Getting these veneers is a relatively painless and easy process: A dental professional will take molds of your teeth and then send them out to a dental laboratory. When your veneers are ready, your dental professional should do one final fitting to ensure these snap-on veneers fit correctly. Once you get the go-ahead that they're the perfect fit, you can head home with your new pearly whites!
Snap-on veneers can be used to cover up a variety of dental problems, including missing and gapped teeth. They can also address concerns about yellowed or stained teeth. Veneers can't correct more severe problems such as crooked teeth, as they are not meant to alter your teeth' structure. An orthodontist should treat more severe issues that you want to fix.
Snap-on veneers are the preferred choice over traditional veneers in several situations. They're great for those who want a more attractive smile but aren't ready for surgery, whether that's because of its invasivity, cost, or other reasons. They're also suitable for people who think they may want traditional veneers but prefer to test them out before committing. As noted by the American Dental Association, the process of getting permanent veneers often involves a little removal of the enamel on your teeth. So if you prefer not to alter your real teeth, snap-on veneers are a great substitute.
Suppose you have any interest in cosmetically improving your smile. In that case, you should have a conversation with your dental professional to find out if you're the right candidate for snap-on veneers. They can also tell you the potential pros and cons of permanent veneers in the future.
Regardless, snap-on veneers are a great way to quickly correct more straightforward cosmetic dental problems without traditional veneers' permanence and commitment. However, no type of veneer can replace good dental healthcare! The best way to keep a beautiful smile is to brush and floss your teeth twice a day and continue to schedule regular cleaning appointments with your dental professional.
