Everyone knows that dental veneers can improve the appearance of your smile, but not many people are aware of the practical benefits of porcelain veneers. Dr. Jacqueline Subka is dedicated to providing outstanding cosmetic dentistry in Thousand Oaks, CA, not only because she wants the residents of the community to look good, but also, because she wants them to feel good. Veneers help accomplish both goals.
3 Dental Problems Veneers Can Solve
In addition to giving you the whiter, brighter smile that you have always wanted without having to invest in implants, veneers can solve a host of dental issues. The top three include:
- Cracked or chipped teeth
- Misaligned or crooked teeth
- Large gaps between teeth
Cracked or chipped teeth are not only unsightly, but they are also painful. Even a minor chip can cause sensitivity to hot and cold substances, while a larger crack can make it difficult to breathe without experiencing some sort of pain. A larger blemish may make it impossible to eat solid substances without risk of the tooth crumbling further.
Individuals with misaligned or crooked teeth experience headaches and jaw pain that their counterparts with straight teeth typically do not have to deal with. Furthermore, crooked teeth are hard to clean, which can increase the risk of tooth decay, cavities and gum disease.
Large gaps lead to an increased risk of periodontal disease and decay as well. This is because the gaps create a perfect place for plaque and bacteria to settle…right on the gum line.
Porcelain veneers can do away with the pain and risks by covering the imperfections and therefore, fortifying the natural teeth against exposures. As a bonus, the end result is a whiter, brighter and straighter smile.
Veneers help patients achieve an aesthetically pleasing smile, but more than that, they can help put comfort back into a person’s life. Contact Dr. Subka and her team in Thousand Oaks, CA today to see if porcelain veneers are right for you.
