Veneers

Whether you have a chipped tooth you want to protect or a darkened one you want to cover up, veneers are the perfect solution for those looking for an easy and permanent fix. This procedure is a good option for you if you want to address any cosmetic concerns with your smile.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are layers of material placed over the teeth. They’re usually bonded on the front teeth with dental cement. People get them to either improve the appearance of a tooth or to protect its surface from damage. Veneers also match the color of your tooth so it appears natural.

Two types of material can be used to make a veneer.

Composite

Composite veneers can be directly placed in the mouth or indirectly made by a dental technician to be later bonded to the tooth.

Porcelain

Porcelain veneers can only be indirectly fabricated. Porcelain veneers are more expensive and last longer than composite veneers.

Issues Veneers Can Fix

Veneers can be either a cosmetic or restorative treatment. You can choose to get one for only the affected tooth or get several of them for a more symmetrical smile. Several advantages of this treatment option are easily whitening your smile, replacing worn enamel, and fixing a minor cosmetic concern.

People generally get veneers to correct the following issues:

• Discolored teeth
• Worn down teeth
• Chipped or broken teeth
• Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth
• Gap teeth

Veneer Procedure Benefits

Perhaps the greatest benefit of a veneer procedure is a new and improved smile. Veneers are strong, durable, and can last a long time. As long as you take good care of yours, they should last a very long time.
