Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front of the teeth, and Indian Shores patients can have them designed by Dr. Brittany Pierpont to look like their own.
Indian Shores patients hear every option first, including whether whitening or bonding would meet the goal without veneers.
Porcelain or composite shells
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that cover the front of the teeth, correcting color, shape, size and spacing. In Indian Shores, patients often ask for a bright smile that still looks like their own.
Slightly crooked teeth can be improved too.

When a crown is the better choice
A veneer covers only the front, while a crown covers the whole tooth. An Indian Shores patient with a cracked or heavily restored tooth may be steered toward a crown instead.
Dr. Pierpont explains the difference.

Whiten first, then plan
Home whitening can brighten natural teeth before veneers are matched to them. Indian Shores patients with sun-faded smiles sometimes find whitening alone is enough.
Veneers do not whiten like enamel.
