A beautiful smile is attributed to youth, confidence, and success; however, few people have perfect teeth without a little help from a cosmetic dentist. Veneers are a popular solution to create million-dollar smiles. You don’t have to be rich or famous to revamp your pearly whites. People from all walks of life are transforming their teeth with veneers, like many of your favorite social media influencers. Huda Kattan, Tana Mongeau, and Gigi Gorgeous have shared their experiences with their online followers, showcasing the benefits of veneers. Here’s how you can get your smile ready for the spotlight.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
A veneer is a customized shell that’s bonded to the front side of a tooth, instantly improving its color, size, and shape. However, bonding them to the teeth visible when smiling creates drastic results that aren’t possible using other methods.
You can fix many issues at once using a minimally invasive method, like stains, chips, or gaps. Porcelain creates results that look and feel natural. Your stunning smile can last for a decade or more with the correct care.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
There are more options than ever before to address common aesthetic concerns, but veneers rank among the most popular services year after year, and for good reasons, like:
- Save Time and Money: You won’t need multiple or lengthy treatments to reach your goals. You can have a picture-perfect smile in as few as 2 appointments.
- Flawless Results: Each veneer is carefully crafted to fit your tooth like a glove. They will look and feel like your real teeth, so only a trained dental professional will know they aren’t part of your natural smile.
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: Porcelain allows veneers to be thinner than before, so less of your tooth structure is removed during the bonding process.
- Durability: Although veneers are thin, they are durable to provide lasting results.
- Long Lifespan: On average, a veneer will need to be replaced every 10 years, but it’s not unusual for them to last for much longer.
- Easy Maintenance and Care: You care for veneers the same as your natural teeth; however, only use nonabrasive dental products to prevent scratching them, like a soft-bristled toothbrush.
You can’t put a price on the benefits you’ll gain by improving the appearance of your teeth. You’ll boost your self-esteem and ensure your smile is giving the right impression.
Whether you strive to be an influencer or want to sharpen your professional image, veneers can be the solution for you. You’ll never have to think twice before flashing your smile.
