If you’ve been considering veneers but feel guilty because they’re a cosmetic procedure, it’s time to let those feelings go. Believe it or not, they aren’t just for looks. They can be very beneficial to your health, too!
So, get off the fence! Here’s why veneers can have many surprise benefits you may not have realized.
They Save You Money
Veneers are a significant investment in your smile, however did you know they can actually save you money? It’s true! If you have teeth that are crowded, misshapen, too short, or chipped, veneers can easily correct these issues, all the while providing you with a beautiful, stain-resistant smile. No need for multiple procedures to correct each issue individually!
They Improve Your Mental Health
Feeling down about your appearance can damage your mental health. When you improve your smile with veneers, you’ll benefit from a boost of confidence that can increase your self-esteem and elevate your mood!
They Protect Your Oral Health
While you can still get cavities and gum disease with veneers, because they are attached to your teeth, they can help protect the surface from sensitivity and some cavities, too.
They Let You Enjoy the Foods You Love
Are you a coffee drinker? Do you love cola? Are you a red wine aficionado? If you’ve been avoiding these dark-colored beverages or other staining foods for fear of darkening your teeth, veneers are a great solution. Not only can they cover previous stains, but they are also stain resistant, so you can eat what you like and as long as you care for your teeth by brushing, flossing, and seeing the dentist.
There’s No Downtime
Veneers typically take just a few hours to apply. You’ll need at least two appointments: one to remove a small layer of enamel and make impressions of your teeth, and another to have your new veneers attached. The entire process is painless (you might be a little sore after the enamel reduction) and you can go about your day after each appointment with no need for downtime. Best of all, you can begin using your teeth (and showing them off!) immediately after they’re applied.
Remember, an investment in your teeth is an investment in yourself, and you should never feel guilty about self-care. Speak to your dentist today about how you can improve your appearance and your overall wellbeing with the help of veneers.
