In the realm of cosmetic dentistry, patients are often presented with various options to enhance their smile. Two popular treatments are dental implants and veneers. While both have their merits, veneers, as advocated by Dr. Ryan Savage, emerge as a superior choice for those looking to beautify their smile without extensive procedures. This blog explores the differences between these two options and delves into why veneers, particularly those offered at Savage Smile, are often the preferred choice.

Understanding the Basics

‍

Dental Implants: These are used to replace missing teeth. An implant involves a surgical procedure where a metal post is anchored into the jawbone, serving as a foundation for a false tooth. This option is typically recommended for individuals with missing teeth due to decay, injury, or other dental issues.

Veneers: Contrary to implants, veneers are designed to enhance the appearance of your existing teeth. They are thin, custom-made shells crafted from porcelain or resin that cover the front surface of the teeth. Veneers can address a variety of dental concerns, including discoloration, chips, and gaps, offering a dramatically improved look in just a few visits.

Why Choose Veneers?

‍

Minimally Invasive

One of the most compelling reasons to choose veneers over implants is the minimally invasive nature of the procedure. Veneers require little to no removal of the natural tooth structure, making them a less invasive option than dental implants, which require surgery. Dr. Ryan Savage and the team at Savage Smile are experts in applying veneers with precision and care, ensuring the process is as comfortable and efficient as possible.

Versatility and Aesthetics

Veneers are incredibly versatile, capable of transforming your smile by correcting the color, shape, and alignment of your teeth in a way that looks natural and aesthetically pleasing. With the ability to customize the size, color, and shape of veneers, Dr. Savage can create a smile that complements your facial features and meets your cosmetic goals.

Speed of Treatment

The process of getting veneers is relatively quick, often requiring only two to three visits to Savage Smile. On the other hand, dental implants can take several months to complete, as they require the jawbone to heal around the implant post before the final crown can be placed.

Durability and Maintenance

While both implants and veneers are durable, the maintenance of veneers is relatively straightforward, mirroring that of natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are all it takes to keep your veneers looking their best. Moreover, the materials used in veneers are resistant to stains, ensuring your smile stays brighter for longer.
