When flaws appear in the smile, it can negatively detract from an otherwise beautiful look. Patients might not realize how affordable cosmetic dentistry solutions can be. With the use of porcelain veneers Richmond, Virginia area patients have the opportunity to enhance their smiles by covering imperfections that might cause them to feel self-conscious about the way they look. With our team of professionals, we can recommend porcelain veneers for imperfect teeth to change the entire appearance of the smile.

WHAT IS A PORCELAIN VENEER?

Dr. Naveen Chennupati is the dentist at Best Smiles and can help patients learn more about the advantages of using porcelain veneers. Veneers provide the coverage patients need to address issues such as:

  • Permanently stained teeth
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Unusually-shaped teeth
  • Worn-down teeth
  • Gaps between teeth     

These thin shells of manufactured porcelain are made to match a patient’s smile to ensure seamless integration. They are bonded right onto the front-facing of the tooth to give a whole new look. Some patients might use a single veneer to cover an imperfection, while others may use several veneers across the front teeth to dramatically change their smiles.

WHO IS A PROPER CANDIDATE FOR A PORCELAIN VENEER?

Porcelain veneers are ideal for patients who want to make minor esthetic enhancements to the smile. Patients must have enough tooth enamel remaining to support the bonding process of the veneer. Those with active gum disease or decay might not be viable candidates for this treatment option and should have these issues addressed before considering cosmetic dentistry solutions. Our team can evaluate you to decide if you are a good fit.

ARE VENEERS REVERSIBLE?

Because the placement of porcelain veneers requires patients to file down the tooth to make room for the bonding of the veneer itself, it is not reversible. Once veneers are used, they should be replaced as needed to maintain the appearance of the smile as desired.
