5 Noteworthy Reasons to Consider Veneers

Are you ready to finally have a smile that you genuinely love? One that makes you feel your best whether you’re taking a photo with friends or meeting someone new? If so, you might be considering veneers, which are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments. If you haven’t signed on the dotted line yet, keep reading for five reasons both patients and dentists love them!

1. Veneers Are Versatile

If you are struggling with slight discoloration, then one whitening treatment may be all you need to achieve your dream smile. But what if you are dealing with several gaps, noticeable chips, and permanent stains? Does that mean you need to dedicate the next 12+ months to back-to-back treatments? Thanks to veneers, the answer is “no!” With the thin shells of porcelain, your dentist can conceal multiple dental imperfections at the same time.

2. Veneers Are Low Maintenance

Another perk: you don’t need to buy expensive dental care products to keep your veneers in pristine condition. You don’t need to worry about stubborn stains resurfacing or adjusting your diet either! Simply use the same best practices that keep your natural teeth in tip-top shape, like brushing twice a day, cutting back on added sugar, and scheduling a dental visit every six months.

3. Veneers Can Last for 10+ Years

Sometimes, patients experience a bit of sticker shock when they get a quote for veneers. It’s important to remember, however, that yours can last for well over a decade with proper care. As a result, they could end up being the best choice for your wallet in the long run.

4. Veneers Can Be Placed in Just Two Visits

Not only can veneers conceal a wide range of imperfections, but they can do so in as little as two visits! At your consultation, your cosmetic dentist will learn all about your smile goals and determine the best way to make them a reality. If the answer is “veneers,” then they will get to work creating your custom treatment plan and review the next steps.

5. Veneers Can Improve Your Oral Health

All too often, patients assume that veneers (and other cosmetic dental treatments) are purely aesthetic. The truth is that veneers can improve your oral health by closing gaps, fixing chips, and even improving your bite. Plus, if you have a smile you love, you’ll implement good habits into your routine, like brushing and flossing consistently, which will reduce your risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease.
