Teeth can become yellowed, cracked, or broken over time due to many factors.  Fortunately there is a cosmetic dentistry procedure called dental veneers.  Dental veneers are custom-made thin, translucent caps that go over the tooth to create a white, straight smile.  Veneers can also fix the appearance of misaligned teeth, abnormal spacing, and worn enamel.

The two most common materials used to make dental veneers are porcelain and composite resin, most of the time at a dental laboratory.  Porcelain veneers are often the ideal option since they are longer lasting, more durable, and the most realistic looking; however, resin veneers are thinner and require less shaving of the actual tooth enamel.  Contact your local cosmetic dentist to see what dental veneer option is right for you.
