Teeth whitening treatments help people affected by stains that discolor their enamel. However, the whitening agents can prove less useful when someone wants to deal with internal problems that change the color of their teeth. Under these circumstances, we can recommend the placement of porcelain veneers. With veneers in place, your smile can look brighter, and you can be free of blemishes that are caused by past trauma, certain medications, or the erosion of your enamel.
Teeth grinding is a common response to stress, but when it becomes a nightly issue it can lead to alarming dental damage. To cover up wear and tear, or even chips and cracks in your enamel, your dentist can restore your smile with veneers. Because veneers occupy less space than dental crowns, the preparatory work needed for their placement is reduced. These thin shells are still capable of providing exciting improvements that make teeth appear younger and healthier, which means you can be free of anxiety about visible harm caused by bruxism!
Cosmetic flaws are not always the result of injuries, wear and tear, or similar issues. Many people simply have issues with the alignment, shape, or size of their teeth that leave them less than thrilled by their appearance. After examining your smile and seeing how these issues affect you, your dentist can determine if they can be addressed with veneers. In addition to changing the shape and size of a tooth, a veneer can actually help hide some issues with poor alignment. If this is the case for you, then veneers can work as an alternative to orthodontic treatment, one that requires less time to produce results.
Elm Creek Dental is ready to help patients who feel self-conscious about the way they look because of dental flaws. In many situations, veneers can prove to be an effective answer to the problems that make people unhappy with the way that they look. To find out if this approach to cosmetic work is right for you, call our dentist’s office in Maple Grove, MN, at 763-416-0606.
