Do you want a whiter smile, but aren’t too keen on traditional whitening techniques?

At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms, our dentist Dublin can assess your suitability for dental veneers; thin, porcelain coverings placed over your teeth for an instant whitening and concealing effect!

Here, our dentist Dublin discusses 5 key advantages of having veneers fitted by our team, so enjoy!

Low maintenance

Veneers are a great way to restore your smile because, in short, they are low maintenance.

When you have them fitted, you will need to see our dentist Dublin every 6 months for a check-up and continue with your regular dental regime, but that’s about it!

If you have concerns that your veneers are becoming discoloured or are falling off, then please call us as soon as possible so we can assess the situation.

Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy the attractive aesthetics that these nifty coverings can provide!

Natural look

As a veneer is fitted to your tooth or teeth, we can colour match it, shade match it and even match its translucency to your surrounding teeth.

If you are looking for a more natural look as opposed to a Hollywood one, this is easily achieved with veneers. The finished result is completely within your control, so talk to our team about what you hope to achieve from having these restoratives fitted.

Conceal cracks

Cracks in your teeth can not only create issues with your confidence when you smile, but they can also act as a magnet for plaque and bacteria, thus resulting in a higher incidence of decay, even if the crack isn’t that deep.

Luckily, veneers can be used to cover these cracks and can also conceal a myriad of other dental issues such as bad spacing, misalignments and asymmetries with teeth.

Our team will be able to assist you in determining if you are suitable to have veneers fitted to conceal all of these issues.

Reduce sensitivity

Many patients suffer from dental sensitivity; that sharp pang that you get when you drink hot coffee or sip cold water.

And while the cause of any dental sensitivity will have to be explored by our team, having veneers fitted may be the answer. Why? Because some sensitivity is caused by microscopic holes in the teeth allowing external stimuli access to the pulp, this can be stopped by placing a layer over the top of the hole.

A veneer is fitted, discomfort reduces and your smile looks great!

Stain resistant

Many people experience dental staining. And as such, many people require their teeth to be whitened regularly to keep their teeth stain free.

However, if you have sensitive teeth, this may not seem to be an appealing option. Veneers can offer a stain-resistant solution that also allows you to get whiter teeth. The porcelain that the veneers are made from is less porous than that of enamel on your teeth and so, even if you drink coffee every day on your morning commute, they are less likely to stain than your natural teeth. Perfect!
