What Can Porcelain Veneers Treat?
Porcelain veneers can treat a number of cosmetic issues, including:
Chips
Cracks
Severe discoloration
Minor crookedness
Gaps
Crowding
Veneers are sometimes called "instant orthodontics" because they can be placed over teeth with minor misalignment, gapping, or crowding without the need for orthodontic treatment. However, if you have moderate to severe misalignment issues, you may benefit more from an orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign.
Our dentists at Austin Dental Plus will let you know your options after examining your teeth during your consultation.
Veneers are also a great solution for chips and cracks. They are longer lasting than dental bonding, which is another treatment option for minor chips and cracks. If you have a single tiny chip on one of your teeth, dental bonding may be a better option as it is less expensive and can be performed in a single sitting. However, if you have a larger chip or if multiple teeth have cosmetic concerns, porcelain veneers are usually the superior option.
