Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain. They fit over your tooth like an artificial nail fits over a natural fingernail. Veneers in Chicago are ideal for anyone who would like an aesthetically appealing smile. There are many times in which you might consider dental veneers. One time is if you have stains that would not be lifted even with professional teeth whitening. Stains caused by smoking or tobacco use, exposure to high levels of fluoride or certain medicines cannot be lifted with teeth bleaching solutions. Veneers cover the stains and provide you with a brighter and whiter smile.
Perhaps you have a discolored tooth after receiving root canal treatment or after experiencing an injury to the tooth. A veneer covers the tooth so that it more closely matches your neighboring natural teeth. Discolorations caused by medical or dental treatments can also be corrected with veneers.
You might also consider a dental veneer to correct a tooth with a small chip. If it is just a tiny chip that does not affect the tooth’s structure or function, a veneer corrects the cosmetic problem. A minor surface crack may also be helped by a dental veneer.
If you have a gap between two teeth, fitting veneers over them closes the gap. You may have a gummy smile, which is one that shows more of your pink gum tissue than you would like to have visible. A set of veneers covers up some of the gum tissue and shows off your teeth.
