Fact#1: Veneers can fix several dental imperfections

Porcelain veneers aren’t a one-trick pony. Want to enhance the shape, alignment, or color of your teeth? Or do you want to erase cracks, chips, or spaces between your teeth? Dental veneers can correct all these flaws with a single treatment.

Fact#2: Veneers don’t ruin your teeth

One common misconception about veneers is that they can damage your teeth. This stems from the fact that your teeth need to be shaved down. The truth is that we remove a tiny amount of the enamel, typically less than 0.5mm. Placing dental veneers is one of the most conservative procedures, preserving your natural teeth as much as possible.

Fact#3: The procedure is irreversible

Once we shave down the enamel, it will never grow back. This means your teeth must have veneers or other restorations for the rest of your life. If this bothers you, it’s wise to consider composite veneers or dental bonding because they involve little to no teeth preparation.

Fact#4: Your face determines the shape of your veneers

Your veneers may look similar, but each has a distinct shape and size. Several factors determine how your veneers look, but one of the main ones is the shape of your face. For instance, an oval-shaped face pairs well with square-shaped veneers. On the other hand, a square-shaped face balances well with softer, rounded veneers to help balance strong angles, though the final determination is made including extensive communication with you, the patient. Your Beverly Hills veneer dentist, Dr. Vidjak, considers several unique factors to create veneers that enhance your natural beauty, not change it.

Fact# 5: Veneers can last up to a decade

Don’t let their slim design fool you—dental veneers are impressively durable. Thanks to modern materials, they can withstand daily wear and tear and last on average 10-15 years with proper upkeep.

Fact# 6: Dental veneers look natural

So, you have decided to transform your smile with veneers. A question you may have is whether the results will look natural. Porcelain veneers mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Their translucent quality reflects light like real enamel, and they’re custom-made to match your tooth color, shape, and size for a seamless, life-like smile.
