Porcelain perfection: 5 awesome benefits of porcelain veneers

Many people porcelain veneers to regain their smile after cracks, discolouration or small chips. If your smile is making you frown, perhaps your dentist could help win it back for you. 

This fantastic treatment is designed to reinvigorate the tooth’s aesthetic, giving it a bright, natural look that many recipients say does wonders for their self-confidence. 

Your highly skilled and experienced dentist will help you explore various cosmetic dentistry options, including that of porcelain veneers. It is a non-invasive treatment and one that often doesn’t require any anaesthetic to perform, furthering its popularity amongst individuals who may otherwise want to avoid receiving cosmetic dentistry treatment. 

Let’s take a closer look at why they can help you regain confidence in your smile: 

1. They can cover cracks, chips & discolouration 

This cosmetic treatment is designed to treat small dentistry issues that whilst not providing too much (or any) pain, are frustrating for their aesthetic. Your dentist will be able to help you decide if this treatment is right for you or if there is something more suitable (especially if the tooth is vulnerable to further damage). 

2. They look beautifully natural 

This awesome treatment is so seamless that no one will even know you have had it! The porcelain variety looks and feels completely natural, as they incorporate advanced technology to mimic that of real, pearly white teeth. 

Recipients often speak of how comfortable they feel with the knowledge that the treatment looks and feels real. They say it helps them to feel more confident in their smile and that they often forget that they have them in the first place! 

3. The treatment requires minimal enamel removal 

You can’t get your teeth enamel back, so thankfully having porcelain veneers installed won’t take much off at all. When it comes to this treatment, it is necessary to remove some of the enamel to ensure that the tooth/teeth don’t look large and crowded. 

And, whereas other treatments like dental crowns require more enamel removal to ensure that they can be properly attached, this treatment is non-invasive and you may not even require anaesthesia to receive it! 

4. They can prevent ongoing tooth discolouration 

Tooth discolouration is one of the main reasons people receive this treatment, and dental veneers - like other treatments - require ongoing maintenance to ensure they are always working at full capacity. Fortunately, this encourages recipients to practise ongoing dental care to ensure that they last their full lifetime. 

This treatment is expected to last up to 10 years, and by practising proper dental care you can be sure that there is a very good chance your treatment will reach that time! 

5. They can make you confident in your smile 

At the end of the day, the most important reason for receiving dental veneers is to regain some of that confidence in your smile that might have been lost. There are numerous reasons why people receive this treatment: discoloration, cracks or small chips, but whatever the reason it is it is a good idea to deal with it if it is continuing to hinder your self-confidence. 

They are designed to provide a thin, natural-looking coat of porcelain that could potentially take your smile from one that you can’t stand to one that you can be super proud to show off. 

If this is your primary reason for receiving this cosmetic dentistry treatment then it certainly is something that could be ideal for you.
