for Dental Veneers in Glendale, CA.
How Dental Veneers Work
Dental veneers are one of the most versatile tools a dentist has to help repair and rejuvenate your smile. Essentially veneers are paper-thin pieces of porcelain that mimic tooth enamel almost perfectly. Our dentists place the veneers over your teeth, providing structural support and giving patients the ability to smile with confidence. Since they can closely match the shade of your enamel, veneers are virtually indistinguishable once we place them. Thus, your teeth will look great without anyone knowing that you have dental veneers. Porcelain is one of the most widely used materials for veneers, as it is easily shaped and it is very durable.Porcelain veneers will often last up to ten years. Veneers can also be made from composite materials, which are a cheaper alternative whereas composite veneers may only last two years. Placing the Porcelain Veneers in Glendale, CA begins with an initial consultation visit to Infinite Dental Wellness, during which time our dentists can determine if the patient is a good candidate for dental veneers. During this stage of the process, we will evaluate the teeth, discuss the types and scope of the veneers, and conduct a smile analysis to determine what kind of smile the patient is looking for. Following that process, we can complete cosmetic imaging to show the patient what the smile could look like. How To Care For Your Dental Veneers
