Veneers are thin shells that cover the front of a tooth. They help with deep stains, worn edges, chips and spaces. Dr. Brittany Pierpont places porcelain and composite veneers at Pier Dental.
She will not push them. Some enamel is removed for good, so we weigh other routes first. Our office is in St. Pete Beach, about 20 miles from Bradenton in a straight line.
Compare the two materials
Porcelain is hard and glossy and resists stains. Composite is shaped by hand on the tooth and usually costs less.
Which one suits you depends on your bite, habits and budget.

Whitening may be enough
If color is the only concern, take-home whitening can solve it without any enamel removal. It also gives a fixed shade to match.
We suggest trying it before you decide on veneers for dull teeth.

Strength under the surface
A veneer is a thin layer, so it needs a healthy tooth beneath. Where a tooth is heavily filled or cracked, a crown is stronger.
We examine each tooth before we plan, so your investment is protected.

About Bradenton
Bradenton is named for Dr. Joseph Braden. Names stick for generations, and a veneer is meant to last for years too, so planning matters.
The $499 yearly savings plan gives veneer patients 10 percent off, and CareCredit can spread payments. We will compare them for you.
Call Pier Dental at (727) 363-6169 and ask for a veneer consultation. Ask how many visits to expect, and we will schedule them with your travel in mind.
