Transform Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are among one of the most preferred cosmetic treatments because it provides drastic results using a minimally invasive procedure. By attaching the thin shells to the front side of the teeth, your flaws are instantly hidden while your smile become shapelier and more proportionate.
Due to their diverse use, they can treat an array of issues that cause you to feel insecure. In addition to chips and cracks, they can be used to make your teeth appear brighter when traditional whitening treatments are ineffective. In addition, they can often be used as an alternative to braces by covering minor gaps and overcrowding concerns.
Invest in Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers
When compared to veneers of the past, porcelain allows the procedure to be minimally invasive because they are thinner to leave more of your tooth’s structure intact. While they are thinner, they are equally as durable, allowing you to maintain your new smile for 7 to 10 years with the right aftercare.
Although the veneers are not subject to decay, your underlying teeth are, so it is important to maintain your oral hygiene routine. However, it is best to make some changes to the products you use. Choose those that are nonabrasive to prevent scratches from developing on their surface, which can lead to discoloration.
In addition, to prevent the veneers from chipping, cracking, or breaking, it is best to avoid using your teeth as tools or biting your nails. It is often recommended that you do not bite overly hard foods, such as ice.
With the right care, your new smile will last for several years. However, if one should become damaged, your dentist in Virginia Beach can easily replace it.
