Things to Consider About Dental Veneers

Are you displeased with the appearance of your smile? Dental veneers in Newburgh, Indiana, may be for you! Dental veneers are thin shells that are custom made from tooth-colored materials to cover the front of your teeth and improve their appearance. Before you decide whether or not to have veneers placed, consider the pros and cons below:

Pros:
Dental veneers are made to look like natural teeth. Veneers can improve the appearance of teeth that are slightly crooked or irregularly shaped. Dental veneers can close small gaps in your smile. Veneers can restore the beauty of worn down or chipped teeth. A shade of veneer can be selected that makes your teeth look whiter. Porcelain dental veneers are stain resistant, so they will keep their beautiful color. Veneers are a more conservative approach to altering the appearance of your teeth than dental crowns. They don’t require as much tooth alteration before placement and they are still stronger and more visually appealing.

Cons:
The tooth enamel is shaped before veneers are placed, so the procedure is irreversible. Because the enamel is shaped, the teeth may become more sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. Your dental veneers may not exactly match the shade of your natural teeth. Also, you should be aware that once your veneers are in place, their color cannot be altered.
