Fix Chipped or Broken Teeth with Porcelain Veneers

veneers can fix slightly crooked, chipped, or broken teeth

A chipped or broken tooth can change the way you feel about your smile in an instant. Whether it happened from a fall, biting into something hard, or gradual wear, even a small crack can be distracting. The good news? You may not need major dental work to restore your smile. In many cases, porcelain veneers offer a simple, long-lasting solution that looks and feels completely natural.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of a tooth. They’re crafted from durable ceramic material and color-matched to blend seamlessly with your other teeth. Veneers can be used to correct chips, cracks, minor misalignment, discoloration, or uneven spacing — all without removing a significant amount of the tooth’s natural structure.

They don’t just improve the look of your teeth. Veneers also restore strength and function, especially when minor damage makes a tooth more prone to further wear.

When Are Veneers a Good Option for Damage?

If the damage to your tooth is minor to moderate — like a small chip, surface crack, or edge break — a veneer may be ideal. It can reinforce the tooth and protect it from further harm, while also restoring its shape and appearance.

For deeper fractures or damage that affects the inner structure of the tooth, a dental crown might be a better choice. That’s why a thorough exam is the first step. The goal is always to choose the option that gives you both lasting function and a natural look.

What to Expect During the Process

The veneer process usually takes two visits. During the first appointment, the tooth is gently reshaped and an impression is taken. A temporary veneer may be placed while your custom version is crafted. Then, a custom veneer is created to fit perfectly. At the second visit, the veneer is bonded in place and polished to match your surrounding teeth.

The procedure is straightforward, and results are immediate. Most patients are surprised by how natural veneers feel once they’re placed.

Great overall experience getting a dental cleaning. Very friendly staff, beautifully designed office, and a comfortable experience watching calming Netflix nature programming while in the chair. Complimentary beverages are in the waiting room and so is a little play area for kids.It felt to me that this was a patient-focused family practice as opposed to a cold, corporate dental mill trying to churn through as many patients as possible.I’ll definitely be coming back here for all my dental needs and I highly recommend.

Dr. Nguyen and his staff are very welcoming and they provide an excellent experience every time I visit. I’ve only been here twice for annual checkups but would definitely consider and recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good customer experience and a very thoughtful approach to making sure that you feel at home. I have some procedures set up for later in the month and I must actually be the only person in the world actually looking forward to a dentist appointment.
