How veneers transform your smile

Veneers conceal a variety of imperfections that affect the fronts of your teeth. The thin, porcelain shells are made from an impression of your mouth to ensure that they fit perfectly. Veneers are attached to the front surfaces of your teeth with dental cement and become a permanent part of your smile.

Although porcelain veneers are only as thick as a contact lens, they offer excellent coverage for these issues:

• Minor Damage: Chips and shallow cracks disappear from view when you add veneers to your teeth.
• Uneven Surfaces: Teeth aren't always perfectly smooth. Luckily bumps or pits can be easily concealed with the addition of a few veneers.
• Discolorations: Previous dental issues or the use of the antibiotic tetracycline during childhood may have discolored one or more of your teeth. Once veneers are attached, your problem teeth will look just like surrounding teeth.
• A Faded Smile: Veneers are also an excellent choice if you want to improve overall whiteness. In fact, veneers are the reason for the white smiles you see on actors and actresses. When veneers are used to whiten your entire smile, you choose the perfect shade of white for you.
• Gaps: Gaps don't have to make you stop smiling. Veneers close slight gaps, transforming your appearance.
• Shape or Length Issues: When one or more teeth are crooked or oddly shaped, veneers can improve the uniformity of your smile. They're also a good choice if you have teeth that are shorter than the others. (If your short teeth are a result of grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep, your dentist may recommend a nightguard during your visit to the Vero Beach office. Nightguards prevent damage to your teeth and your veneers.)
