Can your smile benefit from veneers? A veneer is a relatively inexpensive thin shell of tooth-colored material cemented onto the front of a tooth to improve its appearance and function. Veneers can give your teeth a more natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance and are stain resistant and soft on gums. In some cases, veneers can serve a restorative purpose and can protect a damaged tooth from further harm. Porcelain veneers are a dream come true for people who have been in despair about their smile. Dr. Joanne Bancroft often sees patients wanting find out what can be done to correct a smile that has lost its luster over the years. Our patients are universally delighted to learn how effective porcelain veneers are in eliminating an embarrassing dental feature and replacing it with an engaging and brilliant smile. Porcelain veneers in Westminster are popular because they boost self esteem and confidence. This is particularly important to those who rely on a warm, friendly, and engaging smile in their career. Dr. Bancroft may recommend veneers in if you have one or more of the following dental issues:
- Discolored teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Worn down teeth
- Slightly crooked teeth
- Gapped teeth
The placement of veneers is simple: first, a small amount of enamel is removed from the front of the tooth or teeth being treated. Impressions of the tooth or teeth are taken so that the veneers can be custom made. Once the veneer is complete, our dentist will check the fit and color before permanently cementing the veneer in place. Veneers don’t require any extra care. Simply brush them twice a day and floss them once a day, as you would your regular teeth.
