Did you know dental veneers, which cover the front surface of your teeth, can correct many different dental issues? These thin shells are custom fit and bonded to each tooth individually, so you get a perfect fit and a great smile.
As part of his comprehensive restorative dentistry line of services, Robert F. Wilcox, DMD, and our care team at his private practice in Butte, Montana, use dental veneers to address different dental problems.
This is great news, since most people want to tackle more than one dental struggle, like whitening and straightening. Veneers are a fast, safe, and cost-effective option for making over your smile and addressing multiple problems that affect your oral health.
Dr. Wilcox first takes a mold of your teeth to ensure a custom fit, then fits each veneer to your teeth. The material he uses depends on the condition of your natural teeth and your needs.
Most veneers are made from porcelain or resin composite, and each material has benefits. Dr. Wilcox reviews your options before recommending the right veneer for you.
Are you ready to restore your smile? Are you feeling intrigued by veneers? Take a moment to learn about eight common dental problems that veneers can resolve, giving you the smile of your dreams.
If you’re unhappy with the color of your teeth, you’re not alone. Teeth can get stained or discolored for many reasons, including:
Professional dental whitening can brighten your smile, but some stains reach into the deep layers of your teeth that can’t be helped by traditional whitening treatments. Veneers cover all stains and discoloration, giving your teeth a natural-looking whiter, brighter appearance instantly.
Whether you were born with natural gaps or have had spaces emerge over time as your teeth shift, gaps and spaces change the symmetry of your smile and can make you feel self-conscious.
Veneers make these areas disappear, providing a lasting solution when it comes to closing spaces between teeth.
It doesn’t take much to get embarrassing chips and cracks on your teeth — biting too hard, bumping your tooth on a glass, and even accidents or dental trauma can crack or chip a tooth, changing your appearance and the function of your teeth.
The good news is that dental veneers hide these imperfections while restoring the shape, size, and symmetry of your teeth. Dr. Wilcox simply bonds a custom-made veneer to your damaged tooth, leaving you with a functional and aesthetically pleasing grin.
If you have uneven teeth, you know they can make your smile look misaligned. Uneven teeth sometimes also trigger issues when it comes to chewing, biting, and talking.
Veneers solve these irregularities by restoring balance and a harmonious appearance, leaving you with an attractive smile and functional teeth.
Do you have previous dental work, like metal fillings or dental bonding, that stands out against your natural teeth or has discolored over time? Dental veneers cover these issues while matching your surrounding teeth, so they integrate into your more uniform, cohesive smile.
Teeth that are misshapen or have irregular contours can detract from your facial features and draw attention to your smile in all the wrong ways. Dental veneers are customized to reshape and contour your teeth, while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. The result? A balanced, harmonious smile that complements your face.
If you have severely crooked teeth or misalignment, chances are you need orthodontic treatment to correct it. But for minor issues related to crooked teeth, dental veneers are an effective solution.
Dr. Wilcox can bond veneers to the front surface of your misaligned teeth, creating an illusion of straighter teeth with immediate results instead of waiting months for results from braces or clear aligners.
Teeth can wear down for different reasons. Acid erosion, tooth grinding, and even aging cause enamel to wear away, making your teeth look uneven or shorter. Veneers restore the natural shape and size of your teeth, plus they give you an added layer of protection against future wear.
