Dental Veneers

Could Veneers Improve My Smile?

A veneer is a thin porcelain facing, often no thicker than a fingernail, which is molded in the dental office and created in a dental laboratory. Veneers are bonded to natural teeth and have provided amazing smile transformations for many patients. Veneers are useful in correcting teeth which are discolored, cracked, misshapen, slightly crooked, spaced or crowded.

Porcelain veneers are often used as an alternative to braces or crowns. While it may take years to correct a smile through the use of braces, veneers can be completed in two dental appointments, providing an instant smile makeover. Braces may be a better option for teeth that are more than mildly crowded. Consult with your dentist if you have any of the following conditions which may be corrected through the use of veneers.

• Stained or discolored teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Mildly crooked teeth
• Spaces between teeth
• Chipped, cracked or worn teeth
• Teeth that are too small or too large
