Having a great smile is a privilege that everyone in Fort Wayne should enjoy. The confidence that comes from having genuine pride in your pearly whites is irreplaceable. However, many of us struggle with imperfections in our teeth. Broken, chipped, cracked, stained, and crooked teeth can really put a damper on your smile. At Dupont Family Dentistry we know how much a healthy, happy smile means to Fort Wayne residents, so we’d like to talk about how Dr. Diehl can help get you the smile you deserve with veneers.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin layers of composite, or dental porcelain placed over the surface of a tooth to correct cosmetic and functional issues. Invented in 1928 by Charles Pincus, veneers were originally intended to give movie stars perfect teeth for the silver screen. Back then they were temporary due to a lack of competent adhesive, but modern dental medicine has advanced to the point that veneers can last up to 30 years, and are nearly identical to natural teeth in form and function.
What Can Veneers Fix?
Veneers are a good option for a number of different cosmetic and functional dental issues. Although veneers cannot replace lost teeth, they provide an excellent solution for many Fort Wayne residents. Here are the most common conditions that benefit from veneers:
- Broken teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Mildly crooked teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Undesirably large or small teeth
How Do Veneers Work?
Before deciding if veneers are right for you, it is best to visit Dupont Family Dentistry for a consultation and discussion with Dr. Diehl. Once a thorough consultation has been made, Dr. Diehl will prepare your teeth for fitting, bringing your smile to the next level. Although veneers are stain-resistant, Dr. Diehl may recommend avoiding coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco.
