The idea of someone, even your friend, posting pictures of your chipped, gapped, or stained teeth for all to see fills you with dread. Fortunately, your dentist has a solution \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">veneers<\/a> in Oklahoma City. These custom restorations can be placed over your problem teeth to give you an amazing smile. Keep reading this post to learn more about how veneers can help you. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veneers are thin sheaths that can be placed over the front\nsurfaces of your teeth to instantly correct cosmetic flaws. They can be made of\ndental porcelain or composite resin, both of which are excellent material for dental\nrestorations, since they are able to mimic natural tooth enamel, even down to\nthe way they reflect light. Each veneer is custom-made to naturally blend into\nyour smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is a Good Candidate for Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have any of the following aesthetic imperfections in\nyour smile, veneers may be right for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Chips, cracks, or fractures <\/li><li>Stains or discoloration <\/li><li>Slightly misaligned teeth <\/li><li>Minor gaps in between your teeth <\/li><li>Worn-down or misshapen teeth <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other than that, the only requirement is that your teeth are\nfree of infection. This means if you have cavities or gum disease, your dentist\nwill have to address those issues before placing veneers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Porcelain Veneers Over Composite Veneers <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porcelain veneers differ from composite ones in a few ways. For\none, composite veneers are made of a resin which is directly bonded to the\ntooth and hardened with a curing light. Although they are generally less expensive\nthan porcelain, consider the fact that porcelain veneers have a longer lifespan\non average and are incredibly durable. Many dentists also believe that\nporcelain looks slightly more lifelike than composite resin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, whichever option you choose is up to you and\nyour dentist in OKC. It may depend on cost, but keep in mind that since\nporcelain lasts longer, you\u2019ll have to get it replaced far less often over the course\nof your life than you would with composite resin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Your Veneers Last<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Believe it or not, veneers of any kind don\u2019t require any\nspecial care beyond what you would do for your natural teeth. Simply brush and\nfloss them as normal, wear a mouthguard if you play sports or a nightguard if\nyou grind your teeth, and visit your dentist for checkups and cleanings every\nsix months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter which type of veneer you get, it can drastically\ntransform your smile and even your quality of life. Ask your dentist which type\nwould be better for your smile today! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/meet-dr-holman.html\">Dr. Colin\nHolman<\/a> earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of\nOklahoma College of Dentistry.
