Who Can Benefit From Porcelain Veneers?

Discoloration and stains

While many patients will consider teeth whitening and bleaching to address stained and discolored teeth, sometimes it may not remove the discoloration. This can happen if the stains are deep and internal. When teeth do not respond to teeth-whitening solutions, porcelain veneers can cover up these imperfections.

Crooked and misaligned teeth

While many know that orthodontics can help align teeth into more desired positions, sometimes the cost to align just a few crooked teeth may be outside of one’s realistic expectations and financial reach. However, veneers can be bonded to the front of a tooth to give it the appearance of straight alignment. This often makes much more sense than undergoing months of orthodontic treatment to realign a single tooth.

Smile makeovers

Patients who want a completely new smile may find that porcelain veneers are the best way to accomplish this. Veneers can be made in a new shape, size, and color and used to change all the teeth near the front of the mouth, resulting in a total smile makeover. Patients who have lived with a smile that has hurt their self-confidence and caused embarrassment may be at a point where they have the resources to obtain that perfect smile. Veneers can make that happen!
