5 Smile Flaws Easily Remedied by Veneers

5 Smile Flaws Easily Remedied by Veneers

A confident smile can instill self-esteem and impart a positive impression on others. Veneers could be the ideal fix if flaws prevent you from flashing those pearly whites. These ultra-thin porcelain shells that fit comfortably over the surface of your teeth can correct more imperfections than you likely realize. 

At Avalon Dental in San Ramon, California, Dr. Cliff Broschinsky is an expert in enhancing smiles with porcelain veneers. The process is simple, pain-free, and typically requires two office visits. Custom contoured and tinted veneers look natural, seamlessly blending with your natural teeth.

Here are five of the most popular reasons his patients choose this cosmetic dental treatment.

1. Banish yellow stains

Even if you brush and floss regularly, you can still have yellow, dingy teeth due to stains from foods, smoking, age, and even some medicines. We can remove surface stains with professional teeth whitening treatment. However, porcelain veneers provide solutions for deep stains and intrinsic discoloration that whitening treatments can’t correct.

2. Hide cracks, chips, and other flaws

Since veneers rest on the front surfaces of your teeth, they can be an ideal solution for covering up cracks, chips, and other tiny flaws that can otherwise detract from your smile. Your veneers are custom-tinted to blend beautifully with your other teeth.

3. Improve symmetry and balance

Uneven tooth edges can make your smile look old and worn, even when young. Years of biting and chewing, a habit of grinding your teeth, and even your natural tooth size and shape can make your smile look unbalanced and unattractive. Veneers can even make a worn-looking smile appear healthy.

4. Close gaps

Gaps between teeth do not only detract from how your smile looks but can also provide openings for decay-causing bacteria to grow. Dental veneers can close those gaps in a couple of office visits so your teeth look great and are easier to clean.

5. Make crooked teeth look straight

Veneers can’t move your teeth into alignment like braces but can make mildly crooked teeth look straight and aligned. Your veneers can be custom-shaped and optimally positioned so your teeth look straight and flawless, even without years of orthodontic care.

Veneers typically require two office visits: one to prepare and measure your teeth and one to apply the veneers.
