Local dentist in Vega Alta
If you have a tooth which is cosmetically damaged, or you want to improve the look of your smile, you may be able to have this achieved by getting dental veneers. At Champion Dental PC, our
local dentist in Vega Alta, Dr. Derrick R. Champion, can provide you with porcelain veneers to improve the appearance of your smile.
When you come to our dental practice wanting to have a cosmetically-damaged tooth fixed in its appearance, our local dentist in Vega Alta will first review your specific dental situation to make sure that the tooth is only cosmetically damaged. If the tooth also needs to have its function improved, our dentist may instead recommend that you get a porcelain crown which will strengthen the tooth as well as improve the appearance of the tooth. However, when the tooth is only cosmetically damaged, a porcelain veneer will be able to fix the appearance of the tooth without affecting the tooth structure. Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain which are made to cover only the front of the tooth. The porcelain veneer is extremely thin, but also extremely strong. It is permanently attached to the front of the tooth and will last for many years. Porcelain veneers are great for fixing many different types of cosmetic dental problems including: teeth that are too short; teeth that are slightly misaligned; teeth that are chipped; teeth that have surface cracks in the enamel; teeth that are misshapen; teeth that have uneven gaps between them; teeth that are discolored and cannot be fixed with dental whitening methods; or teeth that have other cosmetic dental problems. A patient can get one or many dental veneers, depending on the cosmetic dental problem being corrected.
