What Are Dental Veneers?

Historically, dental veneers have their origins in Hollywood.

Back in the late 1920s, a dentist named Charles Pincus was hired to create fake teeth for an actor to wear in a single scene of a movie. That gave Dr. Pincus an idea to create a more permanent cover or shell to hide the appearance of his patients’ natural teeth.

By the late 1930s, Dr. Pincus had developed acrylic veneers. The problem was that the adhesive wasn’t strong, so the benefits of wearing them were temporary at best.

Nevertheless, more dental professionals run with the idea. The materials used to create veneers started to look more and more like natural teeth. And the adhesives used to hold them in place became stronger as well.

That leads us to today’s dental veneers, which can look nearly identical to real teeth and remain in place for decades with proper care.

And you can get them at Total Dental Care of South Carolina. Again, call 803-272-4162 for an appointment.

The Many Uses Of Dental Veneers

To illustrate everything that dental veneers can do, let’s compare them to some other cosmetic services.

➤ Veneers or teeth whitening

Teeth whitening may be the most popular cosmetic dental treatment today. Who doesn’t want a white, bright, clean smile?

Teeth whitening products, like Zoom and Opalescence, can remove stains set deep in your teeth. Veneers can deal with this problem by covering your yellow teeth with a natural-looking shell that can be as white as you would like.

And unlike teeth whitening, dental veneers can make similar improvements for teeth that have become discolored due to injuries, illnesses, and side effects of medications.

➤ Veneers or orthodontics

If you have bite issues such as an overbite or underbite, orthodontics may be your best option. However, veneers may be able to produce similar straight-looking smiles for patients with:

➤ Veneers or tooth bonding

Over the course of our lives, our teeth natural experience wear and tear. Chewing on ice, biting into hard candy, and eating crunchy foods like nuts can cause chips to develop in our teeth. Likewise, certain habits like opening things with your teeth, biting your fingernails, or grinding your teeth together can cause teeth to wear done one another.

For one or two teeth, tooth bonding may be able to fix those issues. If the chipping and the wear are more widespread, then veneers may be the most efficient way to repair your smile.

Want To See A New Smile For The New Year?

If so, then schedule a consultation with Dr. Forbes, our dentist, at our Columbia, SC, office. He can help you decide whether dental veneers or another service is your best option for changing your smile.
