What Do Veneers Actually Change?

Think of veneers as a new front surface for your teeth. They can change the visible shape without changing the entire tooth underneath. So if you don’t like the way one front tooth looks next to the others, the dentist can design the veneer around that difference rather than simply making every tooth identical.

Sometimes Less Is Better

For a small cosmetic flaw, enameloplasty can be enough. During this treatment, a dentist removes a very small amount of enamel to smooth or slightly reshape a tooth. Dental bonding is another option because composite material can be added to change the shape without the same kind of enamel removal required for veneers.

What Does the Change Feel Like?

At first, you’ll notice it. Your tongue will find the new edges because your tongue has apparently been hired as a quality-control inspector.

Are Veneers Right for Reshaping Your Teeth?

They can be a great fit if you’re unhappy with the visible shape of healthy teeth and want a noticeable cosmetic change. They’re especially useful when a dentist can design the veneers around your existing smile instead of forcing every tooth into the same cookie-cutter shape.
