When interacting with other people, your smile is the first thing they will notice. What if you have crooked and chipped teeth, won’t that reduce your confidence? Gladly, veneers are meant to uplift your smile and ultimately address your overall teeth’ aesthetic problems.
Ideally, veneers entail porcelain or composite resin coverings aimed at correcting stained or chipped teeth and are often bonded at the front surface of your teeth. The first thing that comes to mind when the dentist mentions veneers is whether they suit you. Let’s dive into the pros and cons of veneers for detailed information.
PROS OF VENEERS
VENEERS WHITEN YOUR TEETH
If you have stained teeth, veneers are the best option for your case as they uplift your smile. Furthermore, dental veneers are resistant to agents of stains such as cigars and coffee; hence you never have to worry about whitening them in the future.
VERSATILITY
Dental veneers have a variety of solutions for your teeth. From covering stains and chips to hiding crooked and discolored teeth, veneers provide a wide range of solutions at a go. What are you waiting for?
AFFORDABILITY
Veneers last long when fitted on your teeth; hence they are cost-efficient due to their durability. Dental veneers are pocket-friendly compared to other teeth whitening procedures and offer an excellent return on your money.
CONS OF VENEERS
INCREASED SENSITIVITY
During a fitting for veneers, a thin layer of your enamel is removed to ensure perfect fixation. Consequently, this increases your teeth’ sensitivity to cold and hot foods and beverages which is quite uncomfortable.
SHORT LIFESPAN SOLUTION
While they offer solutions for about 10 years, compared to other dental restoration procedures such as crowns and bridges, they offer shorter lifespan solutions. Patients with grinding and clenching habits tend to wear out over time, reducing their lifespan significantly.
