Tooth Veneers

A dental veneer is a thin, durable porcelain shell bonded by your dentist to the front of a tooth that needs a light cosmetic makeover. Well-made veneers are indistinguishable from natural teeth, with the added benefit that they will not become discolored from coffee, tea, tobacco, berries, or other stain-producing foods. Veneers are also not susceptible to the thinning of enamel that occurs with age on natural tooth surfaces.

When you look at your teeth in the mirror, do you see minor imperfections? If so, the good news is that, with veneers, you can repair these defects, without resorting to crowns (caps). Veneers require much less reduction of teeth than do caps, yet they are custom-made in a dental laboratory specifically to look natural and healthy while blending in with your other teeth. Veneers can give you a new smile.

Certain teeth have discolored areas or stains.
One or more of your teeth have small chips.
Some of your teeth have been worn down.
There is a noticeable gap between your two front teeth, or between other teeth.
Some of your teeth are crooked, but not so much that orthodontics is needed.
Some of your teeth need to be lengthened to go with the adjacent teeth.
Your teeth are generally uneven, in size, shape or color. They just don’t go together visually.

Let Dr. Wojtkun know if there are any spots that are snagging your floss. We can polish that snag.
Use a non-abrasive toothpaste, to avoid dulling the finish of the veneers.
Avoid anything sharp, like pins, coming into contact with your veneers.
Avoid opening things with your teeth.
Do not bite on metal.
Wear an athletic mouth guard for playing sports.
Do not let food stay on your teeth for extended lengths of time, especially carbohydrates. Rinse or brush after eating.
