Veneers are highly-customizable to help you achieve the look that suits you best. They work by simply covering up aesthetic imperfections affecting the teeth that show when you smile. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the flaws that can be masked with veneers include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chipped or broken teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stained or discolored teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teeth with irregular surfaces<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Misshapen teeth (too short or pointy)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slight gaps between teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Off-center or slightly misaligned teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lumineers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional dental veneers require the removal of a small portion of tooth enamel. Lumineers are a special type of veneer that usually do not require the alteration of the enamel before placement. That makes them a less-invasive and reversible treatment. If for some reason you wish to return to your natural smile after having Lumineers, you easily can. You and your cosmetic dentist in Temple will discuss your options thoroughly to determine which one is best for your smile. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple Benefits of Veneers and Lumineers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veneers and Lumineers offer a number of benefits for patients with imperfect front teeth. Some of the most considerable advantages of this cosmetic treatment include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several dental imperfections can be corrected all at once<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental porcelain does not stain or discolor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minor orthodontic imperfections can be masked to help you avoid the need for braces<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veneers and Lumineers can last for many years with proper maintenance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both options are highly customizable to help you achieve the look that suits you best<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are You a Candidate for Veneers?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veneers are a great option for patients who have cosmetically imperfect but otherwise healthy teeth. For weak or worn teeth or those that have been structurally damaged, a sturdy dental crown may be preferable. Most adults (over the age of 18) who are struggling with visibly imperfect teeth but who enjoy good oral health can usually benefit from dental veneers.
