Veneers are small porcelain ‘fake teeth’ that cosmetic dentists use to make your teeth look better. If you are worried about your teeth or your smile, veneers may be an option. Veneers can make your teeth look considerably whiter, as well as making the tooth alignment appear much better too. The biggest downside of veneers is the cost, making them unavailable to most people. A friend of mine recently had veneers fitted at a Halifax dentists, and her teeth really sparkle now.
You can expect to pay anywhere up from £400 per veneer, which can amount to quite a considerable sum, especially if you get your whole smile renovated using veneers. A big drawback of veneers is the grinding process. Before veneers can be fitted, because otherwise they’d protrude and look strange, your original teeth have to be ground down slightly to make room for the veneers. The dentist will do this before he puts the veneers on, and it potentially means that you may have to wear veneers for the rest of your life. Sets of veneers themselves last for over a decade, but that could mean replacing your veneers a few times in your lifetime, at a great cost. Before you make such a large investment in your smile, make sure veneers are right for you.
