What are dental veneers?
These custom-made tooth-colored shells cover the front side of your teeth and can improve the appearance of your smile and your confidence if you have unwanted flaws that you would like to correct.

What flaws can dental veneers improve?
Dental veneers may benefit your smile if you have flaws such as:

– Tooth discoloration
– Worn-down teeth
– Chips or breaks in the teeth
– Uneven or misaligned teeth
– Abnormally shaped teeth
– Unusual tooth gaps

How long can my dental veneers last?
With proper care, dental veneers typically endure 5 to 10 years, but will eventually need replacement so that you can keep your beautiful smile.

How do I care for dental veneers?
While there is no special care for dental veneers, you can help them stay bright longer by avoiding staining foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, or red wine. In addition, you should continue to brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash as you would for your natural teeth.
