6 Smile Flaws Resolved by Veneers, Including Discolored Teeth!

Your smile should be a picture of health and beauty. If it’s anything less, you could be a candidate for veneers. Porcelain veneers can resolve a myriad of cosmetic dental issues in a single treatment, creating your best smile. Dr. Colby Echols from Swan Dental in Tucson, Arizona, is the person to see for teeth veneers near me.

In this post, we explore six smile flaws resolved by veneers:

1. Discolored Teeth

At Swan Dental, we offer top-tier, in-office dental whitening to anyone who wants to eliminate stains or dental discoloration. Not all stains, however, respond well to whitening. If the stains on your teeth can’t be bleached, we can still erase them with veneers! Porcelain veneers for discolored teeth will not only restore your smile’s gleam for the present, but they’ll also keep your smile looking its best for years without having to touch up your teeth in between.

2. Minor Tooth Damage

Veneers are an ideal way to cover small chips and cracks that not only make your teeth look bad but also increase your risk of cavities. Even a small hole in your enamel can allow bacteria to seep into the pulp and infect your tooth’s nerve. Veneers seal the chips and cracks to make your smile stronger and more attractive at the same time.

3. Odd-Sized/Misshapen Teeth

A few teeth that are different in shape or size are all it takes to throw your smile off balance. By placing veneers on odd-sized or misshapen teeth, Dr. Echols can make your smile look uniform and even. You’ll notice the difference immediately when you look in the mirror!

4. Gaps Between Teeth

Small gaps between teeth can often be remedied by applying veneers to the teeth on either side of the gap. This naturally closes the gap, making it appear as if it was never there! Gaps between teeth can become breeding grounds for bacteria because they’re difficult to keep clean. Closing those gaps with veneers can reduce the risk of cavities.  

5. Minor Tooth Misalignments

If your teeth are moderately or severely crooked, it’s best to see an orthodontist. For teeth that are only slightly misaligned or uneven, Dr. Colby may recommend veneers. Veneers can give you the appearance of a straight, even smile without braces or aligners. Your teeth won’t actually be moved into a straighter position, but they’ll certainly appear aligned and even. 

6. Worn-Down Teeth

Teeth can wear down over time simply from years of use. Habits like teeth grinding, chewing on ice, and chomping on pencils and pens also contribute to worn tooth enamel. Your enamel can’t be replaced, but veneers can cover the wear and tear and “build up” worn teeth to improve your smile’s overall appearance.
