Customized Veneers to give you a TruSmile
As the name implies, each one is custom-made specifically for your mouth and your smile with customized snap-on veneers. This provides a near-perfect fit and looks that you cannot distinguish from your original teeth.
The way customized veneers are applied to your teeth is unique and ensures a secure fit and seamless look.
Creating and fitting customized veneers begins by removing a thin layer of enamel from the teeth where they will go. The next step is to take a series of images and impressions, which help ensure the perfect end product is created in a dental lab.
In some situations, your teeth will be whitened to help ensure the restoration matches perfectly and provides you with a Brighter Image and the whitest smile possible.
If you choose customized veneers (which is highly recommended), you will likely have a follow-up appointment to help ensure the fit is right and make any final adjustments that may be needed. The last step is to apply snap-on veneers and ensure they are firmly attached to your teeth and that they look and function like your natural teeth.
DIY Veneers Kit
DIY veneers kits are dental appliances you can purchase online. Usually, these are made of cheaper materials and designed to be used for a temporary smile improvement. DIY veneers are typically connected to your natural teeth using a dental adhesive.
Some brands available require you to take a mold of your teeth and mail it to the provider; however, others don’t. Keep in mind if you don’t take a mold of your mouth, you can’t expect that good of a fit for the veneers you receive.
Pre-Made Veneers
Another option is pre-made veneers. These are designed without a mold of your mouth and come in a “one-size-fits-all” option. While they may provide a mild improvement in the look of your smile, the function is often limited because the fit is not as good as what is offered by custom veneers.
Choosing the Right Veneers to Help Improve Your Smile
If your dentist has suggested veneers, it’s a good idea to consider your options. While each one may help improve the look of your smile, only customized veneers provide the “total package.” This includes an improvement of the look and function of your teeth and smile.
If you aren’t sure what option is right for you, discuss them with your dentist. They can help you make the right decision.
