Have you ever held back a smile because you felt too self-conscious about flaws in your teeth to let anyone see them? If so, your dentist can improve your self-confidence with porcelain veneers<\/a>. These thin, ceramic shells are color-matched to your natural hue and bonded to the front of your teeth to mask problems. They\u2019re a versatile solution that can improve your appearance by concealing one or more issues simultaneously, making them an incredibly popular treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re on the fence about getting veneers, keep reading to learn 4 facts about them that might sway your mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Fact #1: They\u2019re Considered Permanent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although they can be damaged or eventually worn down, veneers are considered permanent. This is partly because they\u2019re bonded to the front surface of your teeth and aren\u2019t intended to be removed. It\u2019s also worth noting that for them to line up flush against your gums, your dentist will need to remove a thin layer of enamel. This protective outer layer doesn\u2019t regenerate which means it\u2019s an irreversible change. You\u2019ll need to have veneers in place to protect your teeth ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #2: They\u2019re Resilient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When they\u2019re being created, veneers are coated with a final glaze that\u2019s durable enough to resist a certain amount of staining and breakage. This makes them strong enough to shield the underlying tooth which may already be structurally compromised, preventing potential future harm. That means they can upgrade your looks and support your oral health all at the same time. Plus, they\u2019re known to last 20+ years with the right care, making them an excellent long-term solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
