In the era of social media, we often find ourselves lacking confidence, getting overwhelmed by what we see in the virtual world. Apps that are meant to help connect with the world have also taken our image consciousness to a whole new level. Do you ever find yourself envying the smile of those Instagram models and celebrities, and wondered how they have such perfect smiles ? Did you ever wish to change your smile, in order to boost up your self-esteem but thought that you couldn’t do anything about it ? What if you were told that it is possible for you to change your smile and re-design it ? No, you do not need to find Aladdin’s magic lamp and summon a Genie to grant you your wish, all you have to do is visit an aesthetic dentist / prosthodontist. Veneers can aid you in getting that pearly white perfect smile which you have always desired.

What are Veneers ?

Veneers are thin tooth coloured shell-like structures that are attached to the front surface of a tooth to change its appearance.

Who needs Veneers ?

People who want to change the appearance of their smile can opt for dental veneers. Dental veneers would be helpful in following cases –

• Closing gaps – Spacing between teeth can be present due to many reasons the most common being the size of the bone with respect to the natural teeth. If despite having healthy gums you observe that there is gap between your teeth you need not worry, it can be rectified using dental Veneers. Of course, not everyone is an ideal candidate for veneers in many cases Orthodontic treatment might be required to achieve the desired results.
• Discolouration – Change in teeth colour can be caused due to many reasons such as tobacco chewing, frequent betel leaf chewing, etc. Sometimes higher quantity of chemicals like fluoride (which is present in water, food, toothpastes, etc) and some antibiotics can also cause staining in our teeth. Some types of stains can be removed by getting cleaning (scaling) done by a dentist. But in cases where stain is present internally it is not possible to get rid of these stubborn stains by scaling. Veneers can be the treatment of choice in these cases. Veneers can make your smile brighter and healthy as you have always wished for.
• Wear and tear – Wear and tear, chipping and some fractures of teeth due to minor accidents leads to change in the shape of the teeth which might be unesthetic to look at. Dental veneers can be used in such cases to mend the problem and create a beautiful smile.
• Minor curvatures – Shape of every tooth varies just like they change from person to person (although not very significantly). But a person might have minor curvatures in the teeth or their alignment. These may be the reason for an asymmetrical smile which one is not happy about. Veneers can come to the rescue in such cases and help in creating an impeccable symmetrical smile.
• Minor rotations of tooth /improper bite – Sometimes due to different reasons teeth might be present in an improper position, wrong angulation, rotated from its normal position, which may also be the reason of improper bite (malocclusion). In some cases, where small changes are required Veneers can be used.
