Veneers can transform the appearance of less than perfect teeth by concealing a variety of imperfections. Cosmetic concerns such as cracks, discolorations and uneven surfaces disappear when veneers are placed over the front of problem teeth. In Lincoln Park in Chicago, IL, veneers are placed by Dr. Allen Momongan, Dr. Matthew Flak and Dr. Kara Passolt-Kung of The Dental Practice of Lincoln Park.

Installation of Veneers

Veneers can be made from a variety of materials. Porcelain is commonly used, which is a good match for natural tooth enamel. The veneer itself is an extremely thin cover applied to the front surface of the natural tooth. Before placing a veneer, a thin layer of enamel is shaved from the tooth to allow the veneer to sit flush with the surrounding teeth once installed. The veneer is then permanently applied to the front surface of the tooth using a dental adhesive. In Lincoln Park, veneers can be installed by an experienced dentist at The Dental Practice of Lincoln Park.

Benefits of Veneers

Veneers are quite versatile and can improve the appearance of teeth in several ways, such as concealing a variety of cosmetic flaws. Veneers can improve teeth in the following ways:

• Conceal chips and cracks in teeth.
• Cover up stains and discolorations on teeth that cannot be corrected with whitening treatments.
• Reshape teeth that are misshaped or oddly shaped.
• Smooth out uneven tooth surfaces.
• Correct uneven spacing between teeth.

In addition to being extremely versatile in the different flaws they can conceal, veneers also have the benefit of looking like natural teeth. The color, size and shape of veneers are all custom matched to your existing teeth for a perfect fit. Once placed, the veneers blend in and look like natural teeth. No one else has to know you have them. An additional benefit is that installation of veneers is permanent so they will not fall off or slip out of place. With proper care, veneers can last a lifetime.

Veneers are a versatile option for concealing a variety of cosmetic dental concerns. Veneers can improve the shape, spacing, color and appearance of teeth.
