Did you know that 1 in 4 American adults avoid smiling because of the appearance of their mouth or teeth? Do you find yourself hiding your smile because of misshapen, discolored, or misaligned teeth? If so, our St. Clair Shores, MI, dentist Dr. Sam Malouf at Malouf Family Dentistry offers a variety of cosmetic solutions including dental veneers that can help you achieve a more confident and beautiful smile.

Veneers are Fully Customized

Everyone’s teeth are uniquely shaped and sized, so you can’t just get a one-size-fits-most approach to cosmetically improve your smile. A veneer is bonded directly to the front surface of a tooth, and each individual veneer is custom-made based on impressions taken of your teeth. These impressions help a dental lab create veneers that are the perfect shape, size, color, and thickness to give you the smile you want.

From cracked and discolored teeth to misshapen, crooked, and gapped smiles, veneers are able to cover and correct a variety of imperfections that keep you from having the smile you want.

Veneers are Incredibly Durable

Veneers are typically made from porcelain, which is very resilient. When veneers are bonded to your teeth they may even reinforce and strengthen your smile. This may be a benefit for those who have worn down teeth due to bruxism (aka teeth grinding). Thanks to the medical-grade porcelain our St. Clair Shores, MI, cosmetic dentist requests from the dental lab, your veneers could last up to 15 years with the proper oral care.

Veneers are Stain-Resistant

Another cool feature of veneers is that porcelain is also stain resistant. This means that your veneers aren’t likely to stain or become discolored. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you can let your oral hygiene fall by the wayside. Since it is possible for the bonding resin (the resin that holds the veneers to your teeth) to stain, it’s still important that you brush and floss regularly and limit dark foods and beverages. It is certainly comforting to know that once you finally get a radiant smile with veneers that you’ll have that whiter smile for many years to come.
