But while you can\u2019t magically make them grow bigger, there <em>is<\/em> one cosmetic dentistry treatment that makes it <em>seem<\/em> like you can. They\u2019re called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patriotdentalpensacola.com\/veneers.html\">veneers<\/a>, and they can make amazing changes to your smile in just a few visits to your dentist. Here\u2019s what you need to know about this life-changing treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that fit over your existing teeth to change their appearance. They can be customized to your exact preference of tooth shape, size, and even color. With proper care, they can last for over 20 years and still look as good as the day you got them! To get this treatment, your dentist just needs to remove a very small amount of enamel from each tooth and then cement the veneer itself into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can Veneers Change My Smile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers have been affectionately nicknamed \u201cinstant orthodontics\u201d because they can change the spacing, size, shape, and color of the teeth instantly. If your teeth have gaps, are uneven, too small or stubby, or have become discolored due to age, medication, or diet, this treatment can correct the damage and give you the beautiful, long-lasting results you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Know if I Qualify for Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to see if you\u2019re a good candidate for veneers is to schedule a consultation with your dentist. There, you can discuss your smile goals, and he can see if veneers would be a viable option. If your teeth or gums have any untreated problems such as cavities or gum disease, these will need to be corrected before they can be applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers can typically be done in about two appointments: one to reshape your teeth and make impressions, and a second to attach them once they\u2019ve returned from the dental lab. After your new smile is complete, you can use them to eat a full diet, but you\u2019ll need to be sure to brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, veneers are a durable, beautiful way to correct a variety of dental flaws in one safe, effective treatment. If you have teeth that are too small, short, or stubby, schedule a consultation with your dentist today to learn more about how this treatment can transform your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patriotdentalpensacola.com\/meet-the-team.html\">Patriot Dental<\/a>, Dr. Lisonbee and Dr. Henry are proud to help patients improve their smiles with the help of veneers.
