Dental veneers before and after photos are an important way for patients to see the transformations that this cosmetic dentistry treatment can offer. They may help in deciding whether the procedure is right for them and can also be used as inspiration during the planning process.

Dental veneers can cover up a variety of aesthetic imperfections that affect the smile. These include discoloration that doesn’t respond to teeth whitening treatments and chipped or worn down teeth. They can also mask minor misalignments and gaps between teeth that can cause an unattractive appearance.

Dental Veneers Before and After: Transforming Your Smile

Once the veneers have been made in a laboratory, your dentist will bond them to the tooth using dental cement. They will also check the fit and bite of the veneers and make any necessary adjustments. They may also use a curing light to activate the cement and harden it quickly.

If your smile goals are fairly simple, you may not need the full set of veneers recommended by your dentist. This will help keep the cost down and give you a more natural look. You can also choose to have composite resin veneers instead of porcelain. These require less enamel to be removed, may take fewer office visits, and are easier to repair than porcelain.

The patient in this case suffered from heavily stained and worn teeth with noticeable “ditching” at the gum line, a condition called abstraction. Dr. McOmie placed 8 veneers that completely transformed her smile. The crafted work by our master ceramists can be seen in the detailed details that give the veneers a lifelike quality.
