Uneven and discolored teeth are quite common, but that doesn’t change how much these flaws can affect your confidence.
Fortunately, there’s a solution that can transform your smile and boost your self-esteem: dental veneers. At Chicago Beautiful Smiles, we provide consultations that allow you to see how veneers can improve your smile.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth in a short amount of time.
Veneers can be life-changing. For those who feel insecure about their teeth, veneers provide a durable yet aesthetically pleasing solution.
People who might want to pursue veneers include:
- Stained or discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening treatments
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Misaligned, uneven, or oversized teeth
- Gaps between teeth
Types Of Dental Veneers
Currently, there are two different materials used to produce dental veneers: porcelain and composite resin. Each has its own set of benefits and considerations:
- Porcelain Veneers
- Benefits: Highly durable, natural-looking, stain-resistant.
- Cons: Typically more expensive, require removal of some tooth enamel.
- Composite Resin Veneers
- Benefits: Less expensive, quicker to apply, minimal enamel removal.
- Cons: Less durable, more prone to staining compared to porcelain.
Choosing the right type of veneer depends on your needs and dental care preferences. People will choose porcelain veneers for their durability and natural-looking appearance. Composite, resin veneers offer a more affordable and less invasive option.
Materials We Use
At Chicago Beautiful Smiles, we use high-quality materials to ensure your veneers are durable and aesthetically pleasing. Our porcelain veneers are made of premium ceramic. They will mimic the appearance and texture of natural teeth.
We also use high-quality bonding materials for strong and attractive composite resin veneers. If you wish to pursue veneers with composite materials instead of porcelain, please mention this during your consultation.
Who Is Eligible For Veneers
Ideal candidates for veneers typically:
- Have good overall oral health
- Do not suffer from gum disease or significant tooth decay
- Have sufficient tooth enamel to support the veneers
- Want to correct cosmetic imperfections rather than severe structural issues
- Are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits
Veneers are a permanent solution. If you’re interested in seeing the final results of veneers sooner rather than later, ask our dentist about a smile makeover. During this service, temporary veneers will be crafted and placed over your current smile. You’ll get a preview of how the permanent veneers will appear.
