Feel more confident smiling with the help of porcelain veneers.
Want to make drastic improvements to your appearance? If so, dental veneers may be the best way to get the smile you’ve always wanted. Our Huntsville, AL, dentist Dr. Michael Pugh can help you achieve your dream smile, no matter whether you are dealing with discolored, chipped, or slightly crooked teeth. These custom porcelain shells can work magic for your smile, giving you the set of teeth you’ve always wanted but never had. Here are the main esthetic problems that porcelain veneers could help you fix.
Shape
Many people who aren’t happy with their smiles feel that way because their teeth aren’t perfectly symmetrical. Some teeth may be chipped or uneven. Some teeth may be worn down or shorter than others due to teeth grinding. If you’ve been born with abnormally shaped teeth or you have issues with the symmetry of your smile, veneers can help to reshape all of your teeth to make them rounder or squarer.
Size
Do you have what is called a “gummy smile," where teeth are shorter than normal and your gums are unnaturally prominent? If so, you may feel like your smile is out of proportion. Our Huntsville, AL, dental team understands that this can make you feel self-conscious. The good news is that dental veneers are custom-crafted to provide you with the ideal size that you want for your smile. This can help lengthen teeth quickly and easily.
Color
While there are a variety of cosmetic options on the market that can help to remove surface stains, if you are dealing with deep stains caused by antibiotic use then these stains may not respond as effectively to professional teeth whitening. In this case, the best way to get a whiter smile may be to get dental veneers here in Huntsville, AL. These shells can be matched to the ideal shade that you want for your smile, to give you vibrant but natural results.
Alignment
Do you have a gap between your front teeth? Are your teeth just slightly off-kilter or crooked? If so, you may have assumed that the only way to fix these issues is with braces. Of course, we understand that some of our older patients may not be too keen on wearing braces. In this case, veneers may be able to give you a straighter smile without ever needing braces.
