Are you unhappy with certain parts of your smile? You don’t have to settle for a life behind teeth you aren’t 100% happy with! Porcelain veneers are one of the leading cosmetic dentistry treatments available today. Keep reading to learn more about veneers, their benefits, and how to take care of them!
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are designed to cover the front side of teeth. Veneers are completely customizable, so patients have the opportunity to choose the shade, shape, size, and length of their new teeth. Once the specifics of the veneers are determined, the teeth are prepared by removing a layer of enamel to make room for the veneers to sit comfortably on top of the existing teeth. Once the veneers have been made, they are permanently bonded to the front side of teeth and patients can start enjoying their new smile.
Veneers can be used to correct:
- Cracked or worn-down teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Mild misalignment
- Misshapen teeth

Caring For Your Veneers
One of the many advantages of veneers is that they don’t require a lot of maintenance. Similar to your natural teeth, veneers should be brushed twice a day. The best thing to do is treat your veneers like you would your natural teeth. Even though they’re strong, make sure you aren’t opening packages or containers with your teeth, or eating tough food and hard candy that may crack your veneers. With proper care, veneers can last up to 15 years!
