Porcelain veneers can help patients in the West Ashley, SC area achieve a more attractive smile

Dr. Andrew Greenberg is a dentist in the West Ashley, SC area who offers his patients a wide selection of treatment options when they are faced with aesthetic imperfections within their smile. Gaps between teeth, permanent staining, breakage, and other cosmetic concerns may be an issue when patients are struggling with self-confidence. Instead of thinking that they have to just “live” with these aesthetic problems, patients are advised by the dental team of Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA on the many ways in which their smile can be improved. One of these ways is with the fabrication and placement of porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers are restorations that are commonly used for patients who have cosmetic concerns about their smiles. Many cosmetic issues can be disguised using this method of aesthetic dentistry. Dr. Andrew Greenberg finds that most patients are appropriate candidates for this method of treatment and discover that it is not only attractive but affordable.

Porcelain veneers are ceramic facings that are custom-made by our practice to cover problem areas. Patients have used porcelain veneers in complete smile makeovers or on their own to address single-tooth concerns. These dental veneers can be used to camouflage:

• Misaligned teeth
• Teeth that are broken
• Teeth that are too short or narrow
• Gaps between teeth
• Teeth affected by permanent staining

Dr. Andrew Greenberg will assess if patients are good candidates for veneers and discuss with them the possibilities of improving their smile. Porcelain veneers take some time to place and do require patients to remove a portion of the enamel from the natural tooth front. However, once placed, they can last a long time. They are durable and beautiful, and many patients find them worth the investment. Alternative solutions such as composite resin bonding can also be used as another option for patients who want same-day results. However, composite resin bonding can be easily stained and only last a few years, while porcelain veneers can last decades when properly cared for.

Dr. Andrew Greenberg of Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA urges patients to schedule a consultation appointment to learn about the advantages of these treatments and discuss the possibility of enhancing the natural smile with veneers or other alternative solutions.
