The simple answer is no. Dental veneers cannot cover all oral imperfections. However, they can make a huge difference cosmetically and create a beautiful bright smile when it comes to many imperfections. Dental veneers are thin, crafted shells used to cover up the front side of the teeth. The shells are tooth-colored and individually crafted to match your already healthy teeth so that they fit in well with your smile.
Reasons to Get Dental Veneers
Although dental veneers cannot cover all imperfections, they do work great for many different ones. Chips in the teeth are not uncommon and can be evident in a smile. They can happen when certain spots of the teeth experience too much wear and tear or trauma. When chips are visible in the front of the teeth, dental veneers can be great options. Aside from a chipped tooth, a tooth can break completely, leaving a visible imperfection or leading to the loss of a tooth completely. Dental veneers are a common method used when teeth are broken. Teeth can break due to trauma to the mouth or teeth and commonly happen in sports accidents, but can also be caused by large cavities or the loss of a filling. Tooth stains are a very common reason people get veneers. Sometimes, stains can be removed by forms of whitening, but veneers provide a great replacement when they cannot. Veneers are also less likely to stain than regular teeth, so they can be a great option for those who enjoy foods or beverages that tend to stain teeth easily.
There is no perfect solution for everything, but dental veneers can be an excellent solution for many dental imperfections. Being confident in your smile can change your whole life and allow you to enjoy things you have not enjoyed in the past.
