Candidates for Porcelain Veneers
Denver and Lakewood, Colorado Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic dental procedure that can whiten and straighten teeth with THAT HAVE minor OR EVEN MAJOR imperfections. Patients who are interested in fixing their teeth with porcelain veneers may wonder if they are good candidates.
Almost anyone is a candidate for porcelain veneers. Good candidates for porcelain veneers with Denver cosmetic dentist, Dr. Greenhalgh include patients who have:
- Excess space in crooked teeth
- Uneven color or color that is too dark on your teeth. Veneers can whiten or lighten your smile
- Unattractive front teeth. Both the upper and lower teeth can be fixed
- Worn, aged lower teeth
- Mottled, blotchy teeth
- Chipped edges of front teeth
- Short, worn top teeth that need length to look young again
When you smile, teeth further back THAN JUST YOUR FRONT TEETH can sometimes be seen. Some people have side teeth that are set back a bit or are a little short. Your smile can seem to disappear and look dark on the sides, but these can be filled or evened out by porcelain veneers, producing a full, natural smile.
Your smile does form an impression about you, and people often judge based on appearance. With an attractive, white, and straight smile, you exude confidence and vibrancy. THEREFORE, porcelain veneers are an effective procedure for people who do a lot of public speaking group presentations, or are in sales.
Younger patients that have small front teeth, or “peg laterals” – the teeth second over from the front top tooth – may be told by their orthodontist that any space created can then be bonded by a cosmetic dentist. In some cases the bonding produces a nice result, but not always. In these cases, porcelain veneers can create an even and virtually invisible finish. So, if you have braces, or had braces, you are also a candidate for porcelain veneers.
Dr. Greenhalgh will start with a dental exam, which includes digital photographs and x-rays. He can show you how veneers will look on your teeth when the procedure is completed.
If you ARE WONDERING IF you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers and are in the Denver or Lakewood, Colorado area, please contact the office of experienced cosmetic dentist Dr. Scott Greenhalgh for an initial consultation.
