Dental Veneers :
Veneers are cosmetic dentistry options available to improve the look of your teeth.
Veneers are made to fit over the front surface of the tooth and then stuck in place to offer up a new artificial, yet natural-looking layer. The principle is much the same as a false fingernail or nail extension.
Veneers are capable of lasting 5-20 years, depending on the material used. Once fitted you can live life normally, with the benefit of a new and improved smile.
Some of the reasons you might decide on veneers are because they:
- Change the tooth color
- Improve alignment
- Close small gaps in the teeth
- Change the tooth shape
- Repair chipped and damaged teeth
- Improve worn teeth
- Improve the damage done by bruxism
- Are a less intrusive option than crowns
