Crooked, Gapped, Chipped, Cracked and Stained Teeth Can All Be Fixed With Veneers

Your dentist has cosmetic options for addressing every flaw you perceive in your teeth. Not just addressing them, but eliminating them to give you the perfect smile you want. You won’t have to hide from cameras or shield your smile with the back of your hand in special moments. Be proud of your teeth and eager to show them off while they light up your smile and face.

• Are your teeth stained in ways that can’t be whitened? Whitening can help with that. Or crowns.
• Do your teeth have inconsistent spaces between them? Braces or Invisalign can help with that.
• Are some of your teeth longer or shorter than others? Contouring or even bonding can help with that.
• Do you have chips and cracks that detract from the appearance of your teeth? Crowns and bonding can help.

What if you’re looking for an option that is more long-lasting and stain-resistant than bonding, more cost-effective and convenient than crowns, or even a solution that can solve many or all of those problems at once. If you’re in any of those situations, ask the staff at a dental clinic in Edmonton if getting porcelain veneers near you may be the right solution.

Porcelain veneers in Edmonton can fix all sorts of flaws affecting the most visible teeth in your mouth — from minor chips to discolouration and inconsistent spacing and size. Here are the benefits of getting porcelain veneers

An incredibly versatile option

If your teeth are healthy but you just don’t like how they look, veneers can change that. Veneers are thin porcelain shells shaped like fingernails or, well, teeth. Those shells are custom-made to fit onto the surface of your flawed teeth to project the flawless profile of a tooth that closes any unsightly gaps and hides stains and discolouration that can’t be bleached away. A veneer can even be created to increase the length of a tooth that is shorter than its neighbours. What veneers do not do, though, is lend structural strength to a damaged tooth. If your tooth is weak or fractured, the staff at your dental clinic in Edmonton will recommend dental crowns rather than veneers.

Less invasive than crowns

Unless you’re a good candidate for prepless veneers, a thin layer of enamel will have to be removed from the front surface of your tooth in order for the veneer to fit properly without adding bulk. That's the downside to getting veneers, but only a tiny amount of enamel is removed. Because enamel doesn’t re-grow, though, it does mean that the tooth will always need to be covered with a veneer or crown going forward. Veneers are less invasive than getting dental crowns. Receiving a crown requires that enamel be removed from the entire surface of your tooth rather than from just the front.

Long-lasting

Porcelain veneers in Edmonton can, when placed by a qualified and professional staff at a dental clinic near you, last for 20 years as long as you do two things: take care of the health of your underlying tooth and its surrounding gums; and avoid some bad habits. If you develop gum disease adjacent to the veneered tooth or tooth decay on the unprotected surfaces of your tooth, you can lose tooth matter that will undermine the integrity of your veneer. To protect your veneer, brush and floss daily, visit your dentist every six months and get all recommended dental treatment.

Veneers don’t fix dental flaws, but they hide them. If the most prominent teeth in your mouth are healthy, but flawed, ask a dentist near you if you’re a good candidate for veneers to hide those flaws and to help you project a flawless smile.
