You may have heard about or seen others that have had "veneers" placed on their teeth. Veneers are a common dental treatment during which ceramic facings are attached to the teeth to permenantly alter the size, shape, shade, or alignment of the teeth. The final appearance of the teeth is carefully designed by you and your dentist to give you the smile you have always wanted. The big benefit of veneers is that because they are thin and strong, they have a very natural appearance, without removing a large amount of precious tooth structure.
Lumineers are a specific type of veneer that we are trained to provide that can minimize the amount of removal of tooth structure and also achieve a vibrant cosmetic result.
Common problems that veneers are used for:
-
Spaces between the teeth
-
Broken or chipped teeth
-
Unsightly, stained or discolored teeth
-
Permanently stained or discolored teeth
-
Crooked or misshapen teeth
Veneers are a great aesthetic solution to your smile that may even help you avoid orthodontic treatment. Subtle changes to your smile can be achieved with veneers, and in most cases, veneer application is completed in only two office visits.
Please contact our office if you have any further questions on veneers, or take a look at our "smile design" section of this website.
