The benefits of having an attractive smile are priceless; however, few people are born with perfect teeth. Not to mention, many factors can affect the way they look, like poor oral hygiene habits or smoking. Although it might seem like all celebrities and social media influencers have flawless teeth, many didn’t come naturally. Several top online influencers have shared the secrets behind their stunning smiles. Huda Kattan, Tana Mongeau, Jeffrey Star, and Gigi Gorgeous have all invested in veneers. You don’t have to be rich or famous to revamp your pearly whites. Here’s how you can get your teeth camera-ready using one of the most popular and cost-effective cosmetic procedures.
Benefits of a Beautiful Smile
If you’re not happy with the way your teeth look, you probably don’t like showing them when laughing, talking, or smiling for a picture. Your self-esteem isn’t the only thing affected by unattractive teeth.
Although you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, research has found that people with appealing smiles are viewed as younger, confident, and successful. Studies have revealed that people with attractive teeth have better social lives and improved career prospects.
Whether you want to take your YouTube channel to the next level or enhance your Instagram following, improving your smile can give you the boost you need.
Why Are Veneers So Popular?
There are more options than ever before to address common aesthetic flaws, like stains, chips, and gaps. However, veneers rank among the most common elective procedures year after year.
The minimally invasive treatment corrects many imperfections using one procedure. After just 2 appointments, you can say goodbye to tooth discoloration, chips, cracks, and gaps between teeth.
You won’t need multiple procedures or a lengthy treatment plan. Your results can last for a decade or longer with the right aftercare, like brushing and flossing.
How Do Veneers Work?
After an initial consultation and any preparatory procedures, you’re scheduled for the first phase of your treatment.
Your dentist may use a local numbing agent to keep you comfortable, but it isn’t always necessary. They will lightly etch the surfaces of your teeth to ensure your veneers sit flush for a stronger bond. Although your enamel won’t grow back, it doesn’t harm your teeth.
Once your teeth have been prepped, they’ll take a digital impression of your mouth to send to the dental lab. Your dentist will attach temporary veneers to protect your teeth because it can take the lab a couple of weeks to make them.
After your final veneers are sent back to the office, you’ll return to your dentist to have them bonded to your teeth. You’ll walk out of your appointment with a picture-perfect smile that’s impossible to resist. You won’t think twice before showing your teeth in person or online.
