Don’t let multiple dental imperfections put a damper on your summer fun! This season is the perfect time to get your smile selfie-ready for all the vacations, celebrations, and parties you’ll have with three-day weekends and some time off to relax. If there are several traits of your smile you’d like to improve at once, here’s how veneers can boost your confidence and enhance your summer experience.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made sheaths of enamel-colored materials that are placed on the visible surface of your teeth to mask multiple dental flaws at once. They are designed to replicate the natural appearance of tooth enamel. Typically, veneers are made of dental porcelain, so they are also stain-resistant!
The Process of Getting Veneers
The process of getting veneers usually takes only two visits to your dentist! As such, summer is the perfect time to undergo the procedure to get veneers. A more lax schedule and routine means squeezing in two trips to the dentist is a breeze.
You’ll first have a consultation with your dentist, where you will establish your smile goals and highlight which dental imperfections you’d like corrected. From there, you’ll get a customized treatment plan.
Should you decide to continue with treatment, you’ll need to get a tiny amount of enamel removed. This is so the sheaths can lay flush and blend in with your surrounding teeth. Then, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth and send them off to the lab to craft your veneers. After they’re ready, you’ll come back in and have your permanent veneers placed on your teeth and you’ll have your summer smile!
What Can Veneers Do for My Smile?
Veneers offer a stain-resistant, durable, and long-lasting way to conceal a variety of dental flaws in a single procedure. Some imperfections veneers can cover are:
- Small spaces or gaps between teeth
- Severe staining or discoloration
- Minor chips and cracks
- Misshapen teeth
- Teeth that are the wrong size
- Crooked or worn-down teeth
With proper maintenance, veneers can last for an average of 15 to 25 years. If you’ve got time for two dental appointments, talk to your dentist about veneers for a simple way to get your dream smile.
