One of the first things we notice about people when we first meet them is their smile and their teeth, so if the teeth are beautiful it is very noticeable. However, it is just as noticeable when the teeth are not so attractive to look at. Crooked teeth can really spoil the appearance of a beautiful smile and look quite unpleasant. In today’s world where image and self-confidence is so important, being unhappy with how you look could be the source of great anxiety.
Thankfully, thanks to various cosmetic dentistry techniques, there are a number of options that can easily remedy crooked or uneven teeth. One option is to try orthodontic braces or aligners. These are very effective treatments but can take a long time to show results, in some cases as long as three years. It also involves the sacrifice of having a mouth full of metal wires and brackets for the duration of treatment.
Another more immediate option is to have a set of porcelain veneers fitted over your exiting teeth. This could solve the straightening problem in as little as one afternoon. Porcelain veneers are ceramic tooth caps that fit over the top of existing teeth. They are specially designed to fit your teeth and provide the desired effect. This could include restoring the colour of stained or discoloured teeth, covering teeth with worn enamel, or creating a better alignment for crooked teeth.
The process is very simple; the veneers are manufactured according to specifications decided by you and your Leeds dentist, before they are cemented in place using composite dental bonding. If you care for your veneers properly they can last up to twenty years before they need replacing.
Why live with crooked teeth and being ashamed of your smile? Porcelain veneers could give you the beautiful Hollywood smile you have always wanted almost immediately. Ask your dentist for more details about the benefits of porcelain veneers.
