Are you hesitant to smile? There’s no reason to be self-conscious of gaps in your teeth or teeth that are stained, chipped, badly shaped or crooked. Today a dental veneer placed on top of your tooth can correct nature’s mistakes or the results of an injury and help you have a beautiful smile.
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. They’re made by a dental technician, usually in a dental lab, working from a model.
You should know that this is usually an irreversible process because it’s necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to accommodate the shell.
It may be recommended that you avoid some foods and beverages that may stain or discolor your veneers such as coffee, tea or red wine. Sometimes a veneer might chip or fracture. But for many people, the results are more than worth it.
