Dental veneers come in two primary forms: porcelain or composite and composite. Both work very well on correcting mild to moderate staining on the teeth. Veneers cover up just enough of the tooth to hide the discoloration without impairing the other natural features of the teeth. Veneers also protect the enamel of the other teeth from further staining and keep the teeth looking clean and white.
Dental veneers are used to improve a patient's smile by covering up discolored or damaged teeth. Discolored teeth may have been caused by poor hygiene, improper diet, and exposure to tobacco smoke. In addition, discolored teeth may have been caused by aging, smoking, or fluoride in the water. Cosmetic dental veneers help patients achieve their desired result, no matter the cause of their discolored teeth. However, in some cases, especially those involving large amounts of discolored teeth, dental veneers may not be the ideal solution because of the problems they can cause, including gaps between the veneers, darker spots on the veneers, or other issues.
