Your cosmetic\ndentist in West Mobile can place these shells over your teeth to hide pretty\nmuch any imperfection and give you the smile of your dreams. But how can you\nmake sure they stay in good condition? Keep reading below to learn more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Veneers Made Of?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental veneers used to be made of composite resin, a\nmaterial very similar to what is used to fill cavities. However, in recent\nyears, porcelain has become the material of choice, for a few reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Porcelain reflects light more like a natural\ntooth<\/li><li>Porcelain is more resistant to stains <\/li><li>Veneers are thinner, meaning less enamel needs\nto be removed <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Veneers Stick to Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, your dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from\nthe front surfaces of your teeth to make room for the veneers. This is a lot\nless invasive than getting crowns or bridges, as it requires less enamel\nremoval. Then your dentist will create impressions of your bite, and place\ntemporary veneers to protect your teeth while your permanent ones are being\nmade in a lab. You will return to the office in about two weeks, and voila!\nYour new smile is then attached with a special bonding agent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can I Keep My Veneers in Good Shape?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers last about a decade on average before needing to be\nreplaced, but with regular brushing and flossing, they can last several years\nlonger. Although veneers are much stronger than natural teeth, they can still\nchip or crack. Make sure to protect your smile by wearing a mouthguard during\nsports to prevent injury. In addition, try not to use your teeth for anything\nbesides biting and chewing. Using your teeth as tools to open or carry things\ncan make them more likely to be damaged, requiring your veneers to be replaced\nsooner than planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens If My Veneers Break?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any dental emergency, the first thing to do is call\nyour dentist and let them know of your situation. Collect and safely store all\nof the parts if the veneer is broken. Your teeth may be sensitive to hot and\ncold temperatures, since they have no covering. In the meantime, gently brush\nyour teeth with desensitizing toothpaste or take an over-the-counter painkiller\nlike ibuprofen for relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers should rarely if ever break, especially if you take\nproper care of them. IF you are interested in a brand-new smile, ask your\ndentist about porcelain veneers today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Hubert Parker has practiced in Mobile, Alabama for more\nthan a quarter of a century.
