3 Reasons You'll Love Dental Veneers

What are the first things you think of when you imagine a great smile? Probably beautifully white, bright teeth that line up in neat rows, right? For many, a few imperfections and issues stand between a good smile and a great smile, and the odds are excellent that dental veneers can bridge this gap.

Here at Pure Smiles, Dr. Leila Shahbazi and the team are aware of the impact teeth can have on your smile, which is why we offer comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services that include versatile dental veneers.

In the following, we review why dental veneers are so popular — globally, it’s a $2+ billion market and growing — and how they can help improve your already great smile.

1. Veneers deliver dazzling smiles

One of the primary reasons our patients love dental veneers is how they can whiten and brighten the teeth in your smile zone.

Over time, stains can accumulate on your teeth that resist even our professional teeth cleaning services — those morning cups of coffee can add up. 

Also, as you age, the protective enamel on your teeth can begin to wear down. When this occurs, the darker dentin inside your teeth begins to show through, which is what leads to the yellowing effect. Or, maybe you have a dead tooth that’s much darker than your surrounding teeth.

Whatever stands between you and white teeth, veneers have you covered. With veneers, we place thin porcelain shells over the fronts of your teeth, covering up discolorations and stains to give you the perfect smile makeover.

2. Veneers are the perfect coverup

Aside from whitening your teeth, these wafer-thin shells can also cover up other imperfections in your teeth, such as:

• Chips
• Gaps in between teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• A twisted tooth
• Unevenly worn teeth

We can even use veneers to give the teeth in your smile zone a little extra length if they’ve worn down over the years (or they’re just naturally on the small side).

3. A long-lasting solution

The porcelain we use for your veneers not only mimics the natural coloring of your teeth, but it’s also a tough material. If you take good care of your veneers, they can last a long time. To give you a better idea in terms of numbers, in one study, researchers found that porcelain veneer survival rates were in the 90 percentiles for 10 and 20 years and beyond.

Between the whitening power of dental veneers and their ability to give you teeth that appear to line up beautifully, it’s little wonder that dental veneers are so popular.
