The years of biting and chewing, along with any problems you have with teeth grinding and clenching, can hurt the quality of your smile. Whether your teeth are generally misshapen or affected by noticeable chips or cracks, porcelain veneers can help. These thin, durable shells are placed over the fronts of teeth. With that area of coverage, they are able to make striking improvements to their shapes and sizes while minimizing the changes they require.
Many people who look to their dentist for help with discoloration expect to undergo teeth whitening treatment. However, not everyone who wants a brighter smile receives this recommendation. Some need to address intrinsic discoloration, which refers to any changes within the tooth structure that leads to dullness or discoloration. Because veneers can cover these flaws effectively, they can produce results when the problem requires something other than just the removal of stains.
Orthodontic services are often required when patients are bothered by poor teeth spacing. However, minor gaps and overlaps can be addressed with veneers as well. If you qualify for this approach, we can give you a more symmetrical smile in as little as two appointments! By gently reshaping teeth and using veneers to close spaces left by any that are undersized, we can help you see welcome changes in a surprisingly short time.
While there are several cosmetic dental procedures that we can recommend to patients, many will find that they only require porcelain veneers to reach their improvement goals. We are happy to meet with you and consult on the role these restorations can play in improving how you look. If you are a good candidate for this service or any other, we can then discuss treatment and your desired changes. For more information, call our Dallas, TX dentist’s office today at (214) 343-1818.
