5 Smile Flaws Easily Corrected With Veneers

Are you looking for a permanent solution to getting the smile of your dreams? Learn more about how veneers could potentially be the solution to your aesthetic problems.

Do you have a less-than-perfect smile? Certain “defects” can be endearing to some, but if they’re causing you discomfort in social situations when you smile and talk, you should know that there’s probably a way to fix them.

Dr. Sabrina E. Mickel, our expert, has years of experience working with patients who want to achieve a pearly white, Hollywood-like smile. For many small defects, she uses veneers. Below, we asked her to explain what sort of smile flaws you can expect to fix with the help of veneers.

1 Teeth yellowing and stains

Do you enjoy your morning coffee yet struggle to maintain the whiteness of your teeth?

Not only can you use veneers to cover up stained teeth, but you can now use them to ditch dental whitening appointments, as porcelain veneers are more stain-resistant than natural teeth.

2 Minor breakage and chipped teeth

With the help of veneers, you can cover up small chips and minor breakage. Veneers can also function as a barrier between the damaged tooth and external forces, preserving the health of the tooth for longer.

3 Crooked teeth

Significant misalignments do require braces, but if you have just a few crooked teeth, you don’t need to spend months with bulky braces in your mouth to have them looking straight. Veneers can cover them up and enable you to have the look of straight teeth without the pains of orthodontic treatments.

4 Worn out teeth

Are your teeth looking worn out? Do you grind your teeth at night? Veneers can also add some length to shorter and worn-out teeth.

5 Cover up dental work

Previous dental work can leave you with fillings that over time no longer match the shade of your natural teeth. Or perhaps you’ve had a root canal and your tooth looks greyish.

Veneers can cover these little flaws, leaving you with a perfect smile.

Understanding the placement of veneers

Dr. Mickel files down a thin layer of your tooth to make room for the veneer so it looks natural and not bulky. She then bonds the veneer to the real tooth. Depending on your preferences, she can customize the veneer to have a certain shape, length, and shade of white.
