Many patients who are interested in transforming their smiles are actually wanting to improve multiple aspects of their smile. Some patients, for example, want to straighten their teeth and whiten dental enamel. Other patients need to fix a broken, cracked, or chipped tooth while they straighten crooked teeth. The fact is that very few people are born with white, straight, and perfectly proportioned teeth. The good news is that dental veneers are a versatile cosmetic option that can help you achieve your dream smile.

Our Sullivan cosmetic dentists are committed to helping patients find a cosmetic treatment that fits their budget, goals, and ideal timeline. Dental veneers are a useful option for many patients because they can be placed in just one or two visits, and they can rectify a variety of very common cosmetic problems all at once. Dental veneers can be used to fix:

·      Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth

·      Misaligned teeth

·      Dark or dull enamel

·      Oddly proportioned teeth

·      Pitted or poorly developed enamel

·      Crooked and crowded smiles

·      Large gaps in the smile

Veneers are thin layers of porcelain that are attached to teeth—essentially resurfacing the appearance of the outside of the tooth, and transforming the appearance of the smile. Because veneers are custom shaped and shaded they are crafted to blend with the patient’s natural teeth. Veneers can be used to lengthen or widen existing teeth, as well as resurface enamel.

Many patients choose veneers because veneers can rectify a number or problems in just one or two appointments. Patients, therefore, do not have to wait through years of orthodontic treatment, or multiple teeth whitening appointments to realize their dream smiles. If you or someone you know is considering porcelain veneers give our Sullivan cosmetic dentists a call for more information. As always we can be reached at (573) 321-4008, and we’re here to help!
