Veneers: The Secret to a Vacation-Ready Smile

For many of us, our highly anticipated vacation plans were postponed last year as the novel COVID-19 virus spread into a global pandemic. Fortunately, restrictions are being lifted and life is beginning to return back to normal just in time for summer. Whether you’re planning to spend your time off on a sandy beach in Hawaii, to visit family, or to do a little staycation, you don’t want dental flaws like unsightly chips and pigmented discoloration to hold you back from truly enjoying your vacation. That’s where veneers come in! Keep reading to learn all about this smile-transforming solution.

How Veneers Can Make Your Smile Goals a Reality

For decades, veneers have been the go-to smile-transforming cosmetic treatment. But what exactly are they? At the core, they are thin sheaths of porcelain that adhere to the front-facing portion of your teeth, effectively concealing a variety of dental flaws, such as:

• Pigmented discoloration
• Chips and cracks
• Minor misalignment
• Spaced-out teeth
• Misshaped teeth

How Long Does It Take to Get Veneers?

One of the many reasons patients love veneers is because the entire process can be completed in as little as two visits! After your initial consultation (where your cosmetic dentist will ensure you are a candidate by conducting an oral exam and learning all about your smile goals), your dental team will get to work prepping your teeth and taking impressions for the lab artisans. If needed, they will provide you with a temporary set of veneers, which will allow you to give them a “test drive.” Once your final set is ready, you will return for the placement. From there, your new and improved smile will be good to go!

4 Priceless Benefits of Veneers

From teeth whitening to dental bonding, there are numerous cosmetic dental treatments available to get your smile ready for summer. So, why veneers? Well, this smile-enhancing solution comes with multiple unique benefits, including:

• Versatility – Veneers can be used to conduct a complete smile makeover or to simply correct one tooth. They also can address multiple aesthetic flaws, from minor cracks to severe discoloration.
• Quick – As mentioned above, the entire process of getting veneers can be completed in just two visits.
• Longevity – Unlike other cosmetic dental treatments, veneers can last for 20+ years with proper care.
