Veneers & What They Mean to the Person Wearing Them

Dental hygiene is an essential component for our overall health. Daily brushing and flossing along with semi-annual visits to the dentist for professional cleanings and checkups is an important part of maintaining a bright, beautiful smile. However, cosmetic dentistry is the other side of dentistry that focuses less on how our dental health effects our overall health and more on our appearance and the way we look.

For people who may be lacking confidence in their smiles, veneers are an easy way to boost that confidence so you can smile freely and happily. Veneers, just like our clothing, can act as a disguise which will boost your self confidence. The only difference is that you cannot change your veneers on a daily basis like you do your clothes. But they do provide a more permanent fix to improve your smile and confidence.

If you have been unhappy with your smile, visiting dentfixturkey can potentially change your life in terms of improving your self-confidence. With improved self-confidence, all sorts of other things become a little easier like nailing that job interview or giving a killer presentation at work or school.

While I hate to admit it, the way we look does matter in certain situations and human beings are predisposed to judging each other based on our appearances. How we present ourselves to the world sets the standard for how we will be perceived. We maintain that control over how we want to appear to the rest of society. We have the power to dress how we like and to fix any imperfections about ourselves if we choose to. This is where cosmetic dental surgeons can come in, as they are highly skilled professionals in the art of creating photogenic smiles. If you are considering an improvement to your smile, you can contact a Cave Creek, AZ dentist, or a dental specialist near you for information about your options.
 

Appearance

The purpose of a veneer is to mask any unsightly issues with teeth that cannot be corrected in other ways. There are alternatives but many clients and patients prefer veneers when offered them by their dentist.

To ensure that bespoke veneers will fit your mouth and teeth perfectly, dentists will first take an impression of your mouth. Temporary covers may be placed over teeth during this process. Then the veneer will be attached to the tooth and adjusted if necessary before it is permanently secured in place. Once the veneer has been fitted to your tooth, you can have peace of mind that it won’t move after that.

The Comfort of the Procedure

Veneers are a dental solution that is considered easy and simple to fit. It will normally just take a few sessions to complete the whole process. Then, of course, you will need to attend your regular appointments with the dentist and hygienist as usual. It is important to continue maintaining proper dental health even though your veneered teeth will now stand the test of time.

Value for Money

Veneers that are fitted in Turkey are considered some of the best value for money in the world. But wherever you may have your veneers fitted, it is a price and process well worth it considering the end result. A bright, glowing, confident smile delivers a more positive impression when you step out into the world. When you are able to smile with confidence, you will find that you attract more people, more opportunities, and more success.

In terms of longevity, composite bonding veneers tend to last between 5 and 7 years, whereas porcelain veneers last between 10 and 15 years on average. Porcelain veneers are more expensive but more cost effective over time. So if your budget allows for porcelain, that is the recommended way to go. If you have decided to take the path to veneers, it is worthwhile to search for an affordable dentist who is skilled in veneers and who will help choose the best for your needs and budget. While the treatment is not unpleasant, it still makes sense to go for something that will last longer for convenience’s sake.

Caring for Veneers

Veneers can be cared for in five easy steps. First, you should always maintain good oral hygiene on a daily basis. This means keeping up with your regular dental routine of brushing and flossing at least twice a day. Second, it is important when eating with your new veneers to chew carefully or avoid hard foods that could potentially damage the surface of your veneers. Third, try to avoid grinding your teeth. Fourth, be mindful of eating things that have the potential to stain your teeth. And finally, maintain your regular visits to the dentist because dental health is an important pillar of our overall health.

Once you get veneers, caring for your teeth is exactly the same as without veneers. However, taking extra care and practicing extra caution will help to extend the life of your veneers. Although cosmetic dentists will be using the best materials available, nothing can withstand over-abuse or lack of proper hygiene. Properly caring for your veneers is the best way to protect your investment and maintain the confidence boost that came with them. The visual improvements from veneers is a benefit to anyone who interacts with people on a regular basis whether for work, play, or anything else. First impressions are lasting ones, after all.

Veneers are safe to wear on your teeth for up to 15 years depending on the material used. It has been shown that people who opt for veneers to improve their smiles also have had increased psychological benefits as well. It is good to know that cosmetic dentists in Turkey and around the world have you covered.

Are you happy with your smile?

    It’s so true that the way we look matters in certain situations. Humans definitely judge one another in that aspect. I admit, if I see unsightly teeth on someone it really makes me think ew, yuck!! My teeth are in great shape (thank the Lord) but I do take care of them and get twice a year checkups with my dentist during my cleanings with the dental hygienist. Hubby’s teeth were beginning to look bad but I kept nagging him until he finally went to the dentist to have issues resolved and his teeth cleaned. He brushes his teeth probably three times a day but never flosses and is hesitant to go get them cleaned. I’ll nag until he goes to the dentist again.

      Dee, thanks so much for commenting. I am right there with you on this. I don’t like to judge but I am extraordinarily particular about my own dental hygiene that is difficult for me to see other perspectives. I had so much dental anxiety that as soon as I turned 18 and could decide for myself, I stopped going. For 22 years. But I only permitted myself not to go as long as I took great care of my teeth so that I didn’t need to go. Then when I was 40, I had to go because I had a wisdom tooth infection. I found an amazing dentist who I have been going to for nearly a decade now. On my first visit after 22 years of not going to the dentist, he couldn’t believe how clean and healthy my teeth were. I am so grateful to have been blessed with strong, healthy teeth in the first place. It does help to mitigate my dental anxiety even more.

        I’m lucky I guess since I was never taken to a dentist as a child and never urged to brush or floss. Way back then my dental hygiene was up to me. All the adults back then (parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts) all had dentures or what we called them back then – false teeth. Hubby visited the dentist regularly as a child. As a teen, the first time I met his mother, she complimented me on my teeth then asked who was my dentist. I was so embarrassed to tell her I didn’t have one.

          Oh my gosh, Dee, thank you for sharing that story. I really enjoyed it. I guess we were both blessed with strong healthy teeth despite our lack of dental care! I remember my mother always needing dental work. She would complain that she had soft teeth and they were always crumbling and breaking and falling out. But I don’t recall my father ever having any dental issues. I suppose I should thank his gene pool for this small blessing!
