Smiling is an integral part of everyday life and doing so regularly can help improve your mood and stimulate the release of cortisol and endorphins. The release of these chemicals also has a variety of health advantages, such as reduced blood pressure and increased stamina. However some people’s smiles are naturally flawed, or become flawed over time, and cause them to feel self-conscious about showing their teeth.

Rippe Dental Associates, one of the leading cosmetic dentistry providers in Centennial, strives to help patients feel more confident through our services like veneers! If you struggle with low confidence due to your smile, consider seeing one of our dentists and discussing if dental veneers are right for you.

What are Dental Veneers?

A veneer is a thin coating of composite or porcelain that is put over a tooth to improve its appearance and protect the real tooth underneath. A composite veneer can be directly attached to the tooth, or manufactured in a dental lab by a dental technician and then glued to the tooth with resin cement. Typically, this type of veneer is used on teenage patients who will require a more permanent design once they have reached adulthood because this type only lasts around four years.

Porcelain veneers are created in a laboratory, and similar to fake nails they are manufactured to fit the tooth and set in place. The entire treatment takes two appointments: one to prepare the tooth and make an impression that will be used to fabricate the veneer in the lab, and another to cement the veneers in place.

Common Oral Issues that Require Dental Veneers

Dental veneers can be used to help rectify many dental issues. The most popular reasons patients want dental veneers at Rippe Dental Associates are:

• Gaps 

Dental veneers can be used to fill empty spaces between teeth that often cause people to become self-conscious. If you have a large gap in your teeth, contact your dentists and see if veneers would be a good option for you!

• Discolored teeth

When teeth whitening is not doing a good enough job some people opt for dental veneers. Veneers can be used to cover any natural discoloration and create a unified pearly white smile.

• Cracked or chipped teeth

When you crack or chip your tooth a veneer can be used to reestablish your tooth’s strength and durability while making it look as good as new. 

• Sensitive Teeth

Do you feel a sharp, painful jolt in your teeth when eating or drinking something cold or hot? If so, you may have sensitive teeth. Veneers can be used to lessen this sensitivity and provide an extra layer of protection to the area.
