Originally designed for short term use by actors with bad teeth, veneers can drastically change the appearance of your smile. If your teeth are damaged, chipped, uneven or have unsightly gaps, veneers will instantly improve these problems, giving you something to smile about.
The first veneer was invented by a Californian dentist. While they looked good on his patients, they didn't last very long and proved only an aesthetic tool. After a short period of time the dental glue he used wore off and the veneers fell out. The Hollywood community picked up on the idea and used veneers for many movie stars whose smiles just didn't make the cut. Over the years better bonding techniques were developed and veneers evolved into the product we are familiar with today. While not cheap, veneers can certainly change a person's entire look. Some people have found a new confidence after having veneers and claim an attractive smile can change your life.
A veneer has two purposes, the first is to improve the overall look of a tooth, to give it a better shape and have it fit in with the rest of the teeth. The second reason is to strengthen the tooth and protect it from further damage.
Also, there are two types of veneers available. The more popular option are porcelain veneers. Composite veneers tend to be better wearing and less likely to fracture, whereas porcelain veneers provide an all over more realistic look. Composite veneers will either be placed directly on top of the existing tooth, or the dentist will grind down the tooth and bond the veneer in directly. Your dentist will choose the most appropriate option for your teeth.
Veneers are bonded using hydrofluoric acid. This is permanent and you will not need any maintenance to your veneers once the dentist has finished placing them, they can last up to thirty years before they need to be replaced.
The procedure for having veneers placed is relatively pain free. You will likely not need any aesthetic. The procedure takes place in the dentist's chair and usually takes around an hours time to be complete. Afterward, feel free to return to work or any other activities you would normally go about.
Recently veneers have become popular in the makeover style shows seen on television, due to the dramatic effect such a small and non invasive technique has on someone's whole look. Whether just replacing one fractured tooth, or several misaligned teeth, veneers can certainly give someone a beautiful new smile with minimum pain and fuss.
There are non permanent veneers available, a dentist or orthodontist can fit you with these. They really only have cosmetic value as temporary veneers chip and fall away easily and are difficult to chew with. If you have a special occasion coming up you may wish to try them as an alternative to permanent veneers.
