Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Veneers?

This cosmetic treatment has become a popular option for people in Edison and nearby Highland Park who want a beautiful smile they feel proud to show off.

What Veneers Can Improve

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that fit over the front of your teeth. They are often made from porcelain, which has a natural look and is resistant to staining. 

Veneers can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or worn down. They are also used to close small gaps and improve the shape or length of teeth. While veneers don’t correct severe alignment issues, they can give you a straighter-looking smile without braces.

Who Makes a Good Candidate?

The best candidates for dental veneers are people who want a long-term solution for cosmetic concerns and have a healthy foundation for treatment. 

In general, you may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have healthy teeth and gums without untreated cavities or gum disease
  • Want to improve the look of chipped, cracked, stained, or uneven teeth
  • Understand that veneers are a permanent change, since a thin layer of enamel is usually removed
  • Have realistic expectations about the improvements veneers can achieve

During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine whether veneers are the best fit for you. Every candidate for dental veneers is unique, so this personal assessment is an essential part of the process.
