Veneers

We love working with patients to help them figure out and accomplish their smile-related goals, and dental veneers are always a popular option. Veneers are porcelain shells that cover the teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing outward appearance while protecting the health and strength of the teeth beneath. They are highly customizable and can be used to conceal many kinds of visible issues, making them a great option for:

• Chipped teeth
• Permanently discolored teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Teeth with unsightly ridges or grooves
• Significant tooth wear
• Gaps between teeth

If you have any questions about veneers or their application or would like to learn more about Hall Family Dentistry’s specific process, don’t hesitate to call us in Indianapolis today at (317)-356-0919 or send us a message.

There are several common misconceptions about veneers that can prevent some patients from reaping the benefits of this great, dependable option. Some common misconceptions:

• The process is painful
  In staying true to our commitment to a comfortable patient experience, our cosmetic dentist Dr. Hall uses specialized equipment and a local anesthetic to remove pain from the equation.
• The material is fragile
  The porcelain used for dental veneers is designed to replicate the strength of real teeth, so you can expect the same use you’d normally get (if not better). Still, just as with your real teeth, it’s best to avoid biting anything too hard or habits like chewing ice.
• They’re only for appearances
  While they absolutely improve a smile’s appearance, veneers are often functional as well. They can help protect weakened teeth to restore full chewing ability or repair damaged molars.
