Why Veneers Are Trending This Year

WHAT MAKES THEM WORTH THE HYPE? Veneers Are the Tooth Trend of the Year

Some celebrities, like the singer-songwriter Jewel, are famous for their less-than-perfect teeth. But most stars have faultlessly white, straight smiles — and now, one of their favorite methods for getting those smiles is trending. The not-so-secret secret is simple: veneers. These wonders of cosmetic dentistry grace the mouths of hundreds of celebrities, including Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Zac Efron, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and George Clooney. They’re the perfect fix for chipped, stained, or gap-ridden teeth. And right now, they’re having a moment.

Because they’re beloved by celebrities, veneers have a pricey reputation, and it’s true that they cost more than a simple whitening treatment. However, veneers are less expensive than braces. They’re also highly customizable, so you can make the cost fit your budget. You can choose whether you want veneers on only your upper front teeth, or if you’d rather make your whole mouth sparkle.

If you want to look like a Hollywood celebrity, give yourself (or your kids) a boost on social media, or simply find your superstar confidence, veneers could be the perfect trend to jump on for 2021.

But what exactly are veneers, and can you afford to jump on the bandwagon?
