If you don’t like the look of your smile, cosmetic dentistry has many options that might help you, and porcelain veneers may be one of the options you want to discuss with your dentist. So, what are dental veneers, and what dental issues can they fix?
What Is a Dental Veneer?
A dental veneer is a layer of material, usually porcelain, that the dentist adheres to the front side of your tooth.
Veneers are designed to improve the appearance of your teeth if you have any of the following dental concerns:
- Crooked teeth
- Misaligned or misshapen teeth
- Gaps in your teeth
Can Veneers Fix Crooked Teeth?
Veneers are intended to cover dental issues and make your smile look better but are not designed as orthodontic treatment. Therefore, braces may be your best option for bite problems or other orthodontic concerns.
Are You a Candidate for Veneers?
Your dentist can tell you if you would benefit from veneers, but as a rule, veneers work best in the front of your mouth. You will also need good oral health to be a candidate for veneers.
