No need to suffer insecurities with bad teeth anymore, for porcelain veneers can be used to fix most types of tooth problems. From misshapen molars to stained enamels, porcelain veneers will get your teeth pearly and white again. Getting veneers isn’t like going for a manicure or a facial, for those made of porcelain can last as long as ten years or even twenty-five years, which means you need to make sure that your dentist is trustworthy and knows his craft well.
Porcelain veneers cost a lot, no less than three hundred dollars per tooth, and celebrity dentists can charge you up to a thousand dollars or more per tooth! However, not all good dentists will charge you a lot of money for high quality porcelain veneers. If your own dentist doesn’t do porcelain veneers, ask him whether it would be a good idea for you to get them and recommendations on other dentists who do make veneers. Remember that not every celebrity doctor or dentist you read about on the paper will have the time or even the experience to give you the best and they will almost certainly charge you more too, so go for certified practitioners rather than famous reputations.
Getting well-made veneers that fit your teeth and mouth just right is important because porcelain veneers last a long time. Imagine having to suffer too-long veneers that won’t let you close your mouth properly for as long as fifteen years. A good dentist will take careful measure of each individual tooth size and remove just the right amount of enamel to avoid tooth sensitivity as much as possible and still make your veneer look natural and fit well.
There are people who play around with tooth veneers as if getting them is as simple as putting on makeup or getting a haircut. But it can take as much as three hours to get your teeth honed and measured for porcelain veneers, and in the meantime you’ll have sensitive teeth with freshly removed enamel that you’ll have to cover and protect with temporary veneers. A few days later, once your porcelain veneers are ready, the temporary ones are removed and the porcelain veneers bonded into place. It’s definitely more painful, expensive and time-consuming than a haircut, so be careful when deciding to get porcelain veneers or not, and choose experienced and credited dentists to give you the best pearly whites you deserve.
