If you have heard of dental veneers, you may associate them with a huge, gleaming smile. However, this important dental restoration can do more than just a complete smile overhaul. Find out more about the versatility of veneers and what they can do for you with Dr. Raymond Della Porta at his practice in Vero Beach, FL.

What can a dental veneer do for me?
Thanks to their design, veneers can create a variety of results, from subtly correcting a chipped tooth to covering all the visible teeth to provide a completely new look. A dental veneer can help many patients who wish to improve the appearance of the imperfections in their smile. Some of the most common uses for veneers include to correct:

• chipped teeth
• cracked teeth
• discolored teeth
• yellowed teeth
• uneven teeth
• slightly gapped teeth
• slightly overlapped teeth
• too-thin or too-wide teeth

What can I expect from the procedure for veneers? 
Dental veneers will require the help of a dental laboratory to create the actual veneers themselves. However, the lab will require an impression of your prepared teeth before they begin designing and creating your veneers. You will have at least two separate appointments during your veneers procedure. The first appointment will include preparing your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel from their surfaces and taking the dental lab’s impression. If necessary, your dentist will place temporary veneers at this time. The second appointment will occur after your veneers return to your dentist’s office and will involve your dentist removing any temporary restorations and replacing them with the final product.
