5 Smile Flaws Easily Corrected with Veneers

A confident smile can leave a lasting impression, but many people feel self-conscious because of tooth imperfections. Fortunately, our dental team, led by Brian Goodman, DDS, and Tanner Goodman, DMD, at Goodman Dental Center offers a modern cosmetic dentistry solution: veneers.

These thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or composite resin bond to the front of your teeth, dramatically improving your smile in just a few visits. Veneers are versatile, durable, and an ideal option for correcting a variety of common dental flaws.

Here are five smile imperfections that veneers can easily fix:

1. Discoloration

Teeth stains and discoloration can result from various factors, such as aging, smoking, drinking coffee and wine, or even taking certain medications. While teeth whitening can help, it may not work for all stains, particularly deep or intrinsic ones. 

Veneers offer a long-lasting solution for achieving a bright, white smile. They cover up stained teeth, allowing you to choose the exact shade of white you want without worrying about the limitations of whitening products.

2. Chipped or cracked teeth

Accidents, grinding, or everyday wear-and-tear can cause your teeth to chip or crack over time. Even minor chips can affect your smile's appearance and, in some cases, lead to further damage if left untreated. 

Veneers can easily mask these imperfections, restoring your tooth’s shape and providing additional protection. With veneers, your smile can look whole and polished, and the material we use can strengthen and support the affected tooth.

3. Gaps between teeth

Gaps are common and can make some people feel self-conscious. While orthodontics can close gaps, veneers offer a faster alternative. 

By customizing the size and shape of the veneers, we can close these spaces, giving you a more uniform and aligned appearance. Veneers offer a noninvasive way to achieve a gap-free smile in just a few visits.

4. Uneven or worn teeth

Teeth grinding (bruxism) and natural wear-and-tear can cause your teeth to become uneven, making your smile look aged and unbalanced. Veneers are an excellent option for evening out the shape of your teeth, creating a smoother, more symmetrical smile. 

They can also protect your teeth from further wear, especially if you grind them or experience excessive enamel erosion.

5. Misshapen teeth

Some people are born with teeth that are naturally misshapen or smaller than average. These imperfections can throw off the overall balance of your smile. 

Veneers, however, can reshape your teeth, creating a more proportional and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Whether you need to lengthen or widen your teeth, veneers can achieve the ideal shape to enhance your smile.

Veneers offer a highly effective and long-lasting solution for correcting cosmetic dental issues. To learn more, schedule an appointment at our Queen Creek, Arizona, office today by calling 480-807-4000, or book online when you’re ready.
