Make These 7 Smile Flaws Disappear with Dental Veneers

Is there something about your smile you wish you could change? Those odd-sized teeth in your smile line, perhaps? Or a slightly uneven tooth? Or what about that split in between your two front teeth? Sounds like a job for veneers. Natural-looking veneers from Orcutt Family Dentistry can erase smile flaws you find displeasing and make your smile more attractive and appealing.    

A consultation with Dr. Brian Orcutt, your Fair Oaks, California dentist, is the first step to transforming your smile with veneers. Here are just a few of the many smile flaws veneers can address:

1. Chipped and Cracked Teeth 

You may not be old, but your smile can surely look old and weary when you have chipped or cracked teeth. Dr. Orcutt can restore your smile’s youthful appearance by covering the damage with veneers. Veneers will even strengthen your teeth to protect them from damage in the future.

2. Uneven Spaces & Gaps Between Teeth 

Dr. Orcutt can use porcelain or composite veneers on gapped teeth to improve symmetry in your smile. Small gaps or uneven spaces between teeth can make your smile look choppy and uneven. Veneers can close those gaps naturally, so your pearly whites appear smooth and even. 

3. Worn Teeth

Although tooth enamel is quite strong, it can wear down over time. Even well-used teeth eventually develop a worn appearance. Covering worn teeth with veneers can rejuvenate their appearance and improve your smile’s aesthetics.

4. Discolored Teeth That Won’t Whiten 

In like manner, veneers can cover stubborn tooth stains that teeth whitening can’t bleach to give your smile a whiter, brighter appearance. 

5. Misshapen & Odd-sized Teeth

Teeth that are different tend to stand out and become the focal point of your smile. It only takes one odd-sized or misshapen tooth in your smile line to throw your entire smile off balance. Dr. Orcutt can alter the size and shape of these teeth with veneers to make your smile appear more uniform. Veneers can widen thin teeth and lengthen short teeth, so they fit in seamlessly with your smile and contribute to its symmetry and beauty.   

6. Slightly Misaligned Teeth

Sometimes, veneers can replace orthodontics for slightly crooked or uneven teeth. Veneers won’t change the position of these teeth, but they make your smile look straight and even. However, if your crooked teeth affect your bite or ability to chew, Dr. Orcutt will recommend correcting their alignment with orthodontics.

7. Gummy Smile

When you have short teeth or receding gums, your gums can dominate your smile, making it look less pleasing. Dr. Orcutt can redesign your smile using veneers to show teeth and gums in even proportions. Balancing your smile will greatly improve its aesthetic appeal.
