Dental Veneers: Pros and Cons

Dental veneers are thin pieces of tooth-colored porcelain cemented to the front surfaces of your natural teeth, and are an easy way to address a variety of physical and aesthetic problems. Because they're also permanent, however, you'll need to carefully weigh the pros and cons of the procedure before you decide to get them. Here are six things to think about and discuss with your dentist.

Pro #1: Easily Whiten Your Smile
Years of drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes or eating highly pigmented foods eventually take their toll on your teeth, turning them an unattractive shade of yellow or brown. Stained enamel can be bleached at home or by your dentist, but it can become stained again. If you're looking for an easier way to whiten your smile for good, dental veneers may be a good fit for you. Veneers are largely stain-resistant, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), so you won't have to worry about discoloration or needing to have your veneers whitened.

Dental Bridges

A Cost-Effective Option for Several Missing Teeth
For some patients with more than one missing tooth, a bridge may be a reasonable solution. Custom made with high-quality materials, a bridge is attached on both sides with crowns and fills up the gap for a return to comfortable tooth function, as well as a full smile.

Smile Makeovers

Full-Mouth Smile Rehabilitation

Good oral health goes beyond just maintaining your smile with regular cleanings and the occasional filling. Sometimes it can have a much bigger impact on health and appearance. Many patients who’ve dealt with injury, illness, bite problems, and worn teeth can have chronic problems they didn’t even realize originated in the mouth. Tooth grinding (bruxism), TMJ, periodontitis, crooked or misshapen teeth, and lost teeth can combine to create headaches and migraines, toothaches, bad breath, or an unattractive appearance. However, we have solutions for these problems.

Dr. Kravitz will discuss your concerns, symptoms, and treatment goals. After taking digital X-rays, photos, and imprints of your mouth, he will discuss treatment options to address those issues and help you achieve a healthy, pain-free, beautiful smile. We can also discuss phased treatment and the financial planning that will make all of this possible.
