Signs It's Time to Consider Veneers

Veneers hide tooth imperfections, which is why they’re so popular and one of the most common cosmetic dental treatments. If you’ve been side-eyeing your reflection or skipping the front-facing camera, it might be time to give your smile a little more love.
Schedule an evaluation with Winnie Nguyen, DDS, and her Ridge Commons Family Dentistry staff today to learn more about dental veneers and if they’re right for you.
Dental veneer basics
Veneers are tooth-like shells made of high-quality, natural-looking, and sturdy dental materials that bond securely to the front and side of your natural teeth. They cover any imperfections to create a beautiful, flawless smile. Veneers camouflage cosmetic flaws, and even help prevent further tooth damage. With proper care, dental veneers can last up to 15 years.
When to consider dental veneers
Here are a few reasons to consider veneers at Ridge Commons Family Dentistry:
-
Smile embarrassment
If you avoid smiling because you’re self-conscious about your pearly whites, veneers may be the perfect solution. They’re a simple way to hide minor tooth flaws without breaking the bank or requiring downtime.
2. Minor tooth flaws
Examples of minor tooth damage that veneers can mask include chips, cracks, breaks, and teeth that are jagged, misshapen, too small, worn down, or dull.
So, if you have minor flaws that warrant covering up, consider veneers at Ridge Commons Family Dentistry. However, if you experience significant tooth damage, you may need other restorative dental treatments, such as crowns, bridges, dental implants, or dentures.
3. Persistent staining
While teeth whitening is also available at Ridge Commons Family Dentistry, veneers are an alternative option for a brighter smile — especially if you have staining that hasn’t responded well to traditional in-office or at-home teeth whitening.
4. Crooked or gapped teeth
If your teeth are gapped or crooked, especially if they’re also mildly damaged, veneers offer an exceptional solution. They can eliminate gaps and create straighter-looking teeth, along with the gorgeous smile of your dreams. Invisalign® at Ridge Common Family Dentistry is also an option for correcting misaligned or crooked teeth.
5. No oral health concerns
It might be time to consider veneers if you desire flawless teeth and don’t have any signs of oral health issues, such as tooth decay or gum disease. The good news is that even if you struggle with these common dental concerns, Dr. Nguyen can treat them to make you eligible for flawless dental veneers.
