READY TO SMILE AGAIN? 3 Things to Know Before Veneers
Veneers can last a long time. Thanks to advancements to dentistry, porcelain veneers can last between 10–20 years! But like your natural teeth, how long veneers last will depend entirely on how well you take care of them. Brushing, flossing, and regular checkups are still a must with veneers. After decades of wear and tear, there may come a time when you have to replace a chipped or worn veneer. Fortunately, you probably won’t have to replace all your veneers at once. Ideally, you want to protect and preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. But in some circumstances, veneers are the best option. If you’re wondering how much of a difference veneers can make on your smile, schedule your complimentary cosmetic consultation by calling 619-831-8832 (San Diego) or 858-842-5850 (Poway). This month only, patients who get veneers will also receive a free Glo Whitening treatment (valued at $500). Schedule your appointment before March 31, 2019 and start enjoying your new smile just in time for spring.
Are you unhappy with your smile? Do you cover your mouth when you laugh or keep your lips pressed together when someone holds up a camera? Are you embarrassed by your chipped, crooked, or yellowing teeth? Porcelain veneers may be the secret to transforming your embarrassing smile into something you love! If you’ve been thinking about getting veneers, there are three things you need to know first. Check your dentist’s before and afters. Your smile is a work of art, so make sure you like your dentist’s work. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for veneers, so every patient’s new smile will look a little different. That said, even dentists have their own unique styles of performing certain techniques. Take a look at past patients’ before-and-after shots to determine if you like their style and if you can see yourself enjoying your new smile 10 years later. Veneers can correct a lot of cosmetic issues. Since veneers were first introduced in the 1980s, they’ve been used to remedy any number of dental problems including:
• • • • •
Mildly crooked teeth Broken or chipped teeth Gaps between your teeth
Misshapen teeth
Permanently stained or discolored teeth
While veneers can correct a number of issues, they aren’t guaranteed to fix every problem. Veneers may not be right for patients who grind their teeth or are in need of severe orthodontics. Fortunately, A+ Family Dentistry offers a free complimentary cosmetic
consultation to help you determine if
veneers are the right option for your smile.
