Having a smile that you are thoroughly proud of is the best accessory that you can have. If you aren’t currently happy with your smile, our West Loop dentist is happy to provide you with a multitude of options to improve it. One way to do so is through veneers, a cosmetic treatment that can be placed in one appointment! In order to prepare your teeth for the veneers, we will roughen the surface of your natural teeth to create a secure surface for the veneers to bond to. The end result will be a new smile that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing!
Here are some specific improvements that veneers can bring to your smile.
Improve Yellowed Teeth
The potential for your teeth to become stains is never-ending. Coffee, tea, and wine are only a few examples of stain-causing substances, so if you are embarrassed by the color of your teeth, veneers are a great option for you.
Fill Unwanted Gaps
Whether you had braces when you were younger or you simply never took the measures to fill the gaps in your smile, don’t overlook the power of veneers. Our West Loop dentist can easily place veneers to help bridge the gap between your natural teeth.
Strengthen Tooth Enamel
Enamel naturally decreases over time and once it is gone, it can’t be restored. Veneers are an added layer of protection over your natural teeth and can help protect your enamel.
Change the Length of Your Teeth
If you excessively grind your teeth, they may have lost some of their natural lengths. Bruxism, the technical term for grinding teeth, could turn your teeth into small stubs. Instantly improve the appearance of your shortened teeth. However, it’s important to simultaneously look into a solution for grinding your teeth so you don’t wear out your veneers faster.
Improve the Appearance of Your Teeth
Some people have small ridges on the upper and lower front teeth referred to as mamelons. If you feel self-conscious about these ridges, veneers will instantly cover them.
There are a variety of situations in which our West Loop dentist recommends veneers. If you’re interested in exploring how veneers can benefit your smile and your self-confidence, please reach out to our team at Pure Dental Spa today!
