Can Veneers Fix Common Cosmetic Issues?

Veneers are thin coverings of porcelain that attach to your teeth. They can be used to make the front of your teeth have a more pleasing shape. They can be used to cover stains that do not improve with teeth whitening. Veneers are also used to hidegaps between your teeth. If you've been thinking about improving your smile,talk to Dr. Joseph or Dr. Schell, our experienced cosmetic dentists, to see if veneers might be right for you!

Veneers to fix crowded or crooked teeth:

• Alternative dental treatment to braces or Invisalign
• Option for mild to slightly moderate crowded/crooked teeth
• Dr. Joseph/Schell shaves down the front of your teeth (usually about 0.5mm) so the veneers can be cemented to them.
• Does not change the position of your teeth, but the veneers make the front ofyour teeth look naturally straight and evenly spaced.
• Veneers can cost more than braces or Invisalign but require fewer visits and give a straighter smile in a shorter time period.

Veneers to fix stained teeth:

• Good option for people whose teeth stains will not come out, even with multiple whitening treatments
• Can cover medication stains, deep set-in stains, discolored teeth from trauma, excessive fluoride stains, and more
• The veneers cover your teeth with porcelain or composite that is a whiter shade of tooth color
• Veneers can be created in almost any shade, allowing you to achieve your ideal shade of white.
• Provides long-term coverage

Veneers to fix gaps in your teeth:

• Option for mild to moderate gaps
• Faster than braces or Invisalign, done in as little as 2 visits
