Many individuals are unhappy with the appearance of their teeth. It could be a chip or crack. Perhaps they have yellowed over the years. At Premier Dental & Oral Health Group, we provide veneers for myriad tooth issues.

You Don’t Have to Live With Chips and Cracks

You don’t have to live with shortcomings in your smile. In today’s post, we discuss one of these solutions: dental veneers.

In a perfect world, each of your cherished teeth would stay healthy, strong, and bright white from childhood to your golden years. However, our teeth work hard for us and take some bumps along the way.

Most Missouri men and women will need to restore a tooth at some point. And if you only need one tooth restored, you’re fortunate. Some men and women need a restoration every few years.

And there are also men and women whose teeth are healthy, but they were never attractive, to begin with.

What are Dental Veneers?

Traditional veneers come in the form of tooth-colored “shells” that are fitted to the teeth. Each veneer is tailored to one individual tooth and is affixed permanently to the front. Once placed, it covers the entire visible portion of the tooth.

A veneer can be used when the underlying tooth is structurally sound and free of decay. A beautiful veneer can cover a chip or crack or correct the alignment of a tooth that appears slightly off-kilter as compared to surrounding teeth.

Veneers are Custom-Matched to Your Teeth

Veneers are fabricated with dental porcelain or composite resin. Many men and women find veneers appealing because they can create a white smile. A veneer can also protect a tooth from damage.

The latest veneers are thinner and stronger than ever. Your dentist only has to remove a minuscule bit of tooth structure to allow for the thickness of the veneer.

An Attractive Smile Increases Your Confidence

Plenty of people have chipped or stained teeth. When it comes to a professional setting, appearances, and first impressions are important, and that starts with a smile.

Veneers can create a truly celebrity-caliber smile. That is why they are becoming very popular amongst young professionals especially those who have teeth that have darkened or have a superficial crack or small chip.

If you want to be more self-confident in professional and social settings, make your smile a priority.
