What are some alternatives to porcelain veneers for Miami area patients?

Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. of Miami Modern Dental provide general and restorative dentistry solutions. They understand how important a beautiful smile can be and they offer a wide range of options regarding nearly any situation. For patients who are dealing with unattractive teeth, porcelain veneers may be suggested. These thin ceramic restorations are custom-made to cover the front of a tooth and disguise problems such as permanent staining, slight misalignment, gaps between teeth, and fractured teeth. However, they are not the only option. Several alternatives to porcelain veneers are available that patients may want to consider when making a decision regarding their dental treatment.

Bleaching

Patients with staining of the teeth’s surfaces will first want to attempt teeth whitening treatments. This can help in removing or reducing the stain. However, if staining is permanent and does not resolve with whitening, patients may want to consider veneers to cover up the discoloration.

Dental Bonding

Composite resin bonding is a popular treatment used as an alternative to porcelain veneers. It can provide many of the same benefits but does not last as long to complete as veneers. It is more affordable, and can be provided in just one appointment versus two. Composite resin bonding can cover staining, breakage, and even gaps between teeth.

Dental Crowns

Crowns may be used for teeth near the back of the mouth that have aesthetic concerns. This is because they cover the top and all sides of the tooth instead of just the front. They are also stronger and can withstand aggressive biting and chewing forces, making them more appropriate for the posterior teeth.
