Here’s what you should know before getting dental veneers.
Dealing with imperfections that affect the overall shape, color or appearance of your smile? If so, dental veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment that could help you correct these imperfections and feel more confident in your smile. Whether you are dealing with discolorations, slightly crooked teeth or chipped teeth, our Monroe, MI, dentist Dr. Maria McMullin can hide these flaws with veneers.
All About Dental Veneers
Who would have thought that simply by adhering a thin layer of porcelain to the front of your teeth, our Monroe, MI, family dentist could completely transform your smile into the smile you’ve always wanted?
These tooth-colored restorations offer our patients a minimally invasive way to dramatically alter the shape, size, color and alignment of their teeth. Veneers can be bonded to one, several or all teeth that are visible when you smile, depending on your unique treatment goals.
What Dental Veneers Treat
One of the major benefits of this popular cosmetic treatment is that it can hide a wide range of imperfections since it covers the entire front surface of a tooth. By covering your teeth, veneers can easily,
- Hide stains and discolorations and brighten your smile
- Hide chips and cracks and create more evenly shaped teeth
- Cover gaps between teeth
- Elongate short, stubby or worn teeth
- “Straighten” out crooked, twisted or slightly off-kilter teeth
- Lengthen and resize misshapen or oddly shaped teeth
If there is a cosmetic flaw that you wish to hide, chances are fairly good that dental veneers are up for the challenge.

- The health of your smile
