If you’ve considered giving your smile the red carpet treatment, veneers might just be your VIP pass. While chips and other tooth imperfections are common (nearly everyone experiences them at some point), you don’t have to live with smile flaws or undergo extensive dental treatments to fix them.
Consider dental veneers provided by Adam Cottrill, DMD, at Nashville Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry as a fast-track to a straighter, whiter, flawless smile with a boost of confidence.
So what, exactly, are dental veneers? They’re tooth-colored coverings, often made of porcelain or composite resin materials. Dr. Cottrill removes a small portion of enamel from your teeth, then bonds the veneers to the front and side surfaces to enhance their appearance. They correct an array of cosmetic dental concerns without surgery.
Veneers are a simple cosmetic dental solution that can fix the following smile flaws:
Whether you’ve bitten into something hard or simply develop wear-and-tear over time, veneers can perfect the look of teeth containing minor chips, breaks, cracks, or similar imperfections. They conceal flaws, creating the self-confidence you deserve.
Another perk of veneers is that Dr. Cottrill creates them to be whiter and brighter than your natural tooth color (if you have discoloration). And, veneers resist stains more than natural teeth, so you’re less likely to develop staining in the future.
Do you have unwanted spaces between your teeth? Dental veneers can fix this common dental flaw, too. They fill in gaps to create the gorgeous, perfect smile you long for.
Are your teeth smaller than you prefer? Veneers can add size, enhancing the shape and overall appearance of your beautiful smile without invasive procedures.
Not all natural teeth are perfectly shaped. They might be misshapen at the time of eruption or wear down over time. Veneers correct this common problem, optimizing the shape of imperfect teeth to achieve a flawless Hollywood smile.
Dr. Cottrill discusses your dental health history, examines your teeth and gums, and reviews the results of your dental X-rays before determining which cosmetic or restorative dental treatment is best suited for you. To be a candidate for veneers, you must be free from dental decay and gum disease — or be willing to treat these conditions prior to veneer placement.
Nashville Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry also offers dentures, clear braces, Invisalign®, crowns, dental implants, All-on-4® implants, and even full-mouth reconstruction to match your specific dental needs.
Caring for your new veneers properly ensures they last a long time (often up to 15 years or longer). Brush your teeth after meals, floss daily, don’t chew on hard objects, and see your dentist at least every six months for cleanings and exams.
