Problems that develop near the front of the smile, such as staining, gaps, or breakage, can significantly impact the appearance of the smile as a whole. Patients may find themselves in social situations covering their smile or avoiding talking to others because of the embarrassment they experience with the appearance of their teeth. Thanks to continued advances in cosmetic dentistry, patients can now consider restorations such as porcelain veneers to fix their smiles and regain their self-confidence.
The team at Smile Today Dental in Glenview, Illinois, describes veneers as a facing that is made to bond over a tooth with an imperfection to mask its appearance. In doing so, it can rejuvenate a smile when a tooth near the front of the smile, known as an anterior tooth, has damage, staining, or breakage. Porcelain veneers are made to match the patient’s natural teeth to ensure seamless integration when bonded in place.
Porcelain veneers are not the only solution for patients who have imperfections in their smile. Other restorations, such as a dental crown or composite resin bonding, may be considered too. Drs. Evelyn Kidonakis and Jinyoung “Anny” Yoo will evaluate your teeth and smile and determine the treatment most appropriate for your goals and current dental situation.
The cost of veneers and other dental restorations varies significantly from patient to patient, which is why our team will encourage you to call the office and schedule a consultation appointment to get a more accurate quote for the fabrication and placement of one or more porcelain veneers.
