In fact, over eight million are placed every year. They can transform your smile to give you the confident grin you want. That said, they weren\u2019t always like this. Decades of evolution have helped them be what they are today. Here\u2019s a quick peek at how they changed throughout the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starring on Silver Screens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veneers were formally invented by Dr. Charles Pincus in 1928. He was a dentist based in Los Angeles who worked on many Hollywood stars. As they sat in his chair, he noticed they were becoming more worried about the appearance of their smiles while filming. Dr. Pincus then came up with this cosmetic treatment as a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first, he used porcelain and powdered plastic. These early veneers would snap onto teeth, but they didn\u2019t last very long. They would need to be removed after a few days or when shooting wrapped up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advancements in Dental Techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several years after these initial conceptions, in the 1950s, Dr. Michael Bunocore made a big leap in restorative dentistry as a whole. He created etching, which is a process that roughens up the surface of a tooth to open the natural pores. The bonding material used for dental prosthetics, like crowns, can form a stronger hold, helping them last much longer. That said, this idea wasn\u2019t used for veneers until 1982.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rise of Modern Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nowadays, veneers are made from high-quality porcelain. It\u2019s made to mimic the look of natural enamel while being fully customizable in shape, size, and color. That way, you can rest assured they will blend in seamlessly. Better yet, your results can even last for up to 15 years with proper care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This helps make this cosmetic treatment a reliable solution to get the grin you\u2019ve always wanted. It just takes two appointments that are two weeks apart to get this transformation. It is also much more accessible and affordable compared to the past, so nearly anyone can flaunt a Hollywood smile ready for the red carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to enhance the look of your teeth?
