Veneers
There's no reason to put up with
gaps in your teeth or with teeth
that are stained, badly shaped
or crooked. Today a veneer
placed on top of your teeth can
correct nature's mistake or the
results of an injury and help
you have a beautiful smile.
Veneers are thin, custom-made
shells crafted of tooth-colored
materials designed to cover the
front side of teeth. They're
made by a dental technician,
usually in a dental lab, working
from a model provided by your
dentist.
You should know that this is
usually an irreversible process,
because it's necessary to remove
a small amount of enamel from
your teeth to accommodate the
shell.
Your dentist may recommend that
you avoid some foods and
beverages that may stain or
discolor your veneers such as
coffee, tea or red wine.
Sometimes a veneer might chip or
fracture. But for many people
the results are more than worth
it.
If you have any questions about
veneers ask your dentist.
