Veneers and Laminates
We all want white, beautiful teeth, but sometimes preventative dental care isn’t enough. If your teeth have discolorations, chips, gaps, or cracks, you may benefit from dental veneers or laminates in Spokane, WA. At Jarvis, Nelson, & Pedey Family Dentistry, we offer both procedures in our office. Patients choose us because they trust us to provide excellent patient care and dental services they can trust.
What Are Dental Veneers?
A dental veneer is a thin cover made from porcelain or composite resin. The dental veneer fits over the front of the tooth to cover discolorations, chips, and other cosmetic defects. Dental veneers are thick enough that they require the front of the tooth to be shaved down to make room.
Once the front of the tooth has been shaved to make space for a dental veneer, the patient will always need a dental veneer to be on that tooth. The dentist will match the color of the veneer to your other teeth to make the veneer look as natural as possible.
What Are Dental Laminates?
A dental laminate is similar to a dental veneer, but it’s much thinner. Dental laminates are often used to cover discolorations but can’t be used to cover gaps in the teeth because they’re so thin.
Which One Is Right For You?
Whether dental laminates or veneers are the right choice for you depends on your goals for your teeth. Your dentist at Jarvis, Nelson, & Pedey Family Dentistry will help you decide whether dental laminates or veneers are right for you.
