For people who drink tea, coffee and fizzy drinks in excess, they should watch out. These drinks will have a bad effect on the color of your teeth and erode the enamel, which is the hard, protective shield. You have cases where teeth are especially vulnerable from enamel that only covers your teeth in a thin layer. Thin enamel may be a condition transmitted through genes.

Or, it may be because of prescription drugs that affect the enamel and its ability to protect your teeth. People who grind their teeth at night also suffer because this will also impact on the enamel and inhibit your teeth's defenses. That's not all. It could also upset the shape of your teeth, which ultimately affects your bite.

However, just because the enamel may be spoiled, it shouldn't force you to have a dental veneer straight away.

Come to see me at my Ashburn dental clinic. And I will have a look at you. Maybe we could solve your problem with something as simple as cleaning. How about whitening your teeth? That may work. This is a fantastic procedure and yet so easy. People don't have a clue about the traits of the process. And all it takes is a little bit of whitening solution.

Still, you must be prepared for other treatments. If, for instance, we find that the coating of your teeth has been extensively damaged, then we may have to go to Plan B. That is to give you dental veneers. Dental veneers wrap around all of the front part of a tooth. The first phase is to have a look at your teeth and prepare them for veneers. We will do this before anything else. Then my lab technician will make your custom-made dental veneers. A follow up visit will be scheduled once the veneers are finished so you can have them attached to your teeth.

Ashburn veneers have several qualities. For a start, they are available in different colors. These veneers also keep their colors and should remain vibrant and shiny for a long time. The veneers are good at fixing your enamel. But they can fix the gaps between your teeth. However, the aspect of dental veneers that makes them popular is that they glisten as good as real teeth. Therefore, there is no unevenness in color. Even with new veneers, your teeth wouldn't look like a night light in the dark.
