Do you have crooked or damaged teeth? There are different options you can use to improve your smile. The most popular options currently available in the dentistry world are the use of crowns or veneers. Dental veneers have been gaining popularity fast, with most people considering them a faster and cheaper alternative.

At Dental Prosthodontics of Rochester we have a special team that focuses on dental veneer installation. The team is well-trained and has a lot of experience handling veneer procedures. Before our dentist starts on any veneer installation procedure, they always examine the magnitude of the damage before recommending the best solution.

Veneers

Dental veneers refer to thin covers applied on the tooth's front surface. Veneers can be made of either composite resin or porcelain materials. Dental veneers are not invasive like dental crowns since their application will leave your natural tooth intact. Our dentist will remove up to half a millimeter of enamel from the tooth surface to ensure the veneer bonds well. After its application, the dental veneer will help improve your smile.

What Problems Can Veneers Correct?

Discolored Teeth

Dental veneers cover the front tooth surface, restoring your bright smile. One great benefit of using dental veneers is that you can personalize the white shade you desire.

Gaps

The use of braces is known to be a popular method of treating gaps within the teeth. In the recent past, more people have preferred to use dental veneers to help treat gaps since they are very easy to apply and effective. Veneers help in avoiding unsightly appearance together with the inconvenience that comes with wearing braces.

Teeth Overcrowding

Dental veneers will help in fixing crowded teeth. Our dentists will file the tooth enamel down before applying porcelain on top. This will help in resizing and reshaping the teeth to the right proportions.

Broken or Chipped Teeth

Dental veneers will cover the teeth protecting the real tooth from further damage. It will also help strengthen the real tooth by offering an extra material layer.
