Fix Cosmetic Defects and Improve your Smile with Dental Veneers

Veneers are a conservative way to modify the shape color and position of your teeth. Most everybody is a good candidate for veneers let’s say you have teeth that are a little discolored, are a little out of position we can modify the position a little bit we can make it brighter and whiter if you want a little longer we can do that too. For the most part there is a couple of different ways we can do veneers. We can do minimal preparation veneers, means your teeth are a little discolored. You want it brighter and whiter – minimal changes to the tooth structure and we are having the veneers med to sit directly on the tooth. Very conservative, very minimal.

The other option would be traditional veneers meaning maybe my front teeth are too far back or maybe I have got a couple of rotated teeth but I don’t want to do braces but I want nice straight teeth, whiter teeth. We can make the teeth that look like they are 45 degrees look straight, and we have got some spaces we have to close, then we have got some missing teeth, we can do more of a hybrid of a crown and a veneer, do a little more tooth structure and then we start getting into whole smile design.

So from start to finish we can generally have a new smile for you in about 3 to 4 weeks. The majority of cases we do, we do upper teeth for the simple reason when you smile most of which you see are upper teeth, but that does not mean we don’t do lower teeth. But it all depends on each person. Some people don’t even show any upper teeth at all, all they show is bottom teeth. Patient will come in with teeth that are not in ideal position so we are talking about ok what do we want, we want straighter teeth we want whiter teeth we want longer shorter – when we started the process we take the impressions and we start talking about expectations and goals. We send it to the lab and then we get a model. We evaluate this and we compare what we started with and where we are going to go and then we are done and it takes us 3 to 4 weeks to kind of get there, and so we can take the case that may look pretty good and make it look awesome and it does not always have to be drastic we can do that we can make some simple changes and make everything match and blend together really nicely. So if you are happy with the position you are happy with the shape and everything that is where the minimal preparation veneers would come in. we can get them as white as you want. If your teeth are really dark that is where we are going to do some veneers where we can block out some of that darker coloring and get you that shade that you want.

People are usually very self-conscious about the way they look and so one of the benefits that I see with the veneers is the boost in self-confidence and awareness just watching them kind of light up once we give them that new smile and then when we see them back it is kind of like such a huge difference in my life and we love doing that for people.
