Dental Veneers: 7 Fast-Fixes For Lafayette Smiles

Dental Veneers: 7 Fast Fixes For Boulder Smiles

Hi! Welcome to the Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry dental blog where we take the time to answer some of the questions dental patients in the Boulder area are curious about. Today we are focusing on fabulous veneers, which are used extensively in cosmetic dentistry.

Dental veneers (also called laminates) are custom made to permanently cover the front part of one or more teeth. Wafer-thin, super-strong veneers can correct a variety of problems including:

1. Chips
2. Cracks
3. Stains
4. Teeth that are misshapen
5. Teeth that are too short
6. Teeth that are misaligned
7. Gaps between teeth

When you get veneers, your Boulder, Boulder County, and Lafayette, CO dentist will first make a model of your teeth. Then, a dental technician uses the model to create the veneers. In some dental veneers procedures, a small amount of the enamel from the face of the tooth has to be removed so the veneers can be placed. In such cases, the procedure is irreversible.
