What Cosmetic Flaws Can Porcelain Veneers Treat?

Many of us have little problems with our teeth we’d like to fix. (Though, given, sometimes even little problems can seem like major problems.) This may explain why so many people have turned to cosmetic dentistry to help enhance the overall appearance of their smile. Our Boca Raton cosmetic dentist and the staff at the office understand this desire for a better, brighter, and more attractive smile, which is one of the reasons that we offer porcelain veneers to many patients. Porcelain veneers are versatile little wonders that can make a major difference.

About Porcelain Veneers

In case you’re not sure what porcelain veneers are, let’s cover that quickly right now. Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that are fixed directly to the front facing parts of your teeth. These are color matched to your surrounding teeth to ensure that the veneers are virtually undetectable.

The Cosmetic Flaws That Porcelain Veneers Can Treat

The best thing about Boca Raton porcelain veneers is that they are so wonderfully versatile. There are many different dental problems that porcelain veneers can be used to address.

Major Stains on the Teeth

Sometimes you’ll have tooth stains that are so serious that not even professional teeth whitening will be able to fix the problem. For this, porcelain veneers are the best option. They will mask the stain from view.

Minor Chips and Cracks

Minor chips and cracks can make an otherwise good smile look less than stellar. Porcelain veneers are great for addressing these sorts of problems so long as there are no major structural issues related to the chips and cracks.

Uneven Teeth or Slight Misalignment of the Teeth

For major issues with spacing, crowding, and misalignment, Invisalign® or other kinds of orthodontic treatment are ideal. For minor misalignment, it’s better and quicker to just get porcelain veneers.
