Dental Veneers in Andover, MA
There are multiple types of dentistry, but the main ones are preventive, restorative, and cosmetic. At Andover Cosmetic Dental Group in Andover, we are capable of providing treatment and procedures that fit into any of these three categories, but cosmetics is definitely the fastest growing.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on changing the appearance of the teeth without affecting their function. We have noticed that many of our patients, even when they have healthy teeth, are dissatisfied with the appearance of their smile. This is why we now offer treatments like veneers to change the look of the teeth while keeping them healthy and intact.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin shells for the teeth constructed from porcelain or tooth-colored resin. At Andover Cosmetic Dental Group, we customize them for each patient using contemporary technology. The veneers are then bonded to your teeth, resulting in a semi-permanent change in the appearance of your smile that can last for up to twenty years.
Veneers are used to smooth and even your smile while also addressing any minor cosmetic issues that might be bothering you. Our patients have previously requested veneers to deal with:
- Gaps between their teeth
- Permanent discoloration
- Teeth that are longer or shorter than the rest
- Minor chips and cracks
Who Can Wear Veneers?
Veneers are not recommended for patients who are under sixteen years of age because the teeth are still changing and shifting. Patients who are sixteen or older, though, can request this cosmetic treatment. Veneers need to be placed over teeth that are freshly cleaned and healthy. Individuals who are currently dealing with tooth decay, gum disease, or similar issues should wait to have the treatment done.
