Has your smile faded over the years, but you wish you could regain that sparkle? You are in luck! With dental veneers you can create the smile you have always wanted. Masking mild to moderate tooth discolorations, correcting minor misalignments and rotation of anterior teeth, and re-shaping peg-shaped and undersized teeth are just a few improvements porcelain veneers can provide. If you have structural problems with a tooth or problems with multiple teeth, your dentist may recommend porcelain veneers to mask dental flaws and improve the appearance of your smile. Veneers are ultra-thin, translucent laminates of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth, altering their color, size, shape and length. When Veneers are Appropriate Dental veneers may solve most or even all of your cosmetic dental issues including worn enamel, wear and tear, genetics and uneven teeth. Over time, the thin, hard, white substance covering your teeth called enamel, may become worn, dulled and discolored. This wear and discoloration may be a natural occurrence, or the result of a genetic predisposition. Worn enamel can also be the result of drinking soda, tea or coffee, as well as smoking and medication use. In addition, your teeth naturally wear down as you age, which are more likely to have chips, cracks or a generally uneven appearance. Uneven teeth can also result from tooth grinding or general wear and tear. Dental veneers are appropriate for treating all of these instances, in addition to several others.

* Eating highly pigmented foods such as cherries and blueberries
* Accumulation of tartar deposits, which result from plaque that has hardened
* Yellowing or graying of the teeth as part of the aging process
