Dental veneers are a wafer-thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front of your teeth to cover imperfections in your smile that you feel self-conscious about. If you are curious about when you might need dental veneers, what to expect during the procedure, and the benefits they offer, read on to discover more.
Dental veneers are a go-to solution for addressing a range of dental issues. You might consider veneers if you have stained, discolored or yellowing teeth that do not respond to teeth whitening. Additionally, they can help mask minor misalignments, gaps or irregularly shaped teeth, providing a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile. Veneers are also an ideal choice for restoring chipped, cracked or worn-down teeth, revitalizing your dental aesthetics and function.
Getting dental veneers is typically a straightforward process. It begins with a consultation with Dr. Ali Amiri at Melrose Dental Arts to discuss your goals and assess your dental health. Next, our dentist will remove a small layer of enamel from your teeth before taking impressions and sending them to a dental lab for custom veneer fabrication. Once ready, your veneers will be securely bonded to your teeth, and any necessary adjustments made for a perfect fit. You can expect a significant improvement in your smile’s appearance and a boost in your self-confidence.
