6 Problems that Veneers Resolve

Is your smile marred by minor irregularities that bother you? Modern cosmetic dentistry can whisk away tooth imperfections. Board-certified general and cosmetic dentist Dr. Elena Davidson with Davidson Dental Group consults with you on your goals for your smile. 

Veneers may be the perfect solution. They’re super thin but strong porcelain shells that fit over your natural teeth. They can resolve a wide variety of smile imperfections. Following are six problems that veneers resolve. 

1. Dingy or dull teeth 

Do you want your teeth to resemble a nightly TV anchor? Veneers will get you there. Veneers are a great solution if you want an even row of beautiful white teeth. If your natural teeth suffer from discoloration, you no longer need to worry about it. You can select the tone of your veneers — choosing any tone, from a slight brightening over your natural color to a brilliant shade beyond the best whitening procedure. 

2. One or more discolored teeth 

Perhaps you’d like to change only a few areas of your smile. Maybe you developed white spots from forgetful dental hygiene or took a prescription medication that discolored some teeth. Teeth whitening won’t work well for these problems. Veneers can be matched to your unaffected teeth to eliminate the impact of these stains. 

3. Crooked or misaligned teeth

If you have a minor tooth alignment issue, such as a tooth that’s just slightly crooked, we can custom-design your veneers to smooth out minor alignment problems. Each individual veneer is made to match your needs, so they can work together as a set to smooth out mild crookedness. 

4. A gap between teeth 

If your gap isn’t huge but bothers you, we can fill it so the area looks natural. Shaping adjacent veneers can also create a natural and balanced final appearance. 

5. Chipped or cracked teeth 

A chipped or cracked tooth in the front of your mouth, whether from a sports accident or a fall in the bathroom, isn’t eye-catching. If the crack or chip doesn’t compromise the tooth, so it’s at risk of decay, we can cover it with a veneer, making a weaker tooth stronger. Your natural tooth remains protected and viable. 

6. Misshapen teeth

Are you bothered because your teeth aren’t even in appearance? Perhaps some come to a sharp point while others are flat or round. You’d love your teeth to have a uniform appearance. 

Veneers can change the shape of your teeth if that’s the missing touch to maximize your smile. We can shorten or lengthen a tooth and change its shape to give you a row of smooth, even teeth.
