Dental Veneers: Pros and Cons

Dental veneers are thin pieces of tooth-colored porcelain cemented to the front surfaces of your natural teeth, and are an easy way to address a variety of physical and aesthetic problems. Because they're also permanent, however, you'll need to carefully weigh the pros and cons of the procedure before you decide to get them. Here are six things to think about and discuss with your dentist.

Pro #1: Easily Whiten Your Smile
Years of drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes or eating highly pigmented foods eventually take their toll on your teeth, turning them an unattractive shade of yellow or brown. Stained enamel can be bleached at home or by your dentist, but it can become stained again. If you're looking for an easier way to whiten your smile for good, dental veneers may be a good fit for you. Veneers are largely stain-resistant, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), so you won't have to worry about discoloration or needing to have your veneers whitened.

A Quick-and-Easy Smile Makeover

Veneers provide a uniform and attractive smile in as few as two visits! What looks like years of orthodontic treatment can be achieved in less time than you ever thought possible. Our porcelain veneers are very durable and will conceal or correct the problems of gaps, crooked or misshaped teeth, and severe staining and discoloration. They bond to your natural teeth to create that perfect smile you've always wanted.

Veneers can also be the solution for a chip or cracked tooth. They are applied to the remaining tooth structure to give you a natural-looking tooth that will blend with your other teeth, as the color of the veneer can be matched extremely well.
