If years of stains or small chips have made you hide your smile, veneers may help. They are thin shells that cover the front of the teeth, and Dr. Brittany Pierpont shapes each one to look natural.
We will talk about alternatives too, since some people do well with whitening or bonding alone.
Porcelain or composite
Porcelain tends to resist stains longest, while composite can sometimes be completed more quickly. Dr. Pierpont explains what each means for upkeep and cost.
Ask as many questions as you like; this is your decision.

Is bonding enough?
Bonding repairs one or two teeth with composite resin in a single visit. If your concern is limited, it may deliver what you wanted for less.
If you later want a larger change, veneers remain an option.

When the tooth needs more
Veneers cover only the front surface, so a tooth that is badly worn or cracked may need a crown instead. We say so honestly.
A crown protects the whole tooth, not just its look.
