Having a beautiful smile doesn’t just affect the way you look; it affects your confidence.
Placed on the surfaces of your teeth, custom-made dental veneers are a versatile, time-tested method for correcting an array of cosmetic concerns so you can enjoy a beautiful smile without invasive, complex treatments.
Abir Faraj, DDS, is a leading provider of state-of-the-art dental veneers, helping patients at Novi Family Dentistry in Novi, Michigan, enjoy great-looking smiles in just a couple of visits. Here, learn how veneers can dramatically improve five of the most common smile flaws.
Gaps can take a toll on your smile aesthetics. Even if your teeth are white and straight, gaps between them can make your smile look worn and uncared for. At the same time, extra space between your teeth provides areas for plaque, tartar, and bacteria to collect, increasing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Dental veneers can span small gaps between teeth, making your smile look more aligned and balanced. Closing those gaps also makes it harder for bacteria to grow and multiply, meaning your risk of future decay and infections is reduced.
Professional teeth whitening treatments are a popular choice for people who want to erase years of stains and yellowing. However, even though professional treatments are very effective, they can’t eliminate really deep stains that extend far below the tooth surface. This includes stains caused by trauma or damage to your tooth pulp or nerves.
Because they rest on the surface of your tooth, veneers provide excellent coverage for even dark or gray stains that don’t respond to whitening treatments. Dr. Faraj tints your veneers to match your surrounding teeth, blending beautifully to give you a dazzlingly natural-looking smile.
Teeth are strong. Tooth enamel is the strongest substance in your body, even more so than bone. Still, while your teeth are durable, they’re not immune to damage, and plenty of people wind up with cracks and chips that detract from their smile and increase the risk of additional damage.
Veneers help undo the cosmetic effects of chips and cracks, helping teeth look whole and healthy again. Each veneer is expertly crafted to match your tooth’s original shape, covering cracks and chips and strengthening your tooth.
Symmetry and balance play major roles in smile aesthetics, and if you have teeth that appear too small or teeth of varying sizes, it can directly impact these key factors.
Dental veneers are an ideal solution for teeth that look too small for your smile and vary in size and shape. They’re also a great way to restore teeth that have worn down over time, helping your smile look more youthful and attractive.
When most people think of improving the appearance of crooked teeth, they think of braces or aligners. It’s true, these options improve poor alignment by moving your teeth into their proper positions.
Of course, not everyone wants to make the financial and time commitments associated with orthodontic treatment, particularly if the alignment concerns are relatively minor. Veneers provide a cosmetic alternative, covering tooth surfaces so your teeth appear straighter without undergoing orthodontic treatment.
That said, it’s important to note that veneers don’t correct your tooth position. If your alignment issues are severe or they’re causing bite-related problems, orthodontics is the go-to treatment to improve your smile and bite balance.
Veneers provide a versatile, beautiful, natural-looking solution for an array of dental issues, without invasive surgery or prolonged treatment regimens.
