When you have misshapen or stained teeth, you may look for cosmetic dental treatments that can help restore your smile and confidence. There are many options available at Chapel Hill Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, including dental veneers and Snap-On Smile® in Douglasville, GA. These two treatment options are quite different, so how do you know which one is best for your situation?
Understanding Veneers
Veneers are essentially thin shells that are often made of ceramic and designed to fit over your existing teeth. The shells are bonded to the front of your teeth and help to restore their appearance by covering up stains, chips, or cracks. Veneers do have a risk of falling off, which is why it is important to avoid eating hard foods (which are bad for your natural teeth, too).
Considering Snap-On Smile®
Snap-On Smile® is an innovative solution for restoring the look of teeth in just two appointments. This treatment option is ideal not only for chipped or discolored teeth but also for gaps in the teeth. It is a dental appliance custom made for your needs and which you can use for years with proper care. The appliance instantly restores the look of your mouth when you put it in. This is meant to be a temporary solution, and you must take care when eating certain foods so as to not damage it.
Choosing the Right One
The best solution between veneers and Snap-On Smile® depends on your situation. Veneers restore the look of your teeth and are a more permanent option than using a dental appliance. Snap-On Smile® can instantly improve the look of your teeth – including gaps – but is only a temporary solution such as when awaiting treatment for dental implants.
