Bloomingdale Veneers Dentist Explains How Dental Veneers Are Ideal for Cosmetic Dentistry

Our Bloomingdale cosmetic dentists are dedicated to finding the right cosmetic treatment for each one of our patients. Every patient has a unique concern, and we aim to find a solution that will fit our patients’ timelines, goals, and budgets. Some patients may be able to achieve the smile they want with teeth whitening treatments, or orthodontic solutions. One of the most versatile cosmetic solutions, however, is the treatment option of dental veneers. Porcelain veneers can be used to fix a variety of cosmetic problems, and they are uniquely suited to achieve natural-looking and durable results.

 

Dental veneers are simply thin layers of porcelain that are applied over natural teeth. They resurface the appearance of teeth—covering even the most damaged dental enamel, and making it appear smooth and white. Dental veneers can be used to fix a variety of cosmetic problems including:

·      Misaligned teeth

·      Crooked teeth

·      Dark, dull, or stained enamel

·      Large gaps between teeth

·      Ill proportioned teeth

 

Porcelain is an ideal material for dental restorations for a number of reasons. Porcelain is white and naturally stain resistant. Additionally, porcelain reflects and refracts light similarly to natural enamel, meaning that porcelain veneers look lifelike and luminous, rather than dull or fake. Porcelain veneers can also be shaped and shaded to blend seamlessly with a patient’s natural teeth and smile.

 

Many patients choose dental veneers because their teeth are resistant to teeth whitening treatments. Patients with tetracycline stains or fluoride stains may choose dental veneers rather than teeth whitening treatments so that they can resurface their teeth along with whitening them. Dental veneers can also be used to straighten a patient’s smile without undergoing years of orthodontic treatment.

 

Veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic options available. Patients who want to correct multiple cosmetic problems at once often choose veneers because they can achieve their cosmetic goals in just one or two visits, rather than going through multiple phases of treatment.
