Porcelain veneers: An alternative to orthodontic treatment

8/30/2020

If you’d like to straighten your smile you may want to consider porcelain veneers as an option. A cosmetic dentist can use porcelain veneers to correct minor misalignments of the teeth in cases when braces may not be necessary. Choosing veneers can save you the time and discomfort often associated with wearing traditional braces.

Veneers often are used to fill in gaps between teeth, and they can add length or width to a tooth that is noticeably lacking in those dimensions. Porcelain veneers can be placed atop multiple teeth to smooth out uneven stretches of the smile that include teeth that either recede or protrude from the others. Porcelain veneers can be designed to match the natural shade of your teeth, so they won’t stand out when incorporated into your smile.

Before placing the veneers, your cosmetic dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from your teeth, and that layer will be replaced by the porcelain that is bonded to the natural tooth material. With technological advances, veneers are getting thinner and thinner, meaning that more of the natural tooth can be preserved.
​
It’s important to remember that veneers can only be used to remedy minor issues. If your teeth are significantly crooked, veneers alone might not be an option for straightening them. Check with a cosmetic dentist in Dallas to see if veneers will work for you.
