A person with an attractive smile is perceived as being young, confident, and successful in today’s digital world. It seems like stunning smiles are everywhere, but not everyone loves the way their teeth look. Don’t turn to dangerous dental trends. If you’re insecure about your teeth, you may want to join the “Veneer Check” TikTok challenge. Online influencers from around the world are sharing their journeys to picture-perfect smiles with veneers. You don’t have to be rich or famous to have the smile of your dreams. Here’s what you need to know if you’re ready to join the latest social media trend.
What are Veneers?
A veneer is a thin shell bonded to the front side of a tooth to improve its color, size, and shape. When applied to the teeth visible when smiling, veneers can provide drastic results. Contrary to what you might have heard, veneers aren’t the same as crowns, which cover the entire surface of a tooth above the gum line. Much of your tooth needs to be removed to allow dental crowns to fit over them. Since veneers only cover the front surfaces of teeth, the procedure is less invasive to preserve your natural smile. Not to mention, veneers are ultra-thin to fit your teeth like a glove for results that look natural.
Are Veneers Right for You?
Veneers rank among the most popular elective dental procedures because of their versatility. They can cover several aesthetic flaws using one minimally invasive treatment. You won’t have to spend time and money on multiple procedures when correcting common concerns, like chips, discoloration, or gaps between teeth. Therefore, veneers are also a cost-effective option to revamp your smile if you’re on a budget.
Many patients with healthy teeth and gums are candidates for veneers, but only a cosmetic dentist can determine if they are right for you. They’ll examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to create a personalized treatment plan.
Invest in a Beautiful Smile
Although every mouth and situation differs, veneers are a great investment because of their many benefits, including:
- Made of porcelain for natural-looking results.
- Thin to maintain more tooth structure.
- Durable with an average lifespan of 10+ years.
- Correct several issues simultaneously.
- Achieve results in as few as 2 appointments.
- Cost-effective method.
- Easy maintenance and care.
You can’t put a price tag on the confidence and quality of life you’ll enjoy by improving your smile. While you can’t always trust everything you see online, the benefits of veneers are true. Don’t turn to risky DIY methods. Instead, choose a professional to create a smile you’ll want to share with the world.
