Veneers are thin, custom-made shells typically crafted from porcelain or composite resin materials. Designed to improve the appearance of teeth, they are bonded to the front surface and can enhance color, shape, size, or length. At Hendricks Family Dentistry, veneers are commonly used for cosmetic purposes, providing a durable and natural-looking solution to correct dental imperfections and create a more aesthetically pleasing smile by covering the visible front portion of the teeth. 

Types of Dental Veneers 

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are considered the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry, admired for their exceptional aesthetics and durability. Crafted from ultra-thin porcelain shells by our dentist in Brunswick, OH, these veneers closely mimic tooth enamel's natural translucency and texture. The porcelain material resists stains, providing a long-lasting, vibrant smile. 

Composite Resin Veneers

For individuals seeking a more budget-friendly and less invasive option, composite resin veneers offer a practical solution. These veneers are made from a tooth-colored composite material, providing a natural-looking result. Although slightly less translucent than porcelain, composite veneers offer a pleasing aesthetic. While not as durable as porcelain, composite veneers can still provide a long-lasting solution with proper care. 

Suitable Candidate for Dental Veneers 

A suitable candidate for dental veneers is typically someone with good oral health and hygiene practices but who has cosmetic concerns about the appearance of their teeth. Veneers are commonly used to address issues such as stained or discolored teeth, chipped or worn teeth, uneven or misaligned teeth, and gaps between teeth. Candidates need sufficient enamel on their teeth, as a small amount may need to be removed during the veneer placement. 

Candidates should also have realistic expectations about the outcome and understand that veneers are a permanent or semi-permanent solution, as some enamel removal is irreversible. Individuals with active gum disease or weakened teeth may not be suitable candidates, and it's crucial to discuss any pre-existing dental conditions or concerns with a qualified dentist during a consultation to determine the appropriateness of veneers for their specific case.
