Do you currently feel that your smile makes you look older than you are, that it makes you appear less healthy, or that it does anything else to hurt your appearance? Porcelain veneers are often effective against these issues, as they can make significant changes while making fewer changes to your tooth structure than you anticipate. With veneers, we can brighten your smile, hide damage, and even address spacing issues that make you self-conscious.
When plans begin to restore a person’s smile with veneers, we can set up two appointments. At your first visit, we will take measurements that are used to design customized shells that will improve the way you look. At this appointment, we can also perform minor preparatory work to ensure that your veneers look natural when they are in position. Once they are ready, you will return to have them affixed to the fronts of teeth. Veneers only take up these front spaces, which means they require less preparatory work than treatment with dental crowns.
Veneers are effective under many circumstances. Does that mean they are always the right procedure for every patient seeking cosmetic treatment? If your goal is just to make your smile brighter, we can recommend teeth whitening treatment to remove stubborn enamel stains. A whitening procedure will not alter your tooth structure, which means less work is needed. We can also discuss treatment with Invisalign aligners. Invisalign appliances enable us to gradually move teeth into their appropriate positions. While this can take longer to complete than treatment with veneers, this leads to lasting changes without permanent modifications to your enamel.
