Did you know that according to a study from the University of Western Ontario, the average American adult laughs about 17 times a day? Unfortunately, being embarrassed by your teeth can keep you from fully enjoying the moment. A study conducted by OnePoll for Snow Teeth Whitening found that up to 57% of adults cover their mouths when they laugh to hide their dental imperfections. If this sounds familiar, you need to know about DURAthin veneers! This revolutionary new cosmetic service can transform your smile into a feature you can’t wait to show off. Your dentist in Virginia Beach explains what sets these veneers apart and why they might be the perfect solution for you.
What are DURAthin Veneers?
DURAthin veneers are incredibly slim, tooth-shaped shells made of dental porcelain, which looks and feels just like a natural tooth does. They’re about as thick as a contact lens, allowing them to bond to the front of a tooth with minimal changes to the structure of your enamel. Whether one or more teeth are cracked, stained, or misshapen, they can be masked with the visage of a perfect smile with DURAthin veneers.
How are DURAthin Veneers Different Than Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers in Virginia Beach are also used to improve the size, shape, and color of teeth. However, the advantages of DURAthin veneers include:
- They’re much thinner, so the surface of your tooth needs minimal preparation before the DURAthin veneers are placed.
- They don’t require any permanent alternations to the structure of your enamel, so they can be reversed if needed.
- Since less enamel is removed, the natural tooth underneath the DURAthin veneer is stronger than a tooth with a porcelain veneer.
Are DURAthin Veneers Right for Me?
There are a lot of cosmetic dental services available these days. Completely redesigning your smile with DURAthin veneers is ideal for those who:
- Want to cover up minor flaws like chips, cracks, stains, or misshapen teeth.
- Are interested in veneers but reluctant to permanently change their natural teeth.
- Have a narrow smile that naturally only shows six teeth or less.
- Had teeth removed for orthodontic reasons.
- Want to improve teeth that are small or worn down from age.
Don’t let cosmetic imperfections keep you from fully enjoying your laugh. DURAthin veneers are an easy, beautiful way to get the smile you’ve always wanted!
