Smile issues are more than just a minor problem. When damage or flaws affect your teeth, your confidence can suffer, and you may even avoid social situations. Fortunately, your Orange Park, FL, dentist, Dr. Michael Vanover, can help you improve your appearance with veneers.
Veneers hide flaws
Veneers offer a simple solution for many types of imperfections. The tooth-shaped shells are cemented to the fronts of your teeth, concealing flaws that may make you reluctant to share your smile with the world.
The restorations are just about as thin as a contact lens, yet effectively hide many types of imperfections. They're made of porcelain and closely resemble your natural tooth enamel.
The many benefits of veneers
Veneers are an excellent choice if minor damage affects the appearance of a tooth. They're often used to hide chips in teeth or conceal shallow cracks. Is the surface of one of your teeth a little bumpy or uneven? A veneer will make it look smooth.
Veneers can also change the appearance of teeth completely. Once they're added, crooked, twisted, pointed or oddly shaped teeth look straight and uniform. (Although orthodontic treatment may be needed if you have many crooked teeth, veneers may help improve your appearance if you only have one or two problem teeth that don't affect your bite).
Would you like a movie-star bright smile? Thanks to veneers, it's possible to choose the perfect level of whiteness for your smile. The restorations are stain-resistant and won't become dull even if you're a coffee, tea, wine or cola drinker. Veneers can also conceal discolorations caused by large fillings, dental issues or tetracycline.
When gaps are a problem, veneers provide a simple solution. Adding a few veneers makes slight gaps between teeth disappear from view.
Do a few short teeth ruin the symmetry of your smile? Whether the problem is caused by grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep, or if your teeth are naturally short, veneers can help your smile. If grinding or clenching is the cause, Dr. Vanover can fit you with nightguards that will prevent damage to your veneers and teeth.
Veneers are not for every person or every situation though. You need an thorough evaluation of your specific concerns and problem to determine how to best address it considering the condition of your teeth, your cosmetic desires, your budget, and the longterm health of your smile. Dr. Vanover at Vanover Dentistry of Orange Park will evaluate your specific situation, and advise you on the best options to accomplish your goals and correct your smile.
