Do you wish could change the shape of your teeth? Are you tired of dealing with cracked or chipped teeth? Dental veneers are a solution for such issues. Veneers are customized shells made of porcelain that are attached to the front of your teeth in order to change their appearance. The dental veneer is a versatile, minimally invasive treatment option for a wide variety of dental issues.
When Are Veneers Used?
Veneers can effectively restore the look of teeth in the following conditions:
- Discolored teeth — Teeth can become discolored for many reasons including drinking coffee, smoking, root canal treatment, the use of certain medications, excessive fluoride, or the presence of large fillings.
- Worn teeth — Teeth can be ground down from regular chewing and biting. Veneers can reshape mild to moderately worn teeth.
- Chipped or broken teeth — Veneers cover damaged teeth, providing an aesthetic benefit as well as protecting the tooth from further damage.
- Misaligned or misshapen teeth — Veneers can be used to hide minor orthodontic problems. They can reshape teeth that are too rounded, squared, or short compared to the rest of the teeth.
- Gaps between teeth — If you have large spaces between your teeth, veneers can close the gap between them by resizing your teeth.
Benefits of a Porcelain Veneer
Besides providing a natural tooth appearance, the benefits of porcelain veneers include:
- Resistance to staining
- Gum tissue is less sensitive to porcelain
- Ease of maintenance — brush and floss just like your natural teeth
