Many people may be self-conscious about the state of their teeth, even if their teeth are generally healthy. Over time teeth can chip or stain, and lots of people that were never able to have braces might have gaps that they want to see eliminated. Something that can alleviate all these problems is porcelain veneers.

Made of a thin shell of porcelain ceramic that is bonded to the front of the teeth, veneers are commonly used to fix those minor imperfections many people have. They can:

• Close gaps between teeth
• Cover permanently stained teeth with a color you are satisfied with
• Cover fillings that have darkened over the years
• Fix defects, such as chips or cracks in your teeth

While porcelain veneers can mask many of the cosmetic issues you have with your teeth, once they are placed it is up to you to take care of them. With proper dental hygiene, your veneers can last for years.

If you would like to learn more about how porcelain veneers can fix your specific problem, please contact us for an initial consultation. Dr. Sands is happy to answer any of your questions.
