Cosmetic Dentistry: What Are The Benefits of Dental Veneers?

Our experts at Nuffield Dental Siglap have provided several benefits of dental veneers and why you should get them.

Why Should You Get Dental Veneers?

 Veneers help to fix dental issues like: 

• Chipped teeth
• Missing teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Misshaped teeth
• Stained or discoloured teeth

Enhanced self-confidence

One of the significant benefits to this cosmetic dentistry procedure is a huge boost of self-confidence. Many avoid smiling with teeth as they get embarrassed from their current smile. With veneers, you can leave this fear behind.

Confident people are found to be less anxious and stressed out. When you feel good, you tend tol feel less anxiety. It all starts with having a confident self-image and that’s what veneers can give you.

Permanent and durable

Porcelain veneers are permanent and non-porous which means they actually resist decay and staining enhanced than real teeth. This ensures a long term solution for decaying teeth. With good oral health, veneers can last up till 15 years. 

Permanent tooth whitening solution

While being a solution for damaged teeth, the main reason many get the veneer procedure is for its teeth whitening solution. They are stain resistant and feel just like natural teeth. You will be given the option to choose the shades to match the colour of your teeth and suit your liking.

Helps with enamel loss

Enamel is the protective layer of the teeth. With ageing, your natural tooth enamel, is lost. Enamel erosion causes your teeth to be vulnerable and susceptible to everyday damage. With veneers, you are able to conceal any uneven or jagged edges on your teeth while protecting your teeth from further damage.

How to Take Care of Your Veneers?

Just like other dental procedures, it is important to implement good oral hygiene to maintain the look of your veneers. You need to brush and floss twice a day - once in the day and night. 

You should also schedule regular appointments to the dentist every 6 months to check the status of your teeth. 

While they are stain-resistant, your diet should still be monitored with veneers. Being conscious of the foods you eat will enhance the longevity of your veneers. Reduce biting or chewing on ice or hard foods like raw carrots and apples. You should also limit drinking strong-coloured and alocholic drinks. 

Why Veneers Over Dental Crowns?

It is commonly asked if veneers and crowns are the same. While they both enhance the appearance of the smile, they have different functions. Veneers solely cover the front surface of the tooth to enhance Implants, on the other hand, replace the entire tooth. 

Since veneers are bonded to the front surface of your teeth, dental crowns are fit over a tooth or multiple teeth. This means that enamel is removed for a crown than for a veneer.
