Interested in getting a smile transformation? Dental veneers – dental tooth coverings – may be the best option for you! A dentist in Lafayette, CA can evaluate your smile and create a unique and customized plan to give you your best smile yet.

 

What Are Veneers?

Dental veneers may be used to correct teeth discoloration, chipped teeth, tooth gaps, or crooked teeth. Dental veneers can be made from thin porcelain or composite resin materials and can look very natural when properly placed. Porcelain veneers are often stronger and thinner than their resin counterparts. This means that a dentist in Lafayette, CA can place the veneers with minimal (if any) removal of the original tooth structure, keeping your original tooth in-tact and maintaining your oral health. This also eliminates the need for invasive surgery or tooth replacement.

 

Maintain Your Veneers

Your veneers can offer a lifetime of support for your new beautiful smile. Remembering a few easy tips will help extend the life of your veneers and your smile.

  • Be sure to maintain proper oral hygiene. Regularly visiting a dentist in Lafayette, CA will help keep your teeth healthy and increase the longevity of your veneers. Since your teeth are the foundation, it is very important to keep them healthy and clean.
  • Change up your toothpaste. Some toothpastes are highly acidic and can increase the chances of your veneers breaking down over time. Be sure to choose an effective, yet gentle toothpaste that will keep your teeth clean.
  • Maintain healthy habits. Making sure you eat healthy and maintain healthy daily habits will not only ensure your veneers stay in their best shape but will also help your overall health and wellness.
