Dental Trends of the Future: Leaving the Past Behind

If you have a big event or something special coming up and you damaged your front teeth, have the problem fixed quickly with porcelain veneers. Veneers are one of the fastest and easiest ways to take care of your oral cosmetic concerns, and they are a durable option as well. Here are a few reasons you should get porcelain veneers put on, so you are photo ready for the big day.

Instant Change

The dentist will file down the existing teeth that look unsightly, and they will put temporary veneers on that look like regular teeth. You get to wear these until your real veneers come in, usually for about 5 to 10 days. Once the real veneers arrive, your dental professional will bond them to the filed down the teeth, and they can then last for up to 10 years or longer if they are taken care of properly.

No Pain

Braces can be painful during the tightening process and as the teeth shift through the mouth. Replacing the teeth with permanent dental implants requires surgery, and the original teeth have to be extracted, and then fused with the bone. With veneers, you keep your original teeth, but the enamel is filed. Once the enamel is filed, the veneer is bonded with dental cement. This isn't going to cause severe pain like other procedures.

Affordable Cost

To replace a tooth entirely, you will most likely pay around $2,400 per tooth on average. The average cost for a porcelain veneer will commonly be less than $1,000 a tooth, depending where you live and what dental expert you go to when you have the work done. The cost will also vary depending on your insurance company and what they are willing to pay, depending on whether the procedure is strictly cosmetic or the teeth need to be replaced for other reasons.

The veneers will stay white over time, they won't wiggle or come loose while you speak, and they are going to look natural in your mouth as long as they are sized properly by your dental professional. Talk with a few different cosmetic professionals, like Dr. Paul Goodman, to see if porcelain veneers will be a quick and easy fix to the cosmetic dental concerns you have regarding your smile. The sooner you get a consultation the sooner you can get the smile that you have always wanted to see in them mirror.
