5 Common Smile Issues Veneers Fix

If you have a problem with your smile, there’s a good chance that veneers can fix it. This go-to treatment is a workhorse in the dental world because it solves so many different issues. Read on to see if yours is one of them.

Whether you have a new dental problem or an issue you’ve loathed for years, veneers could be just what you need to finally have a smile you love.

And it doesn’t take months, surgery, or lengthy downtimes to get results.

Instead, veneers solve problems by concealing them. This gives them an edge when it comes to fixing smile issues.

Dr. Robert A. Scherrer offers comprehensive dental services at Advanced Dental Care of Ridgewood in Ridgewood, New Jersey. One of his most popular options is veneers, thanks to their ability to transform a single tooth or an entire smile in two visits.

Here are five smile issues Dr. Scherrer fixes with veneers.

1. Staining and discoloration

It’s hard to beat the results you can get with teeth whitening. However, some stains and discoloration don’t respond to this treatment, even with professional-grade bleaching formulas.

Fortunately, that’s not a problem for veneers.

If you have whitening-resistant tooth discoloration, Dr. Scherrer can make it a distant memory by covering it with a thin porcelain or ceramic veneer.

2. Small, imperfect, or unusually shaped teeth

Do you have teeth that look odd? Have uneven wear? Veneers can turn your frown upside down!

Whether you have unusually shaped teeth or uneven wear, Dr. Scherrer can create a beautiful, picture-perfect smile with custom-made veneers that look and function like natural teeth — but without the imperfections.

3. Chips, breaks, or cracks

Damaged teeth are never a good thing, especially when they impact your smile. But a veneer can sometimes address chips, breaks, or cracks, helping you avoid a more extensive repair — like a crown or implant.

And a veneer does more than improve your flawed tooth. It also adds extra protection, so you can smile with confidence moving forward.

4. Gaps

When you have gaps or spaces between your teeth, it’s easy to think that braces or Invisalign® are the only solutions. But that may not be the case.

Dr. Scherrer can often use veneers to cover those unwanted spaces and leave you with a flawless smile without the time, discomfort, or expense of professional teeth straightening.

5. Alignment problems

Finally, in addition to eliminating gaps, Dr. Scherrer can also use veneers to correct minor alignment issues. That’s right! There could be another way to avoid braces or Invisalign.

Professional teeth straightening provides unmatched results for alignment problems that impact your ability to bite or chew properly. That’s because they literally shift your teeth into an ideal position.

However, Dr. Scherrer can use veneers to conceal small cosmetic issues that impact the way your smile looks.

That means you can transform your smile within two office visits instead of over months or years with professional teeth straightening.

At the end of the day, veneers can correct numerous smile issues. The best way to find out if they can fix yours involves scheduling a consultation with Dr. Scherrer.
