Feeling confident about your smile is important, but two common problems can stand in your way: crooked or oddly spaced teeth and teeth stains. Thankfully, there’s a cosmetic dentistry service that makes it possible to overcome both of these in just two to three visit to Dr. Carmen’s Normal dental office—porcelain veneers.
Rejuvenate Your Smile without Braces
Do you wish you had a straighter smile, but you don’t want to spend months or years with braces? Porcelain veneers can help by covering imperfections to create a smile that looks naturally straight. Depending on your situation, though, hiding crooked, chipped, or misaligned teeth with porcelain veneers may not be your best option. That’s why we always recommend that patients dreaming of a straighter smile see us for a consultation visit before making up their minds. During a consultation visit, we can talk to you about the procedure, your smile, and your options. Then, if porcelain veneers really are right for you, we can begin working on your treatment plan immediately.
A Whiter Smile without Teeth Whitening
In addition to creating straighter-looking smiles, porcelain veneers can also help you overcome difficult teeth stains. After all, there are some stains that even the best professional whitening system can have trouble cutting through. But with porcelain veneers, you can enjoy a white smile without having to worry how effective your treatment will be or how long it will last.
