Your smile is considered as one of the most valuable assets that you possess. It has a great effect on every aspect of your life and those around you. In fact it is your best weapon in making an impression to others, whether it is for social or business purposes.

Sad to say only a few are blessed with beautiful smiles. But don't worry for there are so many advancements in cosmetic dentistry today that are specifically designed to fix your smile.

Who said that only a celebrity can have a gleaming smile:

There are many ways you can improve your smile. A lot of dental solutions in cosmetic dentistry are at hand. In addition to teeth whitening, a more predictable way to perk up your smile is through the application of porcelain veneers.

What are porcelain veneers and why get them:

In essence, porcelain veneers are the latest dental product that you can invest in to enhance the color, shape, and texture of your teeth. Their primary objective is to protect, beautify and reconstruct your smile. They can treat several dental problems like stained teeth, misaligned teeth, chipped teeth, warped teeth, misshapen teeth, and other congenital tooth defects.

What is the difference between porcelain veneers and braces:

Porcelain veneers are generally more expensive compared to braces. Though they are more expensive, the results are relatively immediate. Braces, on the other hand, can fix certain overbites and underbites, but it takes time before you see the results. In view of that more people choose the porcelain veneers option instead of braces since veneers offer instant results, especially when someone is looking for the ideal or "Hollywood smile."

Another advantage of veneers over braces is that they can correct misshaped teeth and cover up dark teeth. Basically the veneers are made of a thin shell of porcelain that when bonded to a tooth provides similar strength to the same tooth prior to being drilled!

If you want porcelain veneers to achieve a pearly white smile, search for a cosmetic dentist who has completed many successful cases. As with all esthetic enhancement cases, the stakes are higher and that will require more research when looking for the right dentist. In the end, it will be completely worth it as you watch how your smile changes your outlook on life, and sometimes more importantly, those around you.
