Achieving the most perfect smile that you're capable of can be time-consuming, difficult, expensive, and even painful. If your teeth have a lot of problems, you could be looking at years of straightening, reshaping, and whitening to get the look you want. If you don't want to spend all that time, you'll be glad to know that there's an alternative that can do it all in just a couple visits to your dentist's office. Read on to discover how veneers are one of the best tools to correct multiple problems with smiles.

What are Veneers?

Veneers are a thin piece of porcelain that are attached to the front of your teeth. They are simply attached with professional-level adhesive, so your teeth don't need to be drilled or otherwise damaged in order to have them put in place. As an bonus, veneers can typically be installed in just two visits to your dentist's office - one visit to take measurements of your smile and to select the size and color of your veneers, and the second to have them actually installed.

Whiteness

One of the things that veneers do well is to give you the look of a perfectly white smile. Since the veneers can be chosen from a wide variety of white shades, you can select one that works best for your complexion. Whether you're looking for a bleached-like bright white smile or a more subtle one, veneers can give you the look without exposing your teeth to potentially harmful whitening agents.

Straightness

Veneers can be shaped to give you a perfect-looking smile. When your dentist takes measurements of your smile, they take into account the crookedness of your teeth. If you have overlapping or over-crowded teeth, they'll make a note of that. Your finished set of veneers will be shaped so that they line up perfectly with one another even though the teeth they're sitting on top of aren't level themselves. As a result, you can achieve the look of a perfectly straight smile without braces.

Evenness

Lastly, veneers can make all of your teeth look level and even with one another. If you have chipped teeth or some have worn away over the years and become shortened, veneers can quickly and easily make them look like they're perfectly even with one another again.

Veneers are an easy way to get the corrected, perfect smile you're looking for. If you don't want to spend years correcting every facet of your teeth, look to veneers to get the look without spending all that time. Contact a company like Sedation Dentistry Center for more information and assistance.
