If you are hesitant to smile because of uneven, discolored, crooked or chipped teeth, dental veneers with your Lansdowne dentist may be the answer you have been waiting for. The extraordinarily thin, custom-made shells can mask a variety of dental problems at one time, resulting in a brighter, straighter, healthier-looking smile. Made of translucent material that closely resembles enamel, dental veneers look and feel like natural teeth.
Dental veneers are a viable option for patients who are in good general and dental health whose dental concerns are more cosmetic than functional. Patients who suffer from a significantly misaligned bite or infections like gum disease, for example, are generally not good candidates for dental veneers.
With proper care, veneers can be a long-lasting solution to a variety of dental problems. They are durable, easy to care for and stain resistant, requiring only standard good oral hygiene practices. Regularly brushing and flossing can keep your veneers looking like new for years.
Veneers can actually improve some minor functional issues for some patients. For instance, teeth that are lightly cracked can be repaired by using a veneer as a splint that increases the strength of the tooth. Dental veneers can also be individually shaped to fill gaps in between the teeth and enhance the smile’s curves, allowing the teeth to easily and more comfortably fit together.
The best way to decide if dental veneers are a good option for you is to arrange for a consultation with Dr. Kamboh. He can examine your teeth and suggest solutions that fit your personal needs.
