Smile makeover; the fab smile of the future is here now
The future isn`t orange, its white, in fact it’s better than white it’s a miracle of science. A smile makeover is the latest `must have` and for once we are all in agreement. However, the problem isn`t so much, `how much`, as `which one`? Veneers are the first choice of many, and many of the fans of this method are also looking to fix teeth problems as well as getting whiter teeth. Traditionally veneers are made for the individual tooth, and they come in various thicknesses depending on the problem being fixed. They also need to be blended into the tooth and to do this the dentist will need to shave an equal thickness off the problem tooth. This procedure makes the tooth dependant for its life time on always being replaced by another veneer. They last between 3-15 years, and a lot of factors will determine that period, the good news is that they are easily replaced at any time. They will eventually become discoloured, that’s life I`m afraid and no science has overcome that problem as yet. The latest innovation in veneers is the Lumineer, it comes as an ultra thin veneer, and that’s all down to its new formula. It is tough and durable at the same time, and it can be trimmed in situ. It is as thin as a contact lens and is being bandied about as the `contact lens` veneer, this also describes the ease at which it is fitted in place. As it’s so thin it doesn`t need any enamel shaved off the tooth to take it, the dentist won`t even numb your tooth. It is glued on using a new type of dental glue; this adheres to the tooth by being cure dried using a special intense light to do so. They last around 20 years or so, and like traditional veneers they need no special care, just the normal flossing, rinsing and brushing at the usual times of day. At the usual six monthly visits to your dentist they will be able to remove any tartar build up to keep the veneer in tip top condition. A smile makeover is also known to improve your self esteem and confidence, it isn`t just a fashion statement. The cost of this type of makeover has fallen dramatically and it won`t break the bank, it can also be done in stages starting with the worse teeth first, then as you can afford more veneers you can have them as you go along.
