Veneer Placement

Veneer placement is best for those with:

Enamel worn beyond repair – The hard enamel tooth coating can be damaged by dietary habits, genetics and medications. If the damage or discolouration is so substantial that laser whitening will not restore the tooth to its natural beauty, veneers are a good option.

Uneven or unaligned teeth – Uneven teeth are a cause of embarrassment and low self-esteem for some. Braces can be used to align teeth, but are not suitable in all situations. Your cosmetic dentist will determine whether orthodontic alignment or veneers are a better choice for you.

Chipped teeth – Chipped or deeply cracked teeth respond well to veneers. The veneer can actually prevent further damage by protecting the tooth with its hard coating.

Spreading teeth – As we age, genetics cause the spacing between our teeth to grow further apart. This can cause embarrassing gaps between the teeth. Since the veneer is placed over the natural tooth, it is often a good option and negates the need for more invasive techniques such as implants.
