Dental Veneers and Dental Laminates

Got Gaps in Between Your Teeth? Dental Laminates Can Help

Do you think that dental laminates, which are more commonly called dental veneers or porcelain veneers, may work for you to close the gaps in between your teeth? It is a good idea to fix any problems with your teeth that make you feel self-conscious when smiling. The more confident you feel about your smile, the more likely you are to smile! Now is the time for you to figure out which solution will fix the gaps in between your teeth.

Tooth gaps

There are many reasons someone would have gaps in between their teeth. One of the more common is that it is simply a natural development when the teeth begin to grow in. Other reasons include having missing teeth, extra teeth, small teeth, large jaws and being diagnosed with a condition that causes the fraenum (which attaches the tongue to the bottom of the mouth) to be restricted.

While these gaps typically begin to close on their own as the teeth settle in, this does not always happen. Sometimes the gaps will stay, and when they do, many people will look into options for closing them.

Laminates

Laminates are a common cosmetic choice for those who have either small or large gaps in between their teeth. They consist of very thin pieces of porcelain shells that an experienced dentist will carefully manipulate in order to minimize or eliminate any tooth gaps someone has. Since the laminates are always custom made for each individual patient, they can expect them to seamlessly match the rest of the teeth. This means when someone smiles after getting laminates to close their tooth gaps, no one will be able to tell the difference between the laminates and the natural teeth.

Are laminates the right choice for you?

Now is the time for you to evaluate whether laminates are a fit for fixing your tooth gaps. There are quite a few dental procedures available today that can help improve one’s smile, making it necessary for you to find the one that is right for you.
