When a patient wishes to improve the shape, color, size, or length of their teeth, Dr. Vela and Dr. Ng may recommend dental veneers in Corpus Christi, Texas. Dental veneers are custom-made shells that are made to cover the front of your teeth to improve their beauty. Our dentists may recommend dental veneers for a number of reasons. Dental veneers can improve the color of stained teeth. When teeth are worn down, dental veneers can improve their shape. Chipped, broken, or cracked teeth can be restored with the use of dental veneers. Our dentists may recommend dental veneers to repair slightly crooked or crowded teeth. The appearance of irregularly shaped teeth can be improved with dental veneers. Gaps and spaces between teeth can be closed using dental veneers. Dental veneers can be made from either porcelain or resin composite materials. Porcelain dental veneers are more stain resistant than resin composite veneers. Porcelain veneers also reflect light like natural teeth. Resin dental veneers are thinner than porcelain veneers, so they do not require as much tooth enamel removal before placement. Ask our dentists which dental veneer type is right for you. We invite you to contact Vela Dental Centers Southside today to learn more and to schedule your next visit.
