So, have you ever wondered why you and your senior friend’s teeth simply won’t either get or stay “dental office clean”? Well, most often you can hang this one on Mother Nature. Dentin naturally yellows over time. The enamel that covers the teeth gets thinner with age, which allows the dentin to show through. Foods and smoking also can stain teeth as people get older. Finally, chips or other injuries can discolor a tooth, especially when the pulp has been damaged.

Yes, of course tobacco, dark beverages like tea or coffee, and poor brushing habits that lead to tooth decay may cause teeth to turn brown. Can’t or unwilling to give up smokes or coffee? We’ve got your answer. Dental veneers will whiten up your smile and you will love it!

Dental veneers are aesthetic dental devices that are made up of porcelain and look exactly like a natural tooth. Many dentists have proven that veneers play a great role in cosmetic dentistry. It usually hides the stained and yellow portions of the teeth and also corrects some imperfections. In placing veneers, the dentist removes a small portion of the enamel so that it remains fixed to the tooth. The results will improve the looks and appearance of the teeth. The process of placing veneers on your teeth is generally painless and provides a dazzling white smile instantly.

The good point, veneers are custom-made as per patient’s requirement and recommendation from the dentist. When visiting a cosmetic dentist for the initial dental checkup, the dentist thoroughly examines the teeth and the affected areas and advises on the type of veneer that is best suited for you. There is no more worry since veneers will help you smile with complete confidence.
