Dental Veneers: Pros and Cons

Dental veneers are thin pieces of tooth-colored porcelain cemented to the front surfaces of your natural teeth, and are an easy way to address a variety of physical and aesthetic problems. Because they're also permanent, however, you'll need to carefully weigh the pros and cons of the procedure before you decide to get them. Here are six things to think about and discuss with your dentist.

Pro #1: Easily Whiten Your Smile
Years of drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes or eating highly pigmented foods eventually take their toll on your teeth, turning them an unattractive shade of yellow or brown. Stained enamel can be bleached at home or by your dentist, but it can become stained again. If you're looking for an easier way to whiten your smile for good, dental veneers may be a good fit for you. Veneers are largely stain-resistant, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), so you won't have to worry about discoloration or needing to have your veneers whitened.

Dental Veneers

A New Smile in Only Two Visits!

If you have put off achieving the smile of your dreams because you thought your embarrassing dental problems were beyond the reach of even modern technology, you can stop frowning and start smiling right now! Porcelain veneers can correct the unsightly problems of misshapen teeth, deep discoloration, and wide gaps in just two visits! Our veneers are thin, but very durable sheets of dental ceramic that are bonded to natural teeth for a quick and easy new smile! We also use veneers to correct chipped, cracked, or worn teeth. The veneer is placed over the defect, completely covering and reshaping the tooth. It is made to match the color of other teeth to look very natural.

White Dental Fillings

Fillings Without Metal

Amalgam fillings of silver-mercury have been the common material used for filling most dental caries for a number of years. It is not the most functional material, as metal does not bond well to a natural tooth. This allows for decay to eventually set in. Patients especially don't like the appearance of dark fillings in light teeth, which are very noticeable when smiling or speaking. 

We do not use metal fillings at our practice. We have selected modern composite resin fillings that contain no metal and can be made to match the shade of the tooth. They bond tightly to teeth and provide additional strength to the remaining tooth structure. The tight and lasting bond helps to prevent decay from setting in or around the filling.
