One of our best assets is the smile we offer to friends, family, co-workers, and people we pass on the street or in the mall. But for many, that smile isn’t as big as we would like because of the embarrassment and self-consciousness due to the condition of our teeth. But that can quickly change thanks to a dental procedure known as veneers now offered by your Dallas dental provider.
Some of the dental deficiencies that can be resolved with dental veneers include:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Misalignment
- Crooked teeth or unsightly gaps or spaces between teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Worn enamel
- Wear and tear due to age
Veneers are a thin shell like covering usually made from porcelain that are made to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth. Your cosmetic dentist can aid you in determining exactly the look you wish to achieve by customizing your dental veneers to exact specifications.

If you wish to brighten your smile, veneers can be placed on one or several teeth to give you the dazzling bright smile you’ve always wanted.
If you are unhappy with your smile due to stain or discoloration of your teeth from diet, medications, smoking or aging teeth, your cosmetic dentist can demonstrate how a couple short visits can enhance your smile.
For many who thought years of wearing braces was the only way to improve their smile, dental veneers can appear to straighten your teeth or close those gaps in a couple of weeks, not years.
Your cosmetic dentist will assess your particular situation to determine if you are a good candidate for dental veneers. Once through this process, you will consult with your cosmetic dentist to discuss the look you wish to achieve to determine how many veneers will be needed.
Once your veneers are ready and the big day has arrived for your new smile, your cosmetic dentist will remove a very small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth. The veneers are permanently applied to the front of your teeth, and since so little of your enamel is actually affected, this makes placing dental veneers a much less invasive dental procedure, with glorious results.
The care of your dental veneers involves the same good oral hygiene habits as your natural teeth which include flossing daily and brushing at least twice per day with toothpaste or gel. Twice annual visits to our dentist for professional cleaning and dental exams will keep your new stunning smile your best asset for many, many years.
