How to Shop for Tooth Veneers

A beautiful smile is worth millions to the person wearing it. However, sometimes our natural teeth need a little upkeep. Modern dental science allows you to change they way they look. Consider the purchase of a new, attractive veneer. Follow these steps to get the look that suits you.

Instructions

• 1

  Start with healthy teeth and gums. If you already have these, you are ahead of the game. If not, you need to have dental work done to correct imperfections before looking into tooth veneers.

• 2

  Choose a good cosmetic dentist. If you do not know who to use, check around with your friends or families for referrals. You might also ask for references from your local dental society.

• 3

  Look over samples of porcelain tooth veneers at your dentist's office. This is your chance to shop. They can show you a variety of shapes and demonstrate how the shape and length can be changed along with any shading changes you might want.

• 4

  Consider what will look right on you. Do you have the skin tone for brilliantly white teeth? Decide if you want to go for the natural look, or for the glamorous look by lengthening your teeth and making them snow white.

  Give a lot of thought to the reason you are choosing veneer for your teeth. Do you have problems to correct or is your decision strictly an aesthetic choice? Either way, when you shop for veneer, make an informed choice.
