Should You See What Veneers Can Do For Your Smile?
The way you feel about your smile can change in time. You may have felt confident in your appearance for many years, but recently started to worry that wear and tear is affecting the way you look. This can be the result of gradual enamel erosion and wear and tear, or due to the accumulation of stains that dull your smile. Patients who express interest in cosmetic dental work can worry about these gradual changes, a recent problem caused by dental damage, or problems that have always made them self-conscious about the way they look.

Veneers change the color, shape, and overall appearance of teeth by covering their fronts with thin, durable shells that only require minimal preparatory work for placement. Our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office can discuss this treatment with you, or we can review the benefits of one of our other cosmetic dental services. (more…)
