Dental Veneers Not everyone is blessed with a perfectly aligned, sized, and colored smile by nature, but cosmetic dentistry can help. Veneers are the ideal cosmetic solution for patients who want their teeth to look as perfect as possible. Your dentist can show you what veneers can do for your smile. Learn more about veneers ahead of your appointment at Signature Smiles in Toms River, NJ.

Want a Better Smile?
If you want a better-looking smile, you’re certainly not alone. An American Dental Association sponsored survey found that the majority of respondents value a glowing smile over all other cosmetic traits. Many people judge a smile by the shape of the teeth, the overall alignment (no gaps or overlapping teeth), and how white it looks. The ideal smile brightens up your face and highlights your complexion. All of these factors are considered when your dentist consults with you about veneers.

What Veneers Can Do
Veneers can completely restore the outer look of your front teeth (both the top and bottom rows). They are very thin, very light porcelain wafers that are applied to the teeth using a strong white dental bonding agent. They are tough, resilient, and look amazing. Your Toms River, NJ dentist can improve the shape of each veneer once they’re all in place so that they have natural contours.

Short and Long-Term Benefits of Veneers
In the short-term, you will immediately experience the delight of being able to smile around others without holding back or hiding your teeth. If you have any major upcoming social events to attend, you can show off your new smile. One long-term benefit is that your front teeth will have a layer of protection from enamel erosion and biting forces, though you should ideally avoid exposing your veneers to tough foods and acidic beverages.

You can have a whole new smile this year, and it only takes a matter of weeks and a couple of appointments with a cosmetic dentist. Call (732) 244-4114 today to consult Dr. Carmela LaFalce at Signature Smiles in Toms River, NJ about veneers.
