How to Know If You Are a Candidate for Dental Veneers

How to Know If You Are a Candidate for Dental Veneers

You can improve your emotional and mental well-being by changing how your teeth look. The alteration will impact your physical health and can build your self-esteem. It can make you more confident about your smile. 

 

You can renovate your smile using dental veneers and still retain the health of your teeth. People have been using them since the late 1920s. They helped during filming on movie sets to give actors perfect teeth. But then, they were temporary and not considered a treatment option for permanent reasons.

 

Advancements in technology have made porcelain veneers available to individuals who want perfect smiles. Modern veneers are porcelain materials fabricated to look like your natural teeth. During your dental visit, your doctor will carefully adhere the veneers to your teeth's surface.

 

Once on the teeth, they mask chips, cracks, and severe stains. Your dentist must first remove a layer of your tooth enamel at the front. However, there are also no-prep veneers that you can opt for if you do not want to have your tooth enamel removed.

 

You can also alter your teeth's shape using dental veneers. They close the gaps between teeth, elongate teeth, and change the appearance of crooked teeth. Read more to find out if you qualify to be a dental veneer candidate.

 

You Have Severely Stained Teeth

 

Teeth whitening treatment can effectively work on mildly stained or discolored teeth. However, porcelains may be the only solution for teeth with darker stains, as modern whitening products can be ineffective on them.

 

Porcelain veneers can cover the stains and any internal discoloration caused by decay or old fillings.

 

You Have Healthy Teeth and Gums

 

Healthy teeth and gums are ideal for supporting the veneers. The bonding agent will need to adhere effectively to the front part of your teeth. For this to happen, the dentist will remove a small portion of your enamel. Therefore, you need to have healthy gums and teeth for proper preparation.

 

You Want to Have Veneers Forever

 

The preparation for veneers is irreversible. It requires an individual who has already decided to have them for the rest of their life. They may need replacement after ten years as they wear out after a decade. It is not possible to switch from veneers to dental bonding. Both treatment options require different preparation for your teeth.

 

You Have Cosmetic Issues

 

If you have misshapen teeth, chips, or cracks on your teeth, veneers can effectively conceal them. Dental bonding can also fix such issues. However, dental veneers give a more natural-looking correction. 

 

Porcelain veneers are versatile. They can solve various cosmetic tooth problems at the same time. For example, if you have a crooked tooth, another chipped one, and several with stains, you can fix all three problems using dental veneers. You would otherwise have to invest in different treatments to achieve your desired results. 

 

You Have Plenty of Teeth Enamel

 

Your dentist must first remove your enamel and then remove the layer underneath. You need a healthy tooth surface so that your dental veneer bonds properly.
