What Can Dental Veneers Fix?

Today, I’m going to share with you what dental veneers can fix.

Hi, my name is Dr Alice Hoang, and I’m one of the dentists here at Delight Dental Spa in Mascot, NSW.

Yesterday I spoke with one of our patients Sheena from Mascot, who wants her crooked teeth fixed with dental veneers. Her graduation was coming up and wants to achieve her most perfect smile. This is actually a usual situation where most of our patients don’t realise that veneers can be a possible option when it comes to achieving both health and beauty for your teeth.

So, what can veneers actually do for your smile?

Great question! They’re like little smile superheroes, fixing and masking various dental issues. Veneers are perfect for dealing with gaps between teeth. If you’ve got a little extra space that you’d like to close up, veneers can be your go-to solution.

Also, if you have teeth that are slightly overlapping, or not quite lining up as you’d like them to, veneers can step in to correct that. They can give your smile a more aligned and even look.

Are you noticing changes in the shape of your teeth? Maybe worn-down edges or a tooth that’s longer on one side? That’s where veneers swoop in again. They can restore worn edges and give your teeth a more proportioned appearance.

Veneers are also perfect for dealing with minor discolourations. You can achieve a natural white or even a bright Hollywood smile. It’s all about your personal preference!

Secondly, the proportions of your teeth also matter when it comes to an attractive smile. For example, if your canine teeth are too long or too pointy, or your lateral incisor tooth seems too small, veneers can step in to give your smile a more harmonious look.

Now let’s talk about a wider smile. Imagine less dark space in the corners of your smile. Even if you have straight teeth, but feel your smile is a bit narrow, veneers can help with that too. We call that the buccal corridor, where you only see the front teeth and it looks like you’re missing the back ones. Well, veneers can create a wider, fuller smile, so it doesn’t look like your back teeth are missing anymore.

So, you might wonder, are we talking about porcelain or composite veneers? Good point!

Composite veneers can indeed do similar things as porcelain. They come with the advantage of being more budget-friendly. But they require more upkeep. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, keep their colour for a long time and can last up to 15-20 years.

As you can see, there are a lot of things dental veneers can fix. I hope you found this video useful.
