As one of the most versatile cosmetic dental treatments available, porcelain veneers can be a wonderful option for addressing severe stains, large chips or gaps, spaces and general misalignment, and other concerns. A single porcelain veneer can be used for a single tooth, or a full set of veneers can be effective for multiple cosmetic conditions. In fact, porcelain veneers are often selected for inclusion in a smile makeover, which offers individuals a way to address several cosmetic concerns for comprehensive smile renewal. Depending on your ultimate goals, Dr. Jimmy Wu, our cosmetic dentist here at Sutra Dental Spa, may determine that just one porcelain veneer will be ideal for your needs, or a full set of them may be recommended for the best possible results.
Porcelain veneers are made of a strong ceramic material that is designed to blend in with surrounding teeth. Custom-crafted to cover the front and side portions of a tooth, porcelain veneers can conceal visible signs of deep discoloration, fractures and gaps, and teeth that appear mildly “crooked” or misaligned. These options can provide incredibly natural-looking results, enhancing your smile many years into the future. The total number of veneers necessary will ultimately be decided based on what can make your smile appear as balanced and uniform as possible, in addition to the specific dental conditions you are experiencing and the outcome you are looking to achieve. Dr. Wu may advise that a set of veneers be placed in order to attain the most symmetrical results; however, some individuals may only need one or two to meet that goal. Veneers can sometimes work best when placed in multiple locations to create a balanced and natural-looking outcome.
Dr. Wu will be able to decide what is best for your needs at your initial consultation. If you would like to learn more about the benefits of porcelain veneers or our many other dental treatment options, please contact us today with any questions you may have, or to schedule a consultation.
