Can a Cosmetic Dentist Use Porcelain Veneers for Crooked Teeth?

Porcelain veneers are one of many cosmetic treatments available with Dr. Monti Harpalani of Vivid Dental. These restorations cover imperfections that may impact the teeth at the front of the smile, often called “anterior teeth.” With the help of our Houston, Texas team, you can enhance the overall look of your smile quickly and easily with porcelain veneers.

What are porcelain veneers?

Dr. Monti Harpalani describes veneers as coverings for the teeth. The tooth or teeth being covered by the veneer will be filed down before impressions are made. Our dental ceramist uses these dental impressions to fabricate a facing that is then bonded onto the front of the tooth to disguise the problem. Porcelain veneers are primarily aesthetic and are considered an elective dental treatment not covered by most dental insurance plans. However, they can be affordable and financed through our office if patients are worried about the cost.

Can veneers be used for crooked teeth?

Absolutely! Dr. Monti Harpalani finds that porcelain veneers are wonderful for many imperfections that can impact the teeth near the front of the smile. In addition to masking crooked teeth, these restorations can also improve teeth that are:

• Permanently discolored or stained
• Gapped
• Chipped or cracked
• Unusually shaped
• Worn down
