Have you seen people with a smile that looks so perfect and wonderful and wish, “Gee, I wish my smile looked like that”? If you would like a better smile, dental veneers are an incredible option. At New Braunfels Dental Arts, Dr. Alvis, Dr. Levo and Dr. Farn is happy to provide a tooth veneer or dental veneers option if:
- Your teeth are off color or not a uniform color due to several factors like medication or genetics.
- You have large fillings made from resin that have dulled or stained your tooth or teeth.
- Your teeth have become worn down, splintered, broken or cracked.
- Your teeth are not shaped symmetrically.
A tooth veneer or dental veneers, sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates, are very thin shells of tooth-colored materials that are custom-made for you. These cover the front surface of a tooth/teeth to complete the tooth or smile.
How Veneers Transform Your Smile!
These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shapes, sizes, or length to make your smile symmetrical and straight. Veneers are matched specifically to your own tooth color, so they make your smile beautiful without making it obvious that you have had dental work.
A tooth veneer or dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from resin composite materials. Both materials have their own particular advantages, so you will need to discuss the best choice of tooth veneer or dental veneers material for you with your dentist.
Advantages of Dental Veneers
A tooth veneer or dental veneers offer the following advantages:
- They look like natural teeth and complete your smile.
- Porcelain usually does not irritate gum tissue.
- Porcelain veneers are almost impossible to stain or discolor.
- You can choose a whiter color for the veneer, but this would probably only work if you get veneers on all your teeth that show. Dr. Alvis, Dr. Levo and Dr. Farn can partner with you to make the best decision for this.
