Veneers, yes, those little thin coverings that are strategically placed in front of your teeth, can do more for your smile than you can imagine. The following are some things veneers can do for you.
Stained Teeth
One thing many people visit the Upper Hunt Club Dental Centre in Ottawa for is stained teeth. People may try at-home solutions before seeing a professional. When that fails, this problem may be solved by simply bleaching the stained area, but sometimes, this procedure is not a good option. Stains occur for all sorts of reasons. It may have to do with coffee, wine, or staining foods like blueberries. You may want to rinse your mouth out after eating certain foods to help avoid stains. Of course, stains could also come from specific habits like chewing or smoking tobacco. If the stain is on the surface of your teeth, then dealing with it is a lot simpler. A problem arises when the stain is deep. When this occurs, the best solution may be to use veneers to give you back your smile.
Chipped Teeth
You'd be surprised how many people visit us at the Upper Hunt Club Dental Centre in Ottawa because of a chipped tooth. It's easy to think your teeth are indestructible, but the reality is the right impact could chip or even crack your tooth. Depending on the damage, the issue might just be visual, but you'll have to schedule an appointment with your dentist to know the true level of damage. If the problem is just visual, then one of the most effective ways to solve the problem is with veneers. Veneers will take care of that imperfection so that you can smile freely again. You don't have to worry about the chip showing up in a picture or another person asking what happened to your tooth. Keep in mind your tooth is going to be bonded if it's cracked, too. This is good because a crack could make it easier for bacteria to colonize your damaged tooth, so addressing an issue like this is vital, no matter what you decide regarding veneers.
Worn Teeth
Worn teeth may not be something people talk about often, but it happens to a lot of individuals. The enamel is white, but when this gets worn down too much, the dentin starts to show. This has a yellow colour, and there's no way of whitening that because that is its natural colour. Most of the time, you notice this on top of your tooth where you chew. This happens because your enamel has been weakened somehow. Part of the problem could be regular use, but the other part could simply be because you are low in certain nutrients that help remineralize your teeth. At this point, your teeth are already making your smile look bad. You don't have to deal with a smile like this if you invest in good veneers. Talk to your dentist and find out if veneers are the right choice for your worn-down teeth.
Imperfect Smiles
Some people need veneers to improve their imperfect smiles. Everyone wants that beautiful Hollywood smile, yet some people simply don't have it. This may not have anything to do with stained teeth or a chipped tooth. Sometimes, this has something to do with genetics. A gummy smile, for example, is one kind of smile that some individuals feel uncomfortable with. Television and movies have made it easy to feel uncomfortable with a gummy smile because you hardly see these smiles on screen. There's nothing wrong with a gummy smile, but some folks want something else, and veneers can do that for you. Another type of imperfect smile some people have to deal with is a smile with gaps. Yes, sometimes, teeth don't line up perfectly, and you have to deal with a gap. You can use veneers to mask that issue if you wish.
