Common dental problems that can be solved with veneers

If your teeth are in reasonably good condition structurally but are currently more Z-list than A-list, dental veneers can help. 

A cosmetic solution pioneered in the UK in the 1980s by our very own Dr Mervyn Druian, veneers can be applied to the front of unsightly teeth to quickly improve their appearance and give your smile back its sparkle. 

So, what could veneers help you with? 

The most common uses for veneers 

Whether you choose porcelain veneers or composite, is up to you – but here are their most popular application within the field of cosmetic dentistry. 

Veneers for stained teeth 

Stained or discoloured teeth can happen for a wide range of reasons – be it from smoking, enamel erosion, genetics, or even a diet rich in red wine, fresh berries, and caffeinated beverages. 

Some of these stains can be removed with whitening treatments but if they are too deep, the teeth can be whitened by applying custom shells to the visible fronts, instantly reviving them! 

Veneers for chipped teeth

If the tooth becomes damaged as a result of accidents, over-vigorous biting, or even tooth grinding during the night, veneers can help here, too! 

Once applied and cured with a UV light, chips are removed and the smooth and even shape is restored for the lifecycle of the veneer. 

Plus, as well as giving you a smile worth showing off, it can also help strengthen the tooth itself – helping it to last longer and avoid extraction.

Veneers for cracked teeth

Far from being a purely cosmetic issue, cracked teeth can lead to pain and structural issues if left untreated. 

In this instance, as well as covering the crack, the veneer can act as a protective cover, prevent further damage, and reinforce it against further damage. 

Veneers for crooked teeth

Crooked or misaligned teeth are generally corrected with orthodontic devices like aligner systems and braces. 

However, this can be time-consuming and costly, making it necessary to consider other options if the patient needs immediate results or can’t tolerate orthodontics. 

Instead, veneers can be expertly positioned to create the illusion of a straighter smile without months of discomfort. 

Veneers for gaps between teeth

Although a stand-out look for models like Georgia May Jagger and Coldplay’s Chris Martin, not everyone with diastemas wants to keep them. 

If this is the case for you, veneers can be designed and applied to close small to moderate gaps and leave a uniform and symmetrical look. 

It should be noted, however, that more complex alignment issues may not be suitable for veneer treatment, so it’s always best to book an appointment and get a professional opinion from a dentist before you set your heart on veneers.
