Many people are excellent candidates for porcelain veneers. As you consider whether you’re interested in pursuing this cosmetic dentistry option, or waiting for your consultation with your NYC cosmetic dentist to discuss veneers and find out if you’re a good candidate, there are several factors to consider.
You Want a Natural-Looking Smile
When you work with an experienced NYC cosmetic dentist who understands your smile goals, you will get a natural-looking smile makeover. Veneers do amazing, powerful things to teeth, concealing every unwanted feature and beautifying your appearance. Above all, the results look like teeth you were born with and were meant to have.
You Are Hoping for Non-Invasive Smile Makeover
Some veneers do require the removal of some tooth enamel to make room for the porcelain shields, but there are many people who are good candidates for prepless veneers. This cosmetic dentistry solution doesn’t require more than a light sanding and cleaning of teeth to make sure the super-thin veneers fit properly and permanently without altering the natural teeth underneath.
Time Is of the Essence
Depending on when you want your smile makeover and if you’re on a deadline to look just right for a wedding, interview, vacation, audition, or otherwise, it’s important to know that porcelain veneers usually take two visits to your dentist to complete. This timeline depends, of course, on your oral health and the speed at which you decide on the components of your veneers.
You Can Be Patient
If you have any cavities or gum disease, these problems need to be corrected before veneers can be applied. It’s essential that the veneers be placed on a strong, healthy foundation so they last longer and do the work they’re meant to do. Your cosmetic dentist will not put veneers in place until your teeth are healthy. This might make your smile makeover take longer, but it’s worth the wait. So too is undergoing accompanying treatments like a laser gum lift which reveals more tooth enamel and contributes to a bigger, more beautiful smile when paired with veneers.
You Want to Look Younger
Many people are in search of the fountain of youth, and some of them are surprised to discover it with the help of their dentist. Porcelain veneers create smiles that are so flawless they make you look like the best version of yourself – younger, healthier, and happier. That’s about as perfect as a smile makeover can get.
You Are Somebody
It’s easy to assume that celebrities and VIPs are the only people who look “right” with veneers, but you deserve to have a smile you’re proud of too that looks amazing, no matter how you get there. Not everyone has super-smile DNA, which means you must make some tweaks to get the kind of teeth you want – that might mean investing in porcelain veneers or other aesthetic dental treatments like porcelain crowns or teeth whitening.
