Veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment among individuals who want to have a radiant, confident smile. Are you thinking about getting them? It is understandable if you have some mixed feelings — after all, veneers represent a big commitment! How can you know if they are right for you? A qualified dentist can help you decide during a cosmetic consultation. In the meantime, you might find it interesting to consider some of the benefits you may enjoy as a result of undergoing this treatment.
Comprehensive Smile Enhancement
In a sense, veneers can be classified as an “all-in-one” cosmetic treatment because they can disguise multiple aesthetic imperfections, including:
- Stains and discoloration (including stubborn discoloration that might not respond to regular teeth whitening)
- Chips
- Cracks
- Asymmetrical teeth
- Certain cases of minor misalignment
Long-Lasting Results
Veneers are made of very durable dental-grade porcelain, and the adhesive that binds them to teeth is very strong. Therefore, you can expect your upgraded smile to stand the test of time. With proper care, veneers have the potential to last for a decade or longer. In fact, some patients keep a set of veneers for multiple decades.
Improved Confidence
Do aesthetic imperfections in your smile affect the way you interact with other people? Low self-confidence can dampen your social life! Veneers may be able to help. When you feel good about what you see in the mirror, you may find it easier to let your wonderful personality shine when you are going out with friends, meeting new people, or trying to impress clients at work.
Easy Maintenance
For most people, getting veneers does not require any major lifestyle changes. In fact, many of the same principles that apply to caring for regular teeth also hold true for veneers. Thorough oral hygiene, a balanced diet, routine dental checkups, and other reasonable precautions can keep your veneers in good shape for many years.
Outstanding Value
Some people hesitate to get veneers because of their cost. Admittedly, they are one of the higher-priced cosmetic options. However, they represent an outstanding value. In fact, if you calculate their cost per day over the course of 10 or 15 years, their price is very reasonable! Plus, they offer non-quantitative value in that they can improve the way you perceive yourself and the way you experience the world.
Are you on the fence about getting veneers? Your dentist can help you decide whether this treatment is a good fit for you.
