Unattractive teeth can affect the confidence of many people, and as a result, they may not smile very often to avoid showing their teeth. Fortunately, there are several cosmetic dental procedures that can improve the appearance of your teeth. Here are three benefits of having a veneer procedure done on your teeth.
Cover Discolorations
Although surface stains can be removed from teeth through whitening procedures, teeth which have been damaged and bruised beneath the surface cannot be helped by whitening. Instead, their stained appearance needs to be covered to make the teeth appear white again. By applying veneers in Baltimore, MD, your teeth will appear white and clean again.
Change the Appearance of Teeth
Some people’s natural teeth may seem too small for their mouths because their gums cover most of their surfaces or because their teeth are smaller in size. Having veneers attached to teeth can make them appear bigger than they are, so they seem to be the correct size for your mouth. Veneers can also be used to cover cracked or broken teeth to correct their appearance as well.
Resist Staining
If you’re a smoker or a regular drinker of wine, coffee or soda, then your natural teeth can easily stain because the enamel that covers them is a porous surface. However, if you have veneers, they are more stain resistant, so you don’t have to give up your favorite habits. Like your natural teeth, you can brush them to clean them and you don’t need to worry about them becoming stained, no matter what you eat or drink.
If you want to improve the appearance of your teeth or cover up their flaws, contact the office of Dr. Lawrence Chen, DDS to discuss cosmetic dental options. He can examine your teeth and recommend the best procedure to correct their look, so that you feel confident enough to show them by smiling.
