Of course, most people would prefer to hide their gapped teeth if they could. With cosmetic dentistry, there are many options available to hide any number of imperfections, including gapped front teeth. If you aren\u2019t sure which option is right for you, it\u2019s worth considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/veneers.html\">porcelain veneers in Uptown Houston<\/a>. Not only can you hide gaps in your front teeth, but you can do a whole lot more with just one cosmetic dental option.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Can Porcelain Veneers Hide Gapped Teeth?<\/h2>\n<p>The two front teeth attract all the attention in your smile for a number of reasons. Not only are they the largest teeth in your visible smile, but they are located right in the center for all to see. Therefore, it\u2019s very important that these teeth in particular look the way you want them to. With porcelain veneers, you can do precisely that.<\/p>\n<p>As long as you have good oral health overall, you can have a pair of porcelain veneers custom-shaded, sized to your exact preferences, and placed over your gap. Once a small amount of enamel is removed in order to make room for the restorations, they can be bonded directly on top, effectively hiding the gap and making your smile look radiant and complete.<\/p>\n<h2>What About Gaps in Other Teeth?<\/h2>\n<p>Porcelain veneers are not exclusively for front teeth. In a way, they can act as instant orthodontics because of their ability to cover gaps in all visible parts of your smile. Gaps are largely visible in the smile no matter where they are located, so if you don\u2019t want to deal with traditional braces or clear aligner treatment, you\u2019ll find porcelain veneers to be perfect for changing your smile\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Porcelain Veneers are More Ideal<\/h2>\n<p>Porcelain veneers are perfect for hiding gaps in teeth, but it\u2019s far from their only benefits. Not only can you hide gaps in teeth, but you can cover permanent discolorations that may have appeared either externally or internally. That means you won\u2019t have to worry about teeth whitening treatment, saving you money.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, porcelain veneers can hide cosmetic chips and cracks in teeth that may have occurred as a result of an injury. These imperfections can stand out easily in a smile, but a porcelain veneer can effectively replace the crack with a brilliantly white tooth!<\/p>\n<p>Porcelain veneers in particular are very durable, lasting between 10 and 15 years after placement when practicing regular at-home care. They\u2019re also incredibly smooth, which makes them far more resistant to stains than natural tooth enamel.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a cosmetic treatment that is versatile and capable of hiding multiple gaps in your smile at a time, consider veneers from a cosmetic dentist in Uptown Houston today!<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/meet-dr-alani.html\">Dr. Terri Alani<\/a> is an expert in all things cosmetic dentistry, including the fabrication and placement of porcelain veneers.
