You’ve noticed one of your front teeth is nicked on the side as well as becoming translucent, or perhaps you have a gap in your teeth or a tooth that doesn’t look quite right. Overzealous brushing makes tooth enamel wear out. Acidic foods and acid reflux also erode tooth enamel. Fortunately, veneers in Naperville are a solution.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are slips of thin, tooth-colored porcelain cut to fit a specific tooth. They are cemented onto the front of the tooth. Think of porcelain fingernails as an example. Porcelain veneers are permanent, though, so you’ll need to consider the benefits of porcelain veneers in Naperville.
Benefits Of Veneers
Teeth with small cosmetic problems like chips, cracks, or discoloration don’t need extraction anymore. Veneers can even hide small gaps between teeth.
Stained Enamel Is Whitened
Years of drinking cola, coffee, or tea, as well as smoking cigarettes, will stain teeth. Teeth can be cleaned and whitened, but let’s face it—it’s difficult to give up coffee or cigarettes. Veneers are a teeth-whitening answer that doesn’t stain and can last from 10 to 25 years.
Easy Maintenance
Porcelain veneers are not porous, so they don’t trap staining substances. They can be cleaned by brushing and flossing, just like your real teeth.
Misaligned Teeth
If your teeth are different sizes, crooked, or misaligned, then veneers could be the answer. A mold is taken of your mouth. The veneers are then made in a lab conforming to the size and shape of the teeth. They can be applied to hide differently sized or misaligned teeth.
Gum Tissue
A healthy mouth’s gums provide a secure nest for teeth that fit snugly into the gums. Another benefit of porcelain veneers is that gum tissue tolerates porcelain well, as opposed to some resin veneers.
