4 Ways Dental Veneers Can Improve Your Smile

4 Ways Dental Veneers Can Improve Your Smile

Enough can’t be said about the power of a great smile — you can put people at ease, you can engage, you can exude confidence — all without uttering a word. Of course, there's more to this smile than the state of your teeth, but they do take center stage so it’s worth spending some time to make sure they’re ready for the spotlight.

If there are a few imperfections that stand between you and a cosmetically captivating smile, it’s time to explore the power of dental veneers for bringing your smile to the next level. These effective cover-up tools clearly work well as, globally, veneers represent a nearly $5 billion market that’s expected to grow to nearly $7 billion by 2028.

There are many reasons why people around the world are flocking to dental veneers, and Dr. Roge Jacob, Dr. Magdalena Azzarelli, and the team here at Hillsdale Dental Care reviews a few of them here.

1. Dental veneers provide the perfect cover-up

Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells that we place over the fronts of your teeth in your smile zone — those teeth that are on full display when you smile. These shells can hide a number of minor issues, such as:

We can even use veneers to provide a little more length to your teeth if you feel they’re too small.

2. Dental veneers whiten smiles

Over time, stains can build up and your enamel can wear down. As a result, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep your pearly whites white, and even your professional cleanings with us can’t tackle the tough discolorations.

With dental veneers, we can give you amazingly white teeth. This is thanks to the porcelain materials we use, which mimic the coloring of natural teeth that haven’t succumbed to wear and tear and staining like yours have.

3. Dental veneers are easy to care for

Once we bond your dental veneers into place, you take care of your teeth as you usually do, which we hope includes:

And that’s it — there are no special cleaning instructions with dental veneers.

4. Dental veneers last

If you take good care of your porcelain veneers, they can last for decades. Studies have found that 91% of veneers last 20 years or more. Should any of your dental veneers fail, getting a replacement is easy — you simply come back and we’ll set you up with a new veneer.

From our own experience, we’ve found that our clients love the versatility of veneers, how easy they are to care for, and how well they work in creating beautiful smiles.
