How Veneers Transform Your Smile

Veneers are custom-designed, ultra-thin porcelain coverings bonded on the front surfaces of your teeth to enhance their size, color, and shape. Our doctors can use porcelain veneers to improve your smile in several ways.

Some include:

1. Straighten misaligned teeth: Porcelain veneers are an effective solution for slightly crooked teeth. If you have one or two teeth not in line with the rest, you don’t have to commit to 18-24 months of treatment with metal braces or Invisalign. Our dentist can disguise your crooked teeth with veneers to create the illusion of a straighter smile. However, remember that veneers don’t correct the underlying issue; they mask it. If you have severe orthodontic issues, we recommend Invisalign or braces to treat the root cause of the problem. 
2. Fix gaps between teeth: In the past, braces were the only solution for closing unwanted gaps between teeth. Today, our dentist can use veneers to fill spaces between teeth without physically moving your teeth. The dentist designs slightly larger veneers and carefully places them over your teeth, closing unwanted gaps to reveal an even, complete smile. 
3. Resize and reshape teeth: It’s common to have one or two teeth that look smaller than average. Sometimes, your teeth can appear tapered or irregularly shaped compared to other teeth. Porcelain veneers are a popular choice for resizing or reshaping teeth. These thin porcelain shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, creating a more uniform, natural look.
4. Whiten your teeth: Dental veneers are perfect for stubbornly discolored teeth that do not respond to teeth whitening. And the best part? Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant. They’ll continue looking beautiful for years despite your love for coffee, soda, or red wine. Unlike the porous natural enamel, porcelain is impermeable. This means porcelain doesn’t absorb stains from strongly pigmented foods, maintaining its whiteness over the years. 
5. Address cracked/chipped/worn-down teeth: Are your teeth worn down from everyday use, teeth grinding, or accidents? We can place dental veneers on them to improve their appearance and protect them from further damage. 

Whether you want to transform one tooth or an entire smile, veneers offer a versatile solution that enhances your confidence with a smile that looks and feels natural. Color-matching veneers can be challenging, so many dentists recommend a full set rather than trying to match 2-3 veneers with existing teeth. We don’t believe in shaving down healthy, beautiful teeth to place veneers to make things easy for us. We examine your teeth to determine those needing veneers and work our “magic” to ensure a seamless integration with the entire smile.
