Get the Smile You’ve Always Dreamed of with Dental Veneers

/in /by

If you’ve ever sat down to a movie and dreamed of having a smile like a Hollywood actor, you are in luck. Dental veneers have become the go-to standard for achieving a stellar smile. Even many stars of the silver screen lack the genetics for a wonderful smile, so they turn to veneers for help. If you want the smile of your dreams, you should consider the benefits of dental veneers.

— Dental veneers are very thin but durable shells that are directly bonded onto the front of your teeth. For this process to last, a small amount of tooth enamel must be removed to ensure a sturdy bond. However, the amount of tooth enamel removed is often much less than needs to be removed from services such as a dental crown or cap.

— Dental veneers have a natural looking surface, which can be fully customized to any individual tooth, including their color. When done by the licensed professionals at [practice_name], they can be near-impossible to notice.

— Dental veneers can correct flaws in your smile, which includes size malformations, misalignments, stains, discoloration, cracks, chips, and even minor curvatures.

— Dental veneers are strong, durable and long-lasting. They are capable of lasting up to 15 years when they are properly cared for. Veneers should be treated the same as your other teeth, with proper brushing and flossing twice daily.
