VENEERS

Veneers are used as a dental option to correct color and shape problems in teeth. They give you a brighter, whiter smile and can also adjust minor problems such as gaps, chips, or cracks. Some of these problems are the result of:

-Aging
-Genetics
-Staining or discoloration
-Excessive tobacco use
-Chemical damage from medications

Veneers use a thin, but durable, a layer of porcelain material to cover the teeth. Even though the material is thin, it’s strong enough to last for many years if properly cared for. Porcelain veneer is used to:

-Improve tooth shape
-Whiten teeth
-Hide stains and discoloration
-Correct the gaps between teeth

Sometimes, for a beautiful smile, the size of teeth and their relation to each other and the gums play a significant role in esthetic smile design. There are times that special gum surgeries may be required for optimal results. Some of these surgical adjustments can be done by Laser and some with more conventional techniques. There may also be times when full crown coverage may work better than veneer for you. Dr. Hamidzadeh can make assessments and help you decide on a treatment that best works for you.
