As more people yearn for that perfect set of teeth that will help them feel more confident and attractive, procedures like dental implants and dental crowns are becoming increasingly popular.

Perhaps one of the most stunningly popular procedures is dental veneers — over the last five years alone, the number of people who wear these porcelain veneers has shot up by an incredible 250%. That’s because veneers can correct a wide range of different aesthetic problems people have with their teeth while being comfortable and affordable.

Nor sure if a set of dental veneers would help your smile look better? You may be surprised to read these three ways that porcelain veneers improve smiles for people everywhere:

Veneers whiten teeth without any of whitening’s negative effects

Teeth whitening can sometimes cause tooth sensitivity and can cause the gums to recede, which makes them an undesirable option for some people. Luckily, a set of porcelain veneers is able to make the teeth appear whiter than any whitening procedure could make them, without any of the negative after-effects.

Veneers can replace lost tooth enamel

Everyone is born with a tough layer of tooth enamel that protects the teeth from decay. However, tooth enamel can be stripped away if one drinks acidic beverages like soda — and once this enamel is gone, it doesn’t grow back. Veneers, which are thin layers of porcelain that cover the teeth, can offer people the same amount of protection that enamel does, however.

Veneers can correct minor orthodontic concerns

It’s a little-known fact that a set of dental veneers might also be able to correct a slightly crooked tooth? While they won’t do the same kind of orthodontic work that a set of braces might, veneers can be used to make one or more teeth a little straighter. When fixing dental misalignment can help prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease, veneers are good for your health as well as your smile.
