It’s almost May, so you’re likely pondering fun in the sun. Maybe you’re even preparing for a summer vacation. Even so, is your smile as beach-ready as you are? It won’t do to show off yellow teeth in your vacation photos. As such, consider porcelain veneers for your pearly whites. These shells would give you a gorgeous grin worthy of summer. If you want to learn more about them, your Frisco dentists can oblige. Here, then, is a summary of veneers and how they can ready your smile for vacation.

 

What Are Veneers?

Simply put, veneers are thin, porcelain shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Dentists use them to cover up a wide range of smile flaws. The result is that veneer treatment greatly enhances your smile’s looks.

Thanks to their porcelain material, veneers are customized for each patient’s mouth. This process ensures each shell blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth. In fact, it’s to the point that most can’t tell veneered teeth and natural ones apart!

Who’s a Good Candidate for Them?

Ultimately, almost anyone can qualify for porcelain veneers. The only major treatment requirements are decent oral health and teeth with enough enamel. That said, the best veneer candidates are those with stubborn smile flaws. The shells are thus ideal for fixing issues like:

  • Deep or dark-colored tooth stains
  • Chips or cracks in tooth surfaces
  • Noticeable gaps between teeth
  • Misshapen or misaligned teeth

Of course, veneers can’t fix everything. If you have a more severe smile problem, you may need a restorative or orthodontic procedure instead.

What are Their Benefits?

With veneers on your teeth, you’ll experience benefits that make your summer great. The most common of these are:

  • Life-like Results – Since veneers use high-quality porcelain, they match with surrounding teeth. Consequently, they’ll make your smile beautiful while still looking natural.
  • A Straighter Smile – While they can’t change tooth position, veneers can cover dental misalignment. You can thus rely on them as a sort of “instant orthodontics.”
  • Confidence Boosts –  By transforming your teeth, veneers will also boost your confidence and body image. You’ll then feel nice and relaxed around family and friends!
  • Easy Maintenance –  As it happens, you can maintain veneers like natural teeth. Just remember to brush them twice daily, floss them once daily, and rinse them with mouthwash often.

In the end, dental veneers will make your smile beach-ready pretty quickly. So, book treatment with your local dentist to reap the summertime rewards!
