Dental veneers are a popular form of cosmetic treatment, and many cosmetic dentists recommend veneers as a way to fix misshapen teeth. It is helpful to learn more about how misshapen teeth are corrected through veneers treatment to determine if the procedure is right for you. 

Veneers for misshapen teeth

Everyone deserves a great smile they love, and veneers help many patients with misshapen teeth improve their appearance. The following is an overview of veneers as it pertains to improving the shape and size of misshapen teeth. 

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are thin layers of porcelain (or an alternative material) that are bonded to the surface of existing teeth to fix imperfections. There are a variety of reasons why a cosmetic dentist might recommend dental veneers to a patient, including misshapen teeth, as well as the fact that they offer cosmetic and oral health benefits. While a minor amount of dental enamel may need removal before veneers placement, the process is, for the most part, non-invasive and does not cause much discomfort. 

How veneers fix misshapen teeth

One of the more common reasons cosmetic dentists recommend dental veneers is to fix misshapen teeth. Misshapen teeth are teeth that are not ideal in shape and size, which may be the result of a variety of factors. Many are born with misshapen teeth, whereas others may have teeth worn down by teeth grinding or chipped. Regardless of the cause, veneers can most often fix misshapen teeth by improving the size and shape of the tooth to an ideal level that is even and blends in well with the surrounding teeth. 

The dental veneers process

The dental veneers process starts with an initial consultation with a cosmetic dentist, who can conduct an oral examination, discuss treatment goals and help the patient make an informed decision about treatment. If treatment is agreed upon, then the dentist will take a dental impression and may also need to remove a small amount of enamel.

The impression is used to customize the veneers for the specific tooth that is misshapen. They will also choose the most appropriate color shade as well. Both customizations are done to support any cosmetic concern. Once the veneer is created and ready for placement, an additional visit is arranged for placement.

When to consider dental veneers

As mentioned, dental veneers treat a range of cosmetic dental concerns. Anyone who struggles with any of the following issues may find dental veneers beneficial:

  • Misshapen teeth
  • Severe teeth stains
  • Damaged teeth
  • Teeth misalignments
  • Gaps between teeth

Not all imperfections require treatment. However, any time a patient is insecure with the appearance of their smile, it is encouraged to learn about the benefits of dental veneers. Also, while veneers are primarily placed for cosmetic reasons, they can also help in instances where the tooth damage or cosmetic concerns also poses an oral health risk.
