Veneers have been around as long as Hollywood has been a fixture in Southern California.
In fact, veneers got their start on Hollywood sets when silent film stars wanted specialty teeth to resemble monsters. While a dentist in Hollywood made specialty veneers for monster movies, movie stars increasingly came to him to make veneers to make their teeth look camera-ready.
However, just because veneers were originally intended for Hollywood stars does not mean you should not consider them. Here are examples of people who might benefit from veneers.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin coverings for your teeth. They are a single cover made of porcelain or composite resin that fits directly over your upper teeth, your lower teeth, or all of your teeth. Because they are thin, they do not impede your eating, speaking, or drinking. When you get veneers, you immediately whiten, straighten, and equally space all of your teeth for a wonderfully perfect smile. If you take care of them, veneers can last for decades.
Veneers Can Help People With Imperfect Teeth
It is difficult for adults to keep picture-perfect teeth throughout their lives because we damage our teeth frequently with cavities, hard nuts, or injuries. Adults can break, chip, or crack a tooth quite easily. If you only have one tooth that is cracked or chipped, our dentist may be able to fix the tooth with a crown that covers and protects a single tooth.
However, what if you have several damaged teeth? Veneers are perfect for fixing all of them at once. Because veneers cover all of the teeth in your jaw, you will no longer have to worry about fixing one tooth at a time. Veneers are also great for people who have protruding teeth, imperfectly spaced teeth, and even discolored teeth. In one or two visits, our dentist can change your smile from less than adequate to amazingly brilliant.
