No matter how well you take care of your teeth there will always be instances where damage can befall them. For example, those who live active lifestyles run the risk of suffering impact to their teeth. This can lead to--among other problems--severe chipping of the teeth.
The presence of chipped teeth can prove very problematic for a number of reasons. Namely, when people see chipped teeth, they assume that the individual in question does not take care of his or her teeth. Of course, having your teeth chipped in a bicycle accident is hardly a sign of someone not taking proper care of his teeth. But, this will often be the impression people are left with. That is why the availability of porcelain dental veneers is such a huge benefit since these veneers can eliminate the presence of chipped or damaged teeth. Additionally, the criteria for being an ideal candidate for this cosmetic dentistry treatment are rather broad.
Whether you have chipped teeth, crooked teeth, or even “merely” stained teeth, you will benefit greatly from having porcelain veneers placed over them. These teeth are bonded in a manner that will make them next to impossible to dislodge. However, it is important to point out that this is not a process that can be performed in one visit. Usually, three or more visits are required in order to effectively affix the bonds to the teeth. Also, enamel will have to be removed from the teeth in order to properly place the bonds in their proper position. For some, this is not a problem since the end results are often quite excellent. You could consider these individuals to be the best candidates for porcelain dental veneers.
In short, if you feel you can greatly benefit from a porcelain dental veneers procedure, then you should explore your options with the procedure. You would have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
