Choosing a cosmetic dental treatment that aligns with your unique vision isn’t always easy. With so many options available, it can be difficult to determine the right service that will not only conceal your imperfections but also create a natural, beautiful appearance.

When learning that veneers are a viable option at Blue Back Dental, you may wonder how these custom restorations can take your smile to the next level. Before investing in your new aesthetic transformation, here are four unique facts to consider when it comes to porcelain veneers.

Veneers are Versatile

Veneers can correct imperfections in the color, shape, size and position of the teeth.

Veneers Do Not Require Complete Altering of Your Natural Teeth

Whereas dental crowns cover the front, back, and sides of a tooth, a dental veneer only covers the front portion. However, removal of some enamel is necessary in order to create space for the porcelain. The goal is always to create a natural-appearing tooth.

 Veneers are Not Required for All Teeth

Every patient has different treatment needs. Some patients only require a single veneer to mask a dark tooth. Others may need all of their front teeth veneered to achieve their esthetic goals.

Veneers Take Two Appointments

The first appointment consists of your dentist preparing the teeth that will be covered with veneers, taking an impression, and then placing temporaries. The impression will be sent to our cosmetic dental lab where the veneers are hand fabricated, and then bonded into place at the follow-up visit.
