What are dental veneers?

You may have heard of dental veneers before, but what exactly are they? Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that are carefully placed over your existing teeth. Veneers improve your smile by hiding imperfections and creating a more uniform and natural-looking set of teeth. They can correct various cosmetic issues such as:

• Discoloration
• Broken or chipped teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Misshapen or uneven teeth
• Slightly crooked teeth

Can anyone get dental veneers?

Most people are good candidates for dental veneers. However, your teeth and gums must be healthy before undergoing any cosmetic procedure. If you have underlying gum disease or cavities, they will need to be addressed first. Dr. Hildebrandt can evaluate your oral health and determine if you are eligible during a consultation.

What are the benefits of dental veneers?

There are many reasons patients in Peoria, AZ choose dental veneers:

• Natural-looking results: Veneers are designed to match the color and translucence of your enamel, making them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
• Long-lasting: Dental veneers can last10 – 15 years or longer. Simply maintain good oral hygiene and avoid habits that can damage your veneers.
• Stain-resistant: Veneers are resistant to staining from dark-colored food and drinks, allowing you to maintain a bright smile long-term.
• Minimally invasive procedure: The process of placing veneers involves minimal preparation. This means less discomfort and faster healing time.

How do you maintain dental veneers?

Caring for your dental veneers is like caring for your natural teeth. Brush and floss regularly, avoid hard or sticky foods, and book an appointment at Reflections Dental every six months for regular cleanings and check-ups. Additionally, break any bad habits that can damage your veneers, such as nail-biting or using your teeth as tools. This simple maintenance routine will help your veneers last longer and maintain their beautiful appearance, giving you peace of mind.

How veneers can unlock your dream smile
