Sometimes, much work goes into the Hollywood smiles you see in movies and television. The average person typically has a range of tiny imperfections that add up to a less-than-perfect smile.
Sometimes, these little problems could, if they were more extensive, would require an equally wide range of treatments. At Excellence in Dentistry, we often recommend dental veneers to smooth out the rough edges that keep your smile from being all it can be.
Today, we’ll examine six typical smile flaws that veneers can resolve. Instead of undergoing orthodontics, whitening treatments, crowns, and more, dental veneers can cap off your smile with a single approach.
Small misalignments of teeth are normal and do not cause functional problems with eating or speaking. Therefore, there is often no point in the time or expense of braces or clear aligners to solve these small cosmetic issues.
Instead, we custom-design dental veneers to even out minor teeth alignment flaws. Your veneers are made to measure over your natural teeth to deliver your idea of the perfect smile. Mild to moderate alignment problems vanish when your veneers are in place.
Similarly, uneven spaces between teeth are common, and sometimes prominent. By offsetting adjacent veneers, we can close those gaps, particularly the ones that otherwise leave spaces in your smile.
Your teeth are tough. Sometimes, you can suffer cracks and chips in your teeth that don’t destroy a tooth but leave it in a weakened condition. Veneers add strength and support to keep your natural tooth viable while covering any aesthetic issue the tooth damage may cause.
While most people develop teeth that have shape consistency, it’s not always a given. Incisors, for example, sometimes seem disproportionately long compared to their neighbors, or you may have a mix of rounded or flattened tooth profiles. Veneers can alter the shape of those oddball shapes for a smile tune-up.
The antibiotic tetracycline can stain one or more of your teeth, while others could have white spots from fluoride overexposure. Generally, these stains are permanent and hard, if not impossible, to remove. We can match single veneers to hide these stains while matching the brightness and color of your surrounding teeth.
The whiteness of a Hollywood smile may be an artificial standard drawn from popular culture, but there’s no denying the impact of a bright white smile. Veneers can deliver, in a single process, the whiteness you want that you may not be able to accomplish with bleaches and your natural teeth. It’s how celebrities do it, and you can too.
