5 Smile Flaws We Easily Correct With Porcelain Veneers

5 Smile Flaws We Easily Correct With Porcelain Veneers

Accidents, injuries, or genetics may have left you with a less-than-lovely smile. But you don’t have to accept it.

Porcelain veneers offer a long-lasting solution. Veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells permanently affixed to the front surface of your teeth, camouflaging more smile flaws than you may realize. 

At his dental practice in the Miracle Mile neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA, James Hernandez, DDS, has transformed countless smiles with the magic of porcelain dental veneers.

Here are the top reasons patients of Dr. Hernandez’s opt for this popular cosmetic dental service:  

Severe tooth discoloration or deep stains

If your teeth are yellowed, stained, or discolored from food, drink, or tobacco, chances are good that avoiding stain-causing items and practicing good oral hygiene will yield impressive improvements. For severe stains, consider our professional teeth whitening treatment.

However, if you have teeth that are permanently discolored from injury, age, medications, or infection, dental veneers may be the way to go. Our team can match your veneer to the color of your healthy teeth, making your smile look natural.

Chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth

Our veneers do double duty by covering up imperfections like chips and cracks in your teeth. The veneers also strengthen your damaged teeth, making them less susceptible to further injury. 

Unwanted gaps

Veneers are also often used to correct minor gaps between teeth that can make you feel self-conscious and trap bacteria. Veneers help you achieve a tighter smile without enduring months or years of braces or aligners. 

Misshapen teeth

If you’ve traumatized your teeth through sports, an accident, or bad habits such as chewing ice or pencils, veneers can hide the evidence of misshapen or irregularly sized teeth that throw off the balance of your smile.

Gummy smile

Veneers offer an effective solution by visually lengthening your teeth and reshaping their proportions. By placing custom-crafted veneers over your teeth, we can create a fuller, longer look that draws focus away from your gumline and restores symmetry to your overall smile.

The beauty of porcelain 

Porcelain reflects light similarly to natural tooth enamel, so your finished smile won't ever look artificial. When you choose veneers, we carefully design each restoration to complement your natural facial features, skin tone, and dental structure.

Some 600,000 Americans receive veneers annually. It’s easy to see why. With proper care, veneers can last up to 10 to 15 years.
