Understanding Veneers
A veneer is a thin restoration fitted over the visible surface of a tooth. Because it changes what you see rather than rebuilding the whole tooth, a veneer is only one of several ways to approach a cosmetic concern - tooth-colored restorations or a dental crown may be more appropriate in some situations.
Color
Discoloration that has not responded to other approaches.
Chips and wear
Visible edges that have chipped or worn down over time.
Small spaces
Gaps between certain teeth, where treatment is appropriate.
Is Veneer Treatment Appropriate for You?
Assessment comes first. Veneers are a considered treatment rather than an automatic answer to a cosmetic concern, and some patients are better served by another option. Dr. Morgan reviews:
- The health of your gums and supporting tissues
- The condition and amount of remaining tooth structure
- How your teeth meet and any signs of wear or grinding
- Any existing restorations on the teeth involved
- What you would like to change and why
- Whether an alternative treatment may suit you better
