If you’ve been dreaming of a brighter, more confident smile, tooth veneers could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments because they can fix lots of common smile issues with natural-looking, long-lasting results. Here’s what you can expect when you ask one of our dentists about the tooth veneer option.
치아 비니어는 무엇인가?
Tooth veneers are very thin shells made to fit over the front surface of your teeth. They’re usually made from either:
- Porcelain – which is strong, stain-resistant and naturally translucent
- Composite resin – which is applied directly and sculpted onto your teeth in the chair
Once bonded in place, the veneers look and feel like your own teeth – they just become more even, whiter and better-shaped.
What are veneers able to fix?
Veneers are incredibly versatile. They can help if you have:
- Discoloured or stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening
- Chipped, cracked or worn teeth
- 치아 사이의 틈
- Uneven, misshaped or slightly crooked teeth
- Teeth that are too small or irregular
These are all issues that can make you reluctant to smile – veneers help to give you a uniform, natural-looking smile that you’re proud of.
Why would I choose veneers?
Veneers are a popular choice because they offer a big improvement to your smile, without feeling artificial or overdone. They’re designed to enhance what you already have; creating a natural, balanced look that still feels like you.
One of the biggest reasons that people choose veneers is their natural look and feel. Each veneer is custom-made to match the shape, size and colour of your existing teeth, so they blend in seamlessly with your smile. 일단 자리를 잡으면, they look and feel just like real teeth – most people forget they even have them!
Veneers are also long-lasting. With good daily oral care and regular dental check-ups, they can last for many years, often 10 to 15 years or more. This makes them a reliable option for people wanting a lasting improvement rather than a short-term cosmetic fix.
And finally, veneers are a more conservative option compared to crowns. Instead of covering the entire tooth, veneers only sit on the front surface. This means less of your natural tooth needs to be reshaped, helping preserve as much of your original tooth structure as possible.
How do I care for my veneers?
Keeping your veneers looking great is easy. Just make sure you:
- Brush twice a day and floss daily
- Visit your dentist regularly
- Avoid biting very hard items (e.g., ice, hard candy)
- Limit stain-causing habits like heavy coffee, tea or tobacco (especially with composite veneers)
Unlike natural teeth, veneers don’t decay – but the edges where they meet your natural tooth still need good hygiene. Keep them maintained and your smile will stay strong!
Are veneers the right choice for me?
Most adults in good oral health can get veneers, but they may not be the first choice if you have active decay or gum disease, if you clench or grind your teeth heavily, or if have very worn or weakened teeth
During your appointment with us, your dentist will talk through all of these prevention options and make sure that veneers are the best fit for your smile goals before you get started.
Like many dental treatment, the cost of veneers will depend on a few factors. They include whether you choose porcelain or composite, how many teeth you need treated, the design, material and the complexity of your case.
