Many people choose veneers over crowns because we don’t remove as much tooth material and the procedure is generally less uncomfortable. Crosspoint Family Dental offers full comprehensive cosmetic and preventative dental services including veneers in our Chelmsford, MA area office.
What are Veneers? – Chelmsford, MA
Porcelain veneers are thin coverings or facings that bond directly to the front surface of the teeth. Veneers are an ideal choice for improving your smile. Little to no anesthesia is needed. Veneers are used for:
- Teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped
- Discolored teeth
- Teeth that are misshapen
- Teeth that are unevenly spaced or cooked
Veneers have a longer life expectancy and color stability than bonding and highly resist permanent staining from coffee, tea or even cigarette smoking. Veneers are usually irreversible because it is necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to accommodate the shell.
Are Veneers Right for You?
Porcelain veneers can mask undesirable defects, such as teeth stained by tetracycline, by an injury or as a result of a root-canal procedure, and are ideal for masking discolored fillings in front teeth. If you are looking to improve your smile because of this or because you may have space between your front teeth or teeth that are chipped or worn, contact us today. One of our experienced cosmetic dentists will develop the right plan, tailored to you.
