Do you feel totally confident in your smile? If you have problems with stubborn discoloration or unevenness, you may not feel as secure as you would like to be. Your team at Hygge Laser Dentistry in Seattle, WA, offers cosmetic services that can help improve these concerns and boost your self-esteem. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about porcelain veneers as one of these methods.
What Are Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are tooth-shaped shells that cover the front of your natural tooth. This cosmetic solution can be used to help your smile appear more even. You can choose to have veneers placed on teeth that have imperfections such as discoloration, misshapen structures, small gaps, and more. This cosmetic treatment option may be an ideal solution for you if you have several areas you would like to address. The shells are custom made to precisely fit your smile for a natural, life-like appearance. Dental porcelain is highly durable and stain-resistant, so you can continue eating and drinking your favorite things with less worry about damaging the shells.
Take Care Of Your Oral Health
Before moving forward with any aesthetic dental treatments, it’s important to first ensure that your teeth and gums are in good health. When you come in for a checkup and consultation, your dentist will carefully examine your smile and look for any potential concerns. For example, cavities should be treated before veneers are placed. If tooth decay is not treated, it could lead to your shells slipping off or not lasting as long as they should. With a healthy smile and proper care, your veneers should last for several years before needing to be replaced. Patients with gum disease may not be able to have this cosmetic procedure done because your gums and teeth may not be able to adequately support the shells. Instead, your dentist may suggest options such as cosmetic contouring or dental crowns.
