Dental veneers are a type of cosmetic dentistry treatment designed to enhance the looks of your teeth and smile. Usually they are placed on the front teeth that show when you smile. While veneers can look fake, they certainly don’t have to! It is important to understand that the shape and colour that looks best on someone else might not be the best option for you.
At ABC Dental veneer treatment is fully customised and your dentist will help and guide you in your choice of veneers. But you should already have an idea of how you want your teeth to look like after your treatment. Here are some ABC Dental tips regarding veneers colour and shape:
Shades of White
If you go too white your new smile will look unnatural and not aesthetically pleasing
Using the white of your eyes for guidance is a good practice
Skin tones influence the contrast with your teeth colour
Talk to your dentist about veneer colour layering
Veneer shape
Your facial features and face shape should harmonise with the shape of your veneers
Gender related features as masculine smiles are created with square veneers while smiles to look more feminine should opt for softer, more rounded ones.
Longer veneers can help you look younger, bulking up your teeth can help smooth wrinkles around your mouth and thicker front veneers can give you the appearance of fuller lips
