Veneers Create a Perfect Smile

Porcelain veneers can correct the color, shape and alignment of your teeth, giving you a perfect smile. 

Regardless of what's affecting your smile, cosmetic dentistry now offers natural-looking and comfortable restorations to make your teeth beautiful and healthy again. For a dramatic change, Dr. John Sartorio, your Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania cosmetic dentist, often suggests veneers. When these wafer-thin porcelain restorations are placed over your existing teeth, a new, flawless look emerges. Here are a few of the ways that veneers from your Pittsburgh cosmetic dentist can upgrade your smile.

 

Whitening is another cosmetic dentistry procedure; in fact, it's the most popular. Unfortunately, there are certain situations that the bleaching agents cannot treat. For instance, some adults who took tetracycline antibiotics in childhood may have permanent gray stains on their teeth. These are typically resistant to whitening. Receded gums can leave portions of the tooth's root exposed; this area does not respond to whitening agents. If you have any existing dental work, like crowns or fillings, they will stay the same color after the rest of your teeth have been whitened. These are all common reasons that your Pittsburgh cosmetic dentist uses veneers to give your teeth a realistic and consistent color.

Are your teeth unevenly shaped?

Teeth can wear down over time or sustain chips that change their shape. Permanent teeth may grow in abnormally in length or shape. Veneers from Dr. John Sartorio in Pittsburgh can rectify all of these problems. With veneers layered on top of the existing teeth, each tooth will be symmetrical to its neighbors while still maintaining a natural look.

In many cases, veneers can correct alignment problems. Overlapping and small gaps between them can be covered in this way. Orthodontics are typically used for more severe alignment problems; your Pittsburgh cosmetic dentist can evaluate your situation and determine the best treatment.

Veneers can give you a beautiful smile and can last more than a decade with proper maintenance. If you're wondering about this revolutionary smile makeover, contact Dr. John Sartorio, your Pittsburgh cosmetic dentist, to learn more!
