Your smile is one of the first things others notice about you, but keeping it in tip top shape can be difficult. At PSC Family Dentistry, we understand that a lot of people suffer from discolored, malformed, chipped, and damaged teeth. Many of these issues though, can be solved with a simple solution: porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution to numerous dental issues. They can mend your smile and revive your confidence. They are an exceptionally good option for those looking to improve the look of their teeth and boost their confidence. But that’s not all! There are even more benefits to the holy grail of cosmetic dentistry than you may realize. Here are three things you didn’t know about porcelain veneers:

Advantages Over Other Procedures

When it comes to improving the look of a tooth, veneers are often a better option over crowns. Both require some remodeling of the tooth, but a veneer only needs removal of a small amount of tooth enamel to be attached. Crowns, on the other hand, require your dentist to reshape an entire tooth. While both have their benefits, it’s good to keep as much integrity of the original tooth structure as possible.

Teeth Strengthening Benefits

Veneers are meant to be used more for cosmetic purposes than anything, but they do offer some teeth strengthening benefits as well. If a tooth mildly cracked or chipped, a veneer can offer some additional stability to keep the trauma from progressing. It should be noted that a veneer, while able to offer some strengthening properties, is not the solution for extremely damaged or weakened teeth.

Improve Oral Hygiene

This is one of those psychological aspects of having a beautiful smile. Once a patient has received a cosmetic procedure to improve their smile, they want to do all they can to keep things looking their best. This typically leads to better oral hygiene practices in order to maintain the beautiful results for as long as possible.

While cosmetic reasons and the boost in confidence porcelain veneers can bring are excellent reasons to choose this dental procedure, there are other reasons this holy grail of cosmetic dentistry methods is such a great option. Whether you just want to improve the look of your smile, or if you’re considering some of the other benefits of porcelain veneers, know that they offer many benefits all around.
