If you aren’t happy with your smile’s appearance, it can have a significant impact on your mental and emotional well-being. Your teeth’s appearance can affect your social relationships, your willingness to participate in photos, and how well you perform at a customer-facing job.
At Dental Care of Rosewood, we apply dental veneers to deliver a smile that can help you feel more confident in your appearance. Our cosmetic dentists use industry-leading technology to deliver high-quality results at our dental office in Columbia, SC.
Advantages of Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are versatile treatments that can deliver a wide range of significant cosmetic improvements. Some of the benefits of dental veneers include:
- Correcting many tooth structure defects, including cracks, chips, misalignment, gaps between teeth, discolorations, deep stains, and more.
- Correcting short, worn, or irregularly shaped teeth.
- Being more resistant to stains than your natural teeth.
- Being as resistant to fracturing and chipping as your teeth.
- Being compatible with your oral tissue. There’s no risk of gum irritation.
- Transforming the look of your smile.
Types of Veneers
The two main types of dental veneers are porcelain and composite resin veneers.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are by far the most popular types of dental veneers. The material is strong and stain resistant. Most importantly, it looks incredibly similar to your real tooth.
They are slightly costlier overall and require more appointments. You’ll need to wear temporary veneers between appointments.
However, their longevity and lower maintenance cost make them an excellent choice over the long term.
Composite Resin Veneers
Composite resin veneers are easier to install. In many cases, you can get your veneers in a single visit. They are cheaper than porcelain, but they are more likely to stain and chip compared to porcelain.
Fixing damaged composite resin veneers is also easy.
Which should you choose? It all comes down to your budget and preferences. Porcelain veneers will cost more initially, but you shouldn’t need to spend money on repairs for a long time. They also have a natural tooth color.
Composite resin veneers will chip faster, and they are not as stain-resistant as porcelain. However, they are a more affordable solution in terms of upfront costs.
How to Maintain Your Veneers
There’s no difference between how you care for your dental veneers and how you care for your natural teeth. You can keep the veneers looking their best if you:
- Brush and floss at least twice a day
- Use toothpaste and mouthwash containing fluoride
- Always rinse your mouth after drinking coffee, wine, and other staining drinks
- Visit your dentist for cleaning and examination at least once a year
