Dental veneers are an excellent, widespread, stain-resistant, and long-lasting solution for improving your smile with many benefits. With veneers, we can help people with discolored, broken, chipped, or worn-down teeth. They provide a natural tooth appearance. Gums tolerate its material. Surfaces are more robust and look better than crowns. Porcelain dental veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments worldwide.
But not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. Your dentist may decide that dental veneers are not the best option for you.
In that case, there are several other trusted and affordable alternatives to veneers that can better address your needs and achieve a bright and natural-looking smile:
- Crowns
- Dental bonding
- Cosmetic contouring
- In-office teeth whitening
Crowns cover up teeth and restore beautiful smiles and mouth functions like veneers. They improve teeth size, shape, strength, and overall appearance. Dental crowns are an excellent option for people with considerable tooth damage, a large filling, a root canal, misshapen or decayed teeth. With crowns, the dentist can protect a weak tooth from decay or damage, cover a discolored tooth, or restore a cracked, worn, or broken tooth.
Cosmetic dental bonding is another more budget-friendly way to hide unattractive dental imperfections for patients with insufficient dental enamel to support veneers or who suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding). A tooth-colored resin applies to your tooth, fixes gaps or cracks, and creates a natural-looking restoration. The procedure is uncomplicated and can improve the look and function of your teeth.
Cosmetic contouring (teeth reshaping or odontoplasty) can be an alternative to veneers if patients have little teeth imperfections, minor chips, or jagged edges. This treatment is simple and gives impressive results. The dentist removes some of your enamel to change the form of your teeth. Cosmetic contouring is a great option to improve your appearance by altering your teeth’ shape or size, fixing damage from bruxism, or making it easier to clean the areas between your teeth.
In-house whitening is an attractive and the most popular option instead of veneers for those patients who only want to enhance the color of their smiles and don’t have any other aesthetic dental issues. If you just want a smile that will look whiter and more youthful, this procedure is for you. Teeth whitening treatment is minimally invasive and significantly eliminates teeth stains in one visit.
