While cosmetic procedures aren’t usually designed to protect the smile or keep them from falling out, dental veneers Toronto can do a little more than the normal. They are thin shells of ceramic or porcelain that are adhered to the front of the tooth. In most cases, a light filing of the tooth is needed for abrasion, so the veneer sticks well, and it is bonded into place.
Hide Imperfections
Whether you’ve got a recurring or severe stain or have slight crookedness to one or multiple teeth, a veneer is a perfect way to hide these minor imperfections. While they can’t straighten teeth, they can hide the minor mistake in the smile so that it looks better. Along with such, a veneer can be used to hide a small tooth. They’re made using a mold of the teeth. They are then sized and proportioned to match the rest of the teeth, even down to the color.
Protection
While the veneer isn’t designed for protection, it can help support that tooth. If you have any misalignment issues or something else wrong with the tooth, you could find that more pressure is put on that particular tooth or the surrounding teeth. Having a veneer to hide the imperfection also strengthens that tooth slightly, giving you the ability to eat without fear.
Durability
While composite veneers require much more maintenance caused by chips, porcelain is highly durable and can last up to 25 years with normal oral hygiene and routine check-ups/cleanings. Of course, your dentist may recommend one material over another, but it might be best to ask about porcelain.
