Who is a Candidate for Dental Veneers?

San Diego, Encinitas, and Carlsbad

Do you catch yourself hiding your smile? Do you have multiple dental flaws you would like to correct or problems with multiple teeth? Have you been holding off on cosmetic dentistry because you believe you need too much work? If so, dental veneers may be the solution for you.

 

Porcelain veneers are a great way to restore your smile with one cosmetic dentistry solution by addressing:

• Minor crookedness
• Discoloration
• Small gaps
• Unevenly sized teeth
• Misshapen teeth

 

While you could choose to address each problem separately, undergoing multiple procedures over time, veneers can solve all of these problems at once, which means less time in the dentist’s chair.

 

The best candidates for dental veneers have the following qualities:

• Good overall dental health
• Want to improve the look of their smile
• Have multiple dental issues to resolve

 

An example of a dental veneer candidate is the patient who believes she needs tooth whitening and tooth straightening but is reluctant to get started because it seems like such an involved and lengthy process. She imagines spending several months straightening her teeth and then having her teeth whitened. In many cases, that is not necessary. Porcelain veneers can solve both issues without months of treatment and you can have the straight, white smile you desire in as few as two visits with Dr. Walsh-Cole.
