5 Ways Dental Veneers Can Dramatically Improve Your Smile
Ever wish you had one of those flawless celebrity smiles. You can. Hollywood’s best-kept secret: Dental veneers. And they can be yours with help from Cheng H. Tai, DDS, located in the mid-town west neighborhood of New York City.
Veneers are ultra-thin shells permanently affixed to the front of your natural teeth that can camouflage all sorts of issues, from chips to discoloration.
Custom-contoured and tinted from porcelain, veneers seamlessly blend with your natural teeth. Nobody will discern the difference.
Dr. Tai has transformed countless smiles with dental veneers. In this blog, he breaks down the most popular reasons patients at his midtown New York City choose them.
1. Slightly crooked or overlapping teeth
Slightly overlapping or crooked teeth can be fixed with veneers. Sometimes, crooked teeth may seem too inconsequential for orthodontics but are just annoying enough to make you self-conscious. Veneers offer a perfect smile.
2. Chipped or cracked teeth
Cracked or chipped teeth draw attention to your smile, and not in a good way. Whether you were involved in a sports injury or an accident, you don’t have to keep a permanent memento from the incident. Simply cover it up with veneers.
3. Gapped teeth
When there’s usual spacing between teeth, it creates an awkward “picket fence” look. Covering up gapped teeth restores your confidence and keeps you smiling.
4. Oddly sized or misshapen teeth
Oddly sized or misshapen teeth can ruin the aesthetics of your smile. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with these flaws. Veneers are so natural-looking that people don’t know you’ve had cosmetic dentistry treatments. Veneers can also improve the appearance of a “gummy smile.”
5. Discolored teeth resistant to whitening
Professional teeth whitening works wonders. But for stubborn or intrinsic stains that don’t respond to whitening treatment, veneers can deliver a gleaming bright smile.
Veneers can be applied to one tooth or multiple teeth. The process is pain-free and usually takes just three office visits.
A bonus: Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains, which can help you maintain a bright smile even if you drink coffee, tea, or other staining beverages.
They are also highly durable and can last an average of 15 years with proper oral hygiene.
