What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are synthetic coverings that are designed to fit over the front of your teeth. Veneers are made out of tooth-colored materials including composites or porcelain. Dental veneers are a fully cosmetic dental treatment designed to help patients improve the appearance of their smiles. Simply put, dental veneers cover imperfections with your smile with teeth that are designed to white, symmetrical and the right shape and size. Dental veneers are markedly different from dental crowns. A dental crown is a restorative treatment that involves place a synthetic cap on a tooth. This replaces the chewing surface of the tooth. For example. if a patient has had significant dental decay or has a chip/crack in their tooth that has exposed the dentin, your dentist might removed the damaged section of the tooth and use a dental crown to protect the rest of that tooth. By comparison, dental veneers are purely cosmetic.

What Cosmetic Problems Can Dental Veneers Help With
Dental veneers are a purely cosmetic dental treatments that help improve the appearance of your smile. They can help patients who have the following cosmetic issues:
Chipped / Broken Teeth
There are some chips or cracks that are completely cosmetic. If this is the case dental veneers can hide the chip or crack effectively. However, if the chip or crack is a risk to the tooth, your dentist might recommend a restorative treatment like a dental crown.
Teeth That Are Too Small
Many people are interested in getting dental veneers to cover teeth that are different shapes or sizes. If you have a front tooth that is significantly smaller than the rest it can make your smile look unbalanced. Veneers can help make your smile more uniform.
Stained Teeth
While one of the best cosmetic solutions for stained teeth is teeth whitening, teeth whitening isn’t always effective. For serious stains, dental veneers can cover the tooth.
Gaps In Your Smile
Similar to misshapen or different sized teeth, veneers can help cover gaps between your teeth. Dental veneers can be placed on two adjacent teeth to help cover your tooth gap.
Do Dental Veneers Protect Your Teeth?
No, dental veneers are not designed to provide protection for your teeth. Dental veneers are a purely cosmetic dental treatment. You also need to continue to care for your teeth after you get dental veneers. You need to continue to brush your teeth, floss, and see your dentist twice a year. To avoid damaging your dental veneers you should use a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoid toothpaste that has abrasive ingredients. Abrasion can cause the veneers to get scuffed and scratched. You should also avoid chewing on on hard objects like your fingernails, ice cubes, pens, etc. as that can cause the veneers to become chipped.
