Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are custom made to fit over teeth, providing a natural, attractive look. Veneers are cemented to the front surfaces of your natural teeth. How ever, you'll need to carefully weigh the pros and cons of the procedure before you decide to get them.

Pros:

Veneers are an easy way to solve a variety of physical and aesthetic problems in just few days time giving long lasting excellent results. They can be used to fix minor cosmetic problems such as chipped, misaligned, worn down, uneven or abnormally spaced teeth.

Stained enamel can be bleached at home or by your dentist, but it can become stained again. If you're looking for an easier way to whiten your smile for good, dental veneers may be a good fit for you. Veneers are largely stain-resistant, so you won't have to worry about discoloration or needing to have your veneers whitened.

Cons:

Veneers are considered permanent because your dentist needs to change the structure of your natural teeth to properly place them. In this way, the outer layer of your enamel may be removed to make room.

Some people experience an increase in tooth sensitivity after getting veneers to hot or cold temperatures for the first few days after your procedure, but usually it goes away. Tooth sensitivity can be managed with right dental products.

Make an appointment with your dentist to find out if dental veneers are a fitting solution for you.
