Are Dental Veneers Right For You?

Monday, August 31, 2015

Dental veneers are an amazing advance in cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentists have been placing dental veneers for many years and we know that they are a long lasting cosmetic option for many patients.

Many patients ask about the differences between a dental veneer and a dental crown for cosmetic dentistry. Dental crowns can, and do make teeth more beautiful but they are also a way for dentists to save a tooth that has lost much of its structure due to decay or breakage. Placing a dental crown means removing much of the remaining tooth structure above the gum line and replacing it with an artificial tooth crown or "cap".

A dental veneer, in contrast, is a very thin piece of porcelain and is used to make a tooth cosmetically more pleasing. Placing a dental veneer requires that very little of the underlying tooth be removed. Dental veneers can be used to change the color of teeth or to change the shape of a tooth that is malformed. Cosmetic dentists can even use dental veneers to close wide spaces between teeth and in some cases to correct overlaps. This is also called "instant orthodontics". The actual bite hasn't been changed but the appearance of the smile is transformed.

Porcelain veneers are extremely durable and long lasting - we have patients with dental veneers that were placed over 20 years ago and their smiles are still perfect!

Find out more about dental veneers and how they can change your smile. Please contact Dr. Kenneth A. Mogell DMD PA at 561-394-9000 today to schedule your consultation.
