Sometimes a tooth is healthy but doesn't look the way you'd like it to. Uneven edges, discoloration, small chips, minor spacing, or differences in tooth shape can affect how your smile comes together. Progressive Dental Arts offers dental veneers for patients looking to make carefully planned cosmetic changes to the visible surfaces of their teeth. Serving Newark, Christiana, and Pike Creek, DE, the practice can help you determine whether veneers are appropriate for your teeth and the changes you want to make.
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made coverings designed to bond to the front surface of selected teeth. They can alter the visible color, shape, size, or proportions of teeth while maintaining the underlying tooth structure as the foundation.
Veneers may be considered for concerns such as persistent discoloration that doesn't respond adequately to whitening, minor chips, uneven tooth edges, small gaps, or teeth that appear irregular in shape. They are generally intended for cosmetic improvement rather than treatment of teeth with significant structural problems.
The planning process involves more than choosing a shade. Your dentist considers your existing teeth, gum line, bite, facial proportions, and the appearance of neighboring teeth when determining whether veneers are suitable and how they should be designed.
Veneers aren't reversible in the same way as whitening or bonding because placement may require some preparation of the natural tooth. For that reason, understanding the procedure, maintenance requirements, alternatives, and expected outcome is an important part of deciding whether veneers are right for you.

Veneers can address several visible characteristics of a smile at the same time while focusing treatment on selected teeth. Instead of changing the entire structure of a tooth, a veneer modifies its visible surface to create a planned cosmetic appearance.They can also be useful when whitening alone cannot address the type of discoloration you're experiencing or when the concern involves both tooth color and shape. In other cases, a more conservative option such as dental bonding may be sufficient.Dr. Rodney Kryzhanovskiy, D.M.D. and Dr. Lavinia Wu, D.M.D. can evaluate your teeth and discuss whether veneers, bonding, whitening, orthodontic treatment, or another approach better matches your cosmetic goals.

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made coverings designed to bond to the front surfaces of teeth. They are primarily used to change the appearance of selected teeth.
Veneers may improve the appearance of certain discoloration, small chips, uneven edges, minor gaps, and irregular tooth shape or proportions.
Veneers are intended as a long-term cosmetic restoration, but they are not indestructible. They can wear, chip, or become damaged and may eventually need replacement.
Some veneer treatments require preparation of the natural tooth to create the necessary space and bonding surface. The amount varies according to the type of veneer and individual treatment plan.
Veneers and whitening address different concerns. Whitening changes the color of natural teeth, while veneers can change both the visible color and shape of selected teeth. Your dentist can help determine which is more appropriate.
Continue brushing and flossing regularly and maintain routine dental examinations. Avoid using your teeth to bite hard objects, as excessive force can damage veneers or the teeth supporting them.
