Veneers are a versatile cosmetic treatment that can take your smile from either beautiful to stunning, or damaged to transformed—it all depends on your goals and needs. Give your smile either a minor refresh or a complete makeover with this comprehensive treatment simply by determining how many veneers you want. Read on to learn more about dental veneers in Cleburne and how to determine how many you need.
What Exactly are Veneers?
Veneers are small, custom crafted restorations that are designed by cosmetic dentists in collaboration with dental laboratories. They’re shaded and texturized to look identical to your natural smile, all while subtly (or dramatically) enhancing its overall appearance. The veneers are affixed to the front visible surface of the natural teeth after they’re prepared. This involves removing a very thin layer of enamel, which will allow the veneers to lay flush with the surrounding teeth once they’re cemented onto them. One of the best benefits of this treatment is that the veneers will continue doing their job for well over a decade with good oral hygiene!
You May Only Need a Few Veneers If…
Do you think only one, two, or three veneers will do the trick? This could be the case if you have just a few individual teeth that are chipped, severely discolored or misshapen, or slightly crooked. By securing the veneer over these individual impacted teeth, you can improve the overall appearance of your smile, helping give your confidence a little boost that will make a big difference in your life. This can take your grin from pretty to stunning within a couple of weeks!
You Could Benefit from More Veneers If…
If you find yourself feeling down about your smile, going so far as to hide it behind pursed lips or your hand instead of letting others see it, then you might benefit from more than a few veneers. Your smile zone includes the front top and bottom eight or so teeth in your mouth. When they’re discolored, crooked or crowded, damaged, or misshapen, it can have a big impact on how you present yourself, your confidence, and your comfortability when taking photos. Although these sound like small, specific moments, they can be the difference between truly enjoying yourself and wanting to remain in the background.
By receiving between eight and 16 veneers, you can transform the entire appearance of your smile. As a result, it will look brighter, more symmetrical and aligned, and overall more conventionally attractive.
The best way to determine how many veneers you need is to schedule a consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Cleburne. Get professional guidance and see before and after photos of real-life patients that they’ve treated to find the clarity you need. Once you do, you can feel confident moving forward with your treatment plan!
