What can veneers correct?
Gaps between teeth
When you have gaps between your teeth, you may think that the solution is to visit the orthodontist. And often this is true — but not always. Some people have gaps between almost all their teeth. This can be due to the teeth being smaller than average. Although small or widely spaced teeth still usually function well, some people are unhappy with the way they look.
Chipped teeth
Depending on how badly your teeth are chipped, you may have several options for repairing them. A small single chip in one tooth can usually be repaired with bonding. Bonding is a procedure in which the dentist attaches a piece of composite resin to your chipped tooth to restore its appearance. However, bonding is more of a temporary solution. Dental veneers last much longer, are more durable and resist staining better.
Misshapen teeth
Our dentists see patients at our Monument, CO dental clinic with oddly shaped teeth and teeth that seem shorter than what is typical. You may have a single misshapen tooth or many misshapen teeth. Porcelain veneers is a good solution for misshapen teeth.
Deeply discolored teeth
Many people today are opting for cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening to get their brightest smile. Unfortunately, tooth bleaching doesn’t work for everyone. That’s because the bleach does not penetrate deeply into the teeth — it merely bleaches out surface stains. If your teeth are stained due to a coffee or tea habit, teeth whitening usually works well. If they are stained due to medication — either medication you took or medication your mother took while she was pregnant with you — teeth bleaching will not work. Teeth bleaching is also a bad idea if you have crowns, bonding, dentures, implants or any kind of artificial tooth. Your natural teeth will become whiter, but the artificial teeth will stay the same color.
Moderately misaligned teeth
Some patients at our dental clinic in Monument, CO do not want to invest the time it takes for orthodontia to work — usually between six months and two years. They want an instantly beautiful smile, so they opt to get porcelain veneers.

Is it possible for veneers to become stained?
Although veneers are resistant to stains, they are not completely immune to them. It is important to keep in mind that certain foods and drinks, such as red wine, coffee, and tea, can stain both your natural teeth and veneers. If you do consume these items, it is recommended that you brush your teeth immediately and use a straw when drinking them.
Additionally, smoking can lead to discoloration of veneers, so quitting smoking can help prevent this. It is important to note that veneers are not permanent and will need to be replaced eventually.
Is it necessary to extract teeth for veneers?
Typically, veneers do not necessitate tooth extraction, but a few patients may require teeth cleaning prior to the procedure. In instances where teeth are misaligned, braces may be recommended by your Monument, CO dentist to rectify your bite. After alignment, veneers can be utilized to secure your teeth.
