Find out more about dental veneers and what they can do for you.

Most people who are seeking a cosmetic dental treatment in Camden County, NJ that can improve and enhance the appearance of your teeth can benefit from what dental veneers can offer. These thin porcelain tooth-colored shells can mask these common cosmetic imperfections:

• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Yellowed or discolored teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Worn down and uneven teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Slightly misaligned teeth

These thin porcelain shells are adhered to the front of the teeth to hide these problems for good. Ideal candidates for dental veneers are those who have good oral health and enough healthy tooth enamel to support a dental veneer. Issues such as teeth grinding and severe overcrowding may make someone ineligible for this cosmetic treatment, which is why you should visit us for a proper consultation to determine if your teeth and goals are right for veneers.

If the repairs would be too extensive for dental veneers to tackle then we can also recommend other restorations like dental crowns to improve the health and look of your smile. We offer a full range of cosmetic services to cater to all your unique needs and goals.

And getting veneers is a fairly simple process. Once we deem you an ideal candidate for treatment we will get to work to prepare your teeth. In order to prepare the teeth for your veneers, we will have to shave down a small amount of tooth enamel to make room for the new restorations. Only about 0.5mm of enamel is removed, which is so small that it can often be done without even needing anesthesia.

Next, impressions of your teeth are taken and then sent to our lab where they will start making your custom-fitted veneers. In the meantime, we may offer temporary veneers to protect your teeth until your permanent ones are ready. Once your dental veneers are ready we will remove the temporary ones, apply a dental resin to your teeth and then apply the new veneers.

We will check the fit and make sure you are happy with the final product before we use a dental laser to permanently harden the resin and veneers to your teeth. With a final polish, your new smile is good to go!

If dental veneers sound like the cosmetic treatment you’ve always wanted then it’s time you turned to Sullivan & Turner, LLC in Camden County for a consultation. Veneers can be an incredible way to get a straighter and more attractive smile.
