Small chips and fractures in a tooth can be masked from view thanks to customized dental veneers. The damage to the tooth will no longer be visible, allowing you to smile with complete confidence.

Some dental stains and discoloration affect layers of the tooth deep beneath the enamel. The dental veneer will effectively conceal discolored tissue that doesn't respond to whitening.

Unsightly gaps between your front teeth can be treated with dental veneers instead of braces. It's a faster and more convenient cosmetic alternative to undergoing a lengthy orthodontic treatment.

Instead of orthodontic treatment, veneers can also be used to treat teeth that are slightly crooked or askew. For this reason, dental veneers are sometimes called "instant orthodontics."

Even if you have straight teeth, they may not be uniform in shape or appearance. Veneers can conceal tooth asymmetry, giving you a smile that looks properly aligned and proportioned.
How Porcelain Veneers Work
The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are a versatile treatment that has helped everyone from Hollywood A-listers to people you probably encounter in everyday life to achieve attractive smiles. Patients turn to this solution because of its many important benefits:
Versatility
Porcelain veneers can be used to treat numerous problems affecting your most visible teeth. With custom veneers in place, your smile can look pristine.Durability
Dental veneers are made of durable porcelain. This allows patients to bite and chew normally without worrying about damaging the material.Stain Resistance
The porcelain used to make veneers is resistant to stains. Patients often elect to whiten their teeth before undergoing treatment so that the veneers can be matched to their bright new shade.Long-Lasting
With proper care and good oral hygiene, veneers can last 10 years or longer.Natural Appearance
Veneers are crafted to be semi-translucent, just like natural teeth. When in place, veneers blend in with your smile and are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.Porcelain Veneers Placed by a Leading Cosmetic Dentist

A veneer is a porcelain restoration that is used to cover the front of one or more teeth. At the Center for Advanced Dentistry, Dr. Bixby uses veneers to cover up stained or chipped teeth. Veneers are a more conservative option than crowns because they don't require as much alteration to the natural tooth structure.

In order to make your veneers last for many years to come, it's important to practice good oral hygiene and take other measures:

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush with a small head. Soft bristles prevent undue wear on the porcelain material. The small head helps you achieve a thorough clean, even in hard-to-reach areas.

Non-abrasive gel toothpastes are ideal for cleaning teeth and restorations without doing unintentional damage. This type of toothpaste can help your veneers look great for years to come.

Regular checkups every six months allow your dentist to monitor your dental health as well as the condition of your dental veneers. When they need to be replaced, your dentist will let you know.

Dental veneers can fracture as a result of trauma. Be sure to wear a helmet or mouth protection when playing sports, riding a bike, or performing other activities that carry a risk of trauma.

Dental veneers won't become stained from cigarettes or chewing tobacco, but it will affect your natural teeth and gums. Kick the habit for good in order to maintain a healthy smile foundation.

In addition to quitting smoking, be sure to end other bad habits such as nail biting, chewing pen caps, and crunching on ice cubes. These bad habits can all place your veneers at risk of failure or breakage.
