Elmhurst Veneers Dentist Brightens and Perfects Older Teeth With Dental Veneers
As
we age our teeth age with us. When we’re young we may enjoy teeth that are
luminous, white, and sparkling, only to find that, with age, our teeth begin to
look dark and dull. It can be disheartening to find that your teeth are losing
some of their luster, but please remember that there are cosmetic treatments
that can help you reclaim your beautiful smile. Our Elmhurst cosmetic dentists
offer a wide variety of cosmetic treatments to help perfect dulling smiles, and
one of the most popular treatments for older patients is dental veneers.
Dental
veneers are thin layers of porcelain that are attached to existing teeth. They
are used to visually resurface the appearance of damaged or dark dental enamel.
Because veneers are custom shaped and shaded for each patient, they deliver
exceptionally natural looking results.
As
we age our dental enamel thins, which can cause a number of aesthetic issues.
Thinning dental enamel can cause teeth to appear darker or dull, because the
dark layer of dentin below the enamel begins to show through the surface of the
tooth.
Thinning
enamel can also contribute to cracks and chips in the tooth’s surface. These
cracks not only provide a breeding ground for oral bacteria, they also
contribute to dental discoloration. Although these changes are quite common and
natural for patients with aging teeth, they can be unsightly and take a toll on
a patient’s self-esteem.
With
dental veneers, you can effectively correct the color, shape, and size of your
teeth. Porcelain veneers are usually applied in only two or three dental
visits, and they are a permanent cosmetic treatment. Although no patient likes
to realize that his or her teeth are showing wear and tear, it can be reassuring
to know that you don’t have to live with an unsightly smile.
