If you start talking
to friends or looking online for more information about improving your smile,
chances are you will cross paths with veneers. While you may know that porcelain veneers offer
patients a dramatic transformation that leads to a stunning smile, you may
not have a solid grasp on the details. In these cases, we find that patients
often come to us with a mind full of myths that they have picked up from some
not-so-reliable sources. To set your heart at rest and give you the confidence
to say yes to a more beautiful smile, we have decided to debunk the following
common myths associated with this cosmetic treatment:
Myth: Your Smile Will Look Artificial
Truth: Your smile
will look natural. This is partly due to the fact that we will work one-on-one
with you to create veneers that beautifully complement your other facial
features. The most important fact? Just like your teeth are created out of
translucent tissue layers, veneers are created out of thin layers of
translucent porcelain. The final effect looks just like a natural tooth for a
believable, gorgeous finish.
Myth: Veneers Won’t Last Very Long
Truth: When you hear
the word “porcelain” or “ceramic” you probably equate these terms with
fragility. Fortunately, veneers may last quite a long time because of their
durability. Care for them like your own teeth. Just don’t use abrasive
toothpaste. You can even eat and drink what you would like – veneers have
stain-resisting power.
Myth: Veneers Are Not Cost-Effective
Truth: Porcelain
veneers often require a greater initial investment compared to other cosmetic
treatments. However, they do the work of several treatments, such as teeth
whitening, dental bonding, and orthodontics. They also allow you to improve the
size and shape of your teeth, which you may not achieve with other solutions. Even
better? They provide fixed, long-lasting improvement, which means they offer a
lasting, cost-effective solution.
