Do you like the look of your smile? Are your teeth crooked or discolored? Do you have spaces between your teeth? Veneers and bonding can help you improve your smile’s overall look without the need for braces.
What Is a Veneer?
Veneers are porcelain facings that are applied to teeth to improve a tooth’s shape, color, or size. They can also improve malalignment of teeth if minor correction is needed and if you do not want to do braces. They are the closest you can get in looks to natural teeth with the least amount of tooth removal. The porcelains used in veneers are matched to your natural color, or if you want whiter teeth, they can be made lighter. When veneers are done right, they look and feel like your own teeth.
What Is Bonding?
Bonding is when we apply a white resin material to teeth in order to fill gaps, change tooth size and shape or to change the color of a tooth. Bonding typically can be completed in one appointment and may not require freezing. Since no tooth is removed when bonding is done, it is also reversible.
