5 Smile Flaws Easily Corrected With Veneers

No one is born with a seemingly perfect smile, free of stains or misshapen teeth. Most people would probably say that they’ve had at least one cosmetic dental issue they’d love to correct. 

For years, addressing most of these aesthetic-related oral problems meant going through a series of arduous and expensive treatments. But more recently, dental veneers have been changing that.

Dental veneers are wafer-thin shells that can change the size, shape, and color of your teeth without the need for surgery or removing much of your natural teeth. 

At Burbank Dental Studio in Burbank, California, our team, led by Annie Aboulian, DMD, offers state-of-the-art dental veneers to help you achieve your smile goals. 

In this blog, we review five common issues dental veneers can treat.

Tooth discoloration

Professional teeth whitening can remove most stains on the surface of your teeth. But if the dental discoloration lies in the lower layers of your teeth, traditional teeth whitening methods can’t remove this type of staining. Thankfully, veneers can help.

We match the color of the veneers to your surrounding teeth, so they not only cover unsightly stains but also blend in beautifully with the rest of your smile. 

If you have staining due to illness, tooth disease, medication use, and natural discoloration due to aging, veneers might be right for you.

Teeth that are misshapen

Do you have teeth that are too small, too pointy, or just don’t fit your picture of ideal teeth? We can provide veneers created in the shape you want to give you the smile you’ve dreamed of. 

In addition to making your teeth the correct size and shape, veneers can provide natural symmetry that helps ensure your smile looks great at every age. 

Damaged teeth

Cracked or broken teeth can detract from an otherwise gorgeous smile and make you feel self-conscious. 

Dental veneers cover cracks and fractured teeth, thereby restoring your teeth’s appearance, and making them look healthy and well cared for. Plus, because veneers are made of very durable material and bonded using strong adhesives, you can feel confident your results will last for years.

Tooth gaps

When you have large gaps between teeth, your smile isn’t the only thing that suffers. Spaces between teeth provide places for food particles to get stuck, allowing decay-causing bacteria to build up. 

Veneers close any unattractive gaps to give your smile a symmetrical look while adding some extra protection for your teeth. 

Misaligned teeth

If you’ve always wanted to straighten your teeth or correct a misaligned bite but haven’t wanted to go through the hassle of orthodontic treatments, veneers might be right for you. 

Dr. Aboulian applies veneers to the surface of your teeth with skilled precision, helping your teeth look straight without the use of braces or aligners. Orthodontic treatments can take months or even years to complete, but veneers give you the results you want in just a few visits.
