Veneers, thin porcelain shells that cover the front surfaces of your teeth, are a game-changer when it comes to transforming your smile. Whether you’re dealing with chipped teeth or discoloration, veneers can give you the flawless smile you’ve always wanted — and they’re available at Dr. Darj Dental in El Paso, Texas.
Here, Mehrnoosh Darj, DDS, zeros in on five smile flaws that veneers can correct easily.
Tooth chips and cracks aren’t uncommon, but not addressing them can cause problems. Left untreated, chips and cracks can cut your tongue, cheeks, or lips, can create a path for bacteria to enter your teeth, and can change the aesthetics of your smile.
Depending on which tooth is chipped and the severity of the chip, Dr. Darj may recommend bonding, a crown, or veneers. A custom-made veneer can cover the damage and restore your tooth to its original shape and strength.
Stained teeth are among the most common dental complaints, and there are many reasons why your teeth aren’t pearly white. Food, beverages, and even medications can leave your teeth yellow or even brown.
Veneers can instantly brighten your smile by covering up stains with a thin, porcelain shell that looks just like a natural tooth.
The best part is that veneers can brighten any smile — even those that don’t respond to professional in-office teeth whitening — because they simply cover over the existing stains.
Custom-made veneers can cover small gaps between your front teeth without the need for braces. This creates the illusion of a straight, even smile.
Veneers can’t address large gaps or malocclusion. If that’s the case, Dr. Darj may recommend ClearCorrect® clear aligners instead.
While many people have symmetrical and evenly shaped teeth, it’s not uncommon to have a tooth that doesn’t doesn’t fit in with the rest.
Veneers can address misshapen teeth, covering them in a way that makes them blend in smoothly with the rest of your smile. That’s because every aspect of your veneers are customized, including their shape!
If your teeth appear too small, veneers can make them look larger and more proportionate. Dr. Darj takes this into consideration when designing your veneers.
By covering your existing teeth with custom-designed veneers, she can create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
With veneers, you can correct these common smile flaws with long-term results. Studies show that 91% of veneers are still going strong at the 20-year mark.
If you’re tired of trying to hide your teeth behind a closed-lipped smile, it’s time to explore the benefits of veneers for yourself, and it all starts with your consultation with Dr. Darj.
During this one-on-one consultation, you and Dr. Darj discuss all of your smile goals, your oral health concerns, and what the veneer process is like. Dr. Darj customize the color, size, and shape of your veneers to give you a perfect smile.
If veneers are right for you, you can expect a two-appointment process. During the first appointment, Dr. Darj removes a tiny bit of enamel to make room for your new veneers and takes impressions.
Once your veneers are ready, you return to our office, and Dr. Darj permanently secures your new veneers. That’s it!
