Smile More With Dental Veneers In East Lansing, MI

The truth is that most of our teeth acquire stains, chips, breaks, and cracks over our lifetime. In addition, some of us have always been dissatisfied with the shape of our teeth, or some permanent discoloration, or maybe even fillings that are showing their age.

Did you know that most of those flaws can be masked by dental veneers!?

What are dental veneers?

Veneers are very thin, but strong, shells that are permanently bonded to the front surface of teeth. Usually made of porcelain, dental veneers provide a natural-looking, beautiful new surface. That’s because dental porcelain, like natural tooth enamel, is translucent and can be matched to the color of adjacent teeth.

Natural-looking and highly resistant to permanent discoloration from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco, your smile will have a healthy, natural look!

What oral health & esthetic issues can veneers address?

As your dentist in East Lansing, we can use veneers to help improve or eliminate the following:

• Teeth Color: Your teeth can become stained by food and drink, smoking, and even normal aging. Available in numerous natural tooth-color shades, you can choose from the most natural-looking enamel color to the brightest white of Hollywood stars. (if you’re curious as to who in Hollywood is rocking a set of veneers, do a quick Google search and you’ll find many of them!)

We will work with you to get you the desired shade you want. After all, you want your dental veneers to blend in with the rest of your smile, so they don’t stand out like a sore thumb!

• Size & Shape: Your teeth may not have the ideal shape or size. For example, some people consider rounder teeth more feminine and square teeth more masculine. We can shape and size the veneers to flatter your face and smile.

We’ll help you determine what’s best for you. And that means asking the right questions to find exactly what kind of look you want. There are dozens of options–ultimately, the choice is completely yours!

• Alignment & Spacing. Close gaps and straighten teeth without braces! Small gaps between teeth can be covered, and slight corrections in alignment can be made to improve tooth color and shape.

In the dental world, a gap is also known as a diastema. It usually happens between the two upper front teeth. Madonna, for example, is a celeb who might come to mind. In her case, it was a feature that fans found cute and irresistible. But that doesn’t mean the same goes for you. You might feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about smiling because of that extra space between your teeth. Dental veneers are often the best option for these patients.

How to care for your veneers

With proper maintenance and diligent home cleaning, your new veneers will stay bright for years (some patients report they still look great after two decades). As with your natural teeth, avoid nail-biting and opening bobby pins, and make sure to use a nightguard if you grind your teeth at night (we can fit you with one). Although veneers are strong, if you bite on something not meant to go in your mouth or are one to chew on ice, there’s a good chance you’ll end up with damage.

It’s also wise to avoid (or consume in moderation) beverages, foods, and substances that can cause staining. Veneers, like natural teeth, can be stained. With proper maintenance and diligent home cleaning, your new veneers will stay bright for years.

How much are veneers in Michigan?
