Are There Alternatives To Dental Veneers? By Cosmetic Dentistry Atlanta 1.

Dental veneers provide excellent results for patients wanting to make over their smile.
However, dental veneers aren't the right solution for everyone's needs. It is important to meet
with a skilled cosmetic dentist to determine whether you are an ideal candidate for dental
veneers. Depending on a number of factors, such as your oral health, cosmetic goals,
and financial capabilities, your dentist may recommend bonding or crowns.
Dental Bonding- Dental bonding is the process of applying a tooth-colored resin to the surface
of the tooth to restore it from the effects of wear and tear, aging, and decay. Your cosmetic
dentist will apply the resin material directly onto the tooth then sculpt and shape the tooth
to its desired profile. Your dentist will then apply a special light to the tooth's
surface so the resin material will harden.
Unlike the dental veneers process, the natural tooth structure does not need to be removed
for tooth preparation, however your dentist may etch your tooth enamel so the bonding
adheres correctly. Dental bonding is effective for repairing minor chips, cracks, and tooth
discoloration. Dental bonding can be a long lasting and natural looking alternative to
dental veneers. With good dental hygiene dental bonding can last for 10-15 years.
Dental Crown- Dental crowns are a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth to restore
its shape and size, and to improve its appearance. They are cemented into place, and are typically
permanent restorations of teeth. The determination as to whether a patient should have dental
veneers or dental crowns is based on what the patient and dentist are looking to achieve.
While both procedures can be highly aesthetic, the two treatments have different uses. Dental
veneers are used when a patient would like to improve the shape and color of their teeth.
Dental crowns are used in cases in which the teeth require more support or have less remaining
healthy tooth structure due to tooth decay or in cases in which a tooth has undergone
root canal therapy. Dental crowns can achieve all of the aesthetic advantages of dental
veneers and should only be used when necessary. Although there are many alternatives, sometimes
dental veneers are the best choice.
