Your Perfect Smile Awaits
Well, a dental veneer is a facing. It isn’t something where we take the whole tooth out or anything of that nature. It’s more of a facing. We can change the orientation of a tooth. So, if a tooth is rotated, we can make it look straight. If a tooth is worn down, we can give it a more natural appearance, size, and shape. We can do all that with a porcelain veneer. We can basically make a tooth look like what we want it to.
I always say to a patient, “If you could take a magic wand and make your teeth look a certain way, how would you do it?” And they don’t quite understand that, but in truth, that’s what we can do. We really can make your teeth look exactly how you want them to look like, with whatever shade and things of that nature. So, veneers are awesome. I know that I did veneers for my mother 15 years ago because she had told me… Basically, she had told me that she just… She said, “Look back at my pictures. Do you see me smile?” And I said, “Yeah, you do.” She goes, “Did I ever show my teeth?” I said, “No. Actually, you don’t, mom.” And she said, “Well, that’s because I don’t like how my teeth look.”
But since then, my mom’s pictures, she shows her teeth and that’s really what we want is patients that are comfortable. They’re excited. They want to show their teeth. They enjoy their smile. They like their smile. I know a lot of cases I’ve done for men who have had big mustaches and full beards. It’s amazing how when they get their veneers done and their teeth look a certain way. All of a sudden they shave because they’re not trying to cover anything up anymore, basically, they have the smile they want and that’s really what it comes down to. So, we want to be able to give patients something that they like, that they enjoy, that they’re comfortable with, and not something that they’re like trying to cover up their mouths because they don’t like how things look.
We want them to be comfortable and confident, and that’s really what a veneer does is it helps you to have the comfortable and confident smile that you’ve always wanted, and we can deliver that.
