Can Porcelain Veneers
Improve Tooth Appearance? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although
they’re healthy, some of your teeth may not be very attractive. |
|
Life
experiences and perhaps your genes have conspired |
|
|
against you
to make them less than presentable when you smile. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Porcelain
veneers could be a cost-effective answer to improving |
|
The
appearance of stained or slightly defective teeth. |
|
|
Made of thin
layers of life-like dental porcelain, veneers cover unsightly |
|
teeth and
give them a new look with minimal tooth preparation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color teeth
can become discolored for a lot of reasons: |
|
|
age-related yellowing, certain foods and
beverages, |
|
|
or
tetracycline use at an early age. In some cases, better oral hygiene or |
|
whitening
can restore some of the natural brightness to teeth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But in other
cases, especially deep discoloration . |
|
|
|
within a
tooth, external whitening won’t help |
|
|
|
Veneers with
life-like color that match your other teeth |
|
|
could be a
way to permanently brighten your smile. |
|
|
Although
resilient, teeth can be damaged. |
|
|
|
A
significant mouth injury can result in chipping and tooth grinding |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
habits could
cause abnormal wear that makes the teeth appear shorter. |
|
And, you may
have been born with one or more teeth |
|
|
that are
oddly shaped too rounded or square
that can affect your smile. |
|
Customized
veneers can bring a more attractive shape to your teeth. |
|
A normal tooth’s size should be
proportional |
|
|
|
to the lips
and the amount of gums showing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shorter
teeth can upset this proportion. |
|
|
|
Veneers can
lengthen your teeth to a more appealing size. |
|
|
But there’s
a limit if you’ve lost a good portion
of tooth structure |
|
due to
disease or injury, a porcelain crown that completely |
|
|
covers the
tooth may be the better option. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Excessive
gaps between teeth, crooked teeth or poor bites |
|
|
may require
orthodontic treatments like braces. |
|
|
|
If, however,
these alignment and spacing problems |
|
|
are minor
like a slightly crooked tooth or a minute gap |
|
|
between the
front teeth veneers could be a more |
|
|
|
cost-effective
alternative that can be achieved in less time. |
|
|
It’s also
possible with some orthodontic situations |
|
|
|
to use veneers in conjunction with braces or
other treatments. |
