Veneers Southaven, MS Dental veneers are an increasingly popular cosmetic dental treatment for teeth that are stained, discolored, chipped, cracked, or unevenly spaced in your mouth. Veneers are thin layers of porcelain or resin composite that are custom-made to cover the front surface of your teeth. Our team at Magnolia Family Dental can tell you more about the benefits of getting veneers and help determine if they are right for you. What Are Veneers?Veneers are very thin covers for the front of your teeth that are designed to match the shape and shade of your teeth. Porcelain and composite veneers are permanent, while snap-on veneers are temporary. Veneers not only help whiten your smile, but they also help even out teeth that are misplaced or overcrowded in your mouth. How Do Veneers Work?The process of getting veneers is easy and relatively fast. We start by doing a full dental examination and taking x-rays of your mouth to determine where the veneers should be placed and what type of veneers will work best for you. Next, we remove a small amount of enamel and take a putty impression or scan of your teeth. The impression or scan is then sent to a dental laboratory that uses it to make your veneers. Temporary veneers are placed over your teeth until the permanent veneers are ready. Once the permanent veneers are fitted in your mouth, we bond them permanently to your teeth. Veneers generally last seven to 15 years, after which time they need to be replaced. Scheduling regular dental checkups and maintaining good oral hygiene are good ways to care for your veneers after they are placed. Benefits of VeneersGetting dental veneers is a minimally invasive process that helps boost self-confidence by improving your smile. Dental veneers are durable and easy to care for. They are also stain-resistant, though drinks like coffee or wine can stain them the same way they can stain your teeth. Porcelain veneers are more stain-resistant than composite veneers. Veneers are always custom-made, so you can be assured they will be the perfect fit for your mouth and your smile. They are stronger than dental crowns and do not require as much shaping of your teeth. Veneers are also popular because they do not need any special care after they are placed on your teeth. Who Is a Good Candidate for Veneers?You may be a good candidate for veneers if your teeth are chipped or discolored, if you have gaps between your teeth that you want to eliminate, or if you have teeth that are situated unevenly in your mouth. You may also be a good candidate if teeth whitening was not an effective solution to restore your teeth to their natural color. If you are unsure about getting permanent veneers, you might consider snap-on veneers. Snap-on veneers are temporary and a good choice if you are concerned with the risks of getting permanent veneers. These risks include the fact that the procedure cannot be undone, and the color cannot be changed after they are placed.
