Would your teeth be more attractive without chips, discolorations or other flaws? Adding veneers to problem teeth can make imperfections disappear. The restorations offered by your Lansing, MI, dentist, Dr. Scott Stone, provide a simple way to enhance your smile.

Veneers conceal flaws

Veneers hide imperfections in the fronts of your teeth. The tooth-shaped shells are made from an impression of your mouth and are attached to your teeth with dental cement. Veneers don't require extensive preparation or major changes to your tooth structure. In fact, your Lansing, MI, dentist will only need to remove a tiny amount of tooth enamel to ensure that your veneers fit comfortably.

Veneers offer smile-changing benefits

Uniform teeth are an important component of a perfect smile, yet many of us have a few teeth that look a little out of place. Veneers change the appearance of oddly shaped, crooked, twisted or too short teeth, making the teeth blend in with the rest of your smile.

It's hard to overlook a discolored tooth no matter how hard you try. In fact, the tooth may be the first thing you notice when you look in the mirror. Fortunately, discolorations disappear from view once a veneer is added.

Veneers can be made to match the current shade of your teeth or can be used to whiten your entire smile. If you're looking for a long-lasting whitening option, there's no better choice than veneers. The restorations are stain-resistant and won't become dull or yellow if you consume coffee, tea, wine, cola, berries or other darkly pigmented foods and beverages.

Orthodontic treatment isn't always needed to close the spaces between your teeth. Veneers can hide slight gaps, instantly transforming your smile. Although you may need braces if your gaps are large, many gaps can be successfully concealed with veneers.

Biting on hard objects or years of wear and tear can eventually cause small chips or cracks in your tooth enamel. Veneers conceal the damage and also hide other imperfections that may affect the appearance of your tooth enamel, such as uneven surfaces, pits or bumps.
