5 Issues Cosmetic Teeth Veneers Can Fix
Your smile is one of your most valuable assets. You want to do everything possible to keep it as bright and beautiful as possible. One option your dentist can offer is porcelain veneers. Thin veneers made of high-grade dental porcelain can correct many minor dental issues. Dr. Brian Orcutt of Orcutt Family Dentistry in Fair Oaks, California, can advise you on whether veneers would be a good choice for you. Veneers are affordable and provide a long-term solution.
- Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth—Teeth that are broken, cracked, or chipped can detract from your smile. They can be uncomfortable and, in some cases, painful. The sharp edges can injure the soft tissues in your mouth and could lead to an infection. Using porcelain veneers to cover and protect a damaged tooth is a good way to improve your smile and prevent further injury. Veneers are an excellent choice that will eliminate the need for an extraction.
- Small or abnormally shaped teeth—Small or abnormally shaped teeth can make your smile look awkward or unbalanced. Dental bonding may be an option in some cases, but veneers can provide a more natural appearance and will last longer. Veneers can increase the size of a tooth and also add shape to it. By using the shape and size of the surrounding teeth, your dentist can create veneers that blend in well and look more uniform.
- Gaps between teeth—Porcelain-grade veneers can also be used to close gaps between teeth. This procedure prevents food from becoming trapped between teeth and makes your teeth look uniform in size. Eliminating gaps between teeth prevents your teeth from shifting. If enough pressure is placed on a tooth, it may begin to shift toward the open space, throwing off the alignment of your teeth and causing uneven wear and tear.
- Stained or discolored teeth – Stains are common if someone smokes, uses smokeless tobacco, or drinks a lot of wine and coffee. This type of staining can be corrected with professional teeth whitening treatments. If the discoloration is caused by medication or an illness, porcelain veneers are one of the few options available. Your dentist will be able to identify the cause of the discoloration and help you choose the most appropriate solution for your needs.
- Improve a patient’s smile—Many patients are very particular about how their smile looks. They may not like the shape of their teeth or just want them to look more uniform. No matter what their reason, veneers are an affordable option that will allow them to improve their smile without spending much money on expensive dental work. Your dentist will provide you with all the information you will need to make an informed choice about which procedure is best for you.
