Dental Flaws Veneers Can Conceal

Did you know that many of your favorite Hollywood celebrities have undergone veneer treatment to create a red-carpet-ready smile? You, too, can have a dazzling smile with veneers.

Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and change the look of your smile. Veneers can cover up a multitude of flaws with your teeth:

  • A nonuniform smile
  • Misaligned teeth
  • Unevenly shaped teeth
  • Discoloration or staining
  • Gaps or spaces between teeth
  • Worn or chipped teeth
  • Older restorations

The Veneers Process

You can expect to visit our Chesterfield, MO dental office at least twice to prepare the teeth and to place the veneers. During your first visit, Dr. Mahlin will prepare your teeth by removing someSmiling older couple with veneers in Chesterfield, MO of the surfaces to make room for the veneers and to avoid having the veneers look too thick. He will take an impression of your teeth to send to the laboratory for fabrication. You and Dr. Mahlin will also decide on the exact size, shape, contours, and shade of the veneers.

During your second appointment, Dr. Mahlin will use bonding cement and a special light beam to attach the veneers to your teeth. The veneer process will immediately transform your smile into one you want to show the world.

Caring for your veneers is no different from caring for your natural teeth. Practice good home care with diligent brushing and flossing, and routine dental visits for checkups and cleanings. We recommend you avoid using a whitening toothpaste on your veneers. Not only are veneers naturally stain-resistant, but whitening toothpaste could scratch them.
