When every smile varies from the next, it’s difficult to guess what each needs to reach perfection, especially for the untrained eye. For instance, how do you know how many veneers you will need to obtain your flawless smile? Any visible teeth can be treated with veneers, so the possibilities range from one to thirty-two! To answer this overall question, you’ll need to think about a few others that can lead you to the ideal veneer solution just for you!
What Cosmetic Dental Problems Do You Want to Treat?
Unlike tooth whitening, veneers can address multiple types of cosmetic issues. In addition to discoloration, veneers can treat gapped, chipped, small, or slightly misaligned teeth. The thin porcelain covering hides various flaws from sight, only showing the natural-looking veneer to alter how you look and feel about your smile. If you still have a relatively strong and healthy tooth left, a veneer can give it a fresh, new appearance.
How Many Teeth Need to Be Treated?
For each tooth that you’d like to perfect, one veneer is needed. Keep in mind that the number of teeth you would like to treat may differ from the number of teeth your dentist suggests treating. To keep your smile looking uniform and consistent, they may recommend covering more teeth with veneers to create your dream smile and avoid anything that could stand out in a negative way. When your dentist makes their recommendation, feel free to ask clarifying questions to justify why and to learn about all your options.
What Are Your Budget and Preferences?
As much as you’d like to think money is no object, it can very much contribute to your final decision for treatment. Veneers can be expensive, and the higher the number, the higher the cost. However, having a smile you feel confident about, that you can depend on to look amazing and flawless, is truly a priceless gift to your future. Balancing your desires with practical financial logistics can help you make your wise decision and move forward toward a perfect smile.
In the end, the number of veneers you need will be determined by you and your dentist working together. Make sure you are open and honest with your dentist and know that they simply want to deliver the best results possible. With an agreed treatment plan, you can move forward and get excited for a smile that will wow everyone around you and help you reach your goals.
