How Veneers Transform Uneven or Mismatched Teeth

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells that adhere to the front surface of your teeth, expertly designed to correct visible imperfections like uneven sizes or shapes. When it comes to achieving a seamless, symmetrical smile, veneers are a top choice thanks to their durability, aesthetics, and natural appearance. Here’s how they help balance the look of your teeth:

• Length and Width Correction: Veneers can make short or narrow teeth appear longer and fuller, matching surrounding teeth more closely.
• Symmetry Enhancement: They are custom-shaped to align each tooth more symmetrically with the rest of your smile.
• Gaps and Overlaps: Mild spacing issues can often be resolved by subtly reshaping existing teeth with veneers.

Each veneer is hand-crafted and designed to look beautiful and balanced, and to match perfectly with your existing natural teeth. This ensures a balanced and harmonious result.

What Causes Tooth Size Irregularities to Begin With?

Tooth size irregularities are more common than you might think. And they’re not always due to external trauma or damage! In many cases, they’re simply part of your genetic makeup or the way your bite has developed over time. Some common causes include:

• Genetics: Naturally small lateral incisors or peg-shaped teeth are often inherited traits.
• Tooth Wear: Grinding (bruxism) and aging can cause teeth to shorten or become uneven.
• Trauma or Injury: Chips or fractures can create visible size differences between teeth.

Understanding the cause of your tooth size issues allows Dr. Myers and the Myers + Co. team to recommend the most customized solution. After all, every smile is unique, and yours deserves personalized care.

Why Choose Porcelain Veneers Over Other Solutions?

While options like bonding or crowns can also address uneven teeth, porcelain veneers are often preferred for their balance between durability, aesthetics, and conservative treatment. 

Veneers are especially ideal when multiple front teeth are involved and you’re looking for a natural smile upgrade that will last for years to come. Here’s how veneers compare to other common treatments for uneven teeth:

• Bonding: More affordable but less durable and prone to staining.
• Crowns: Cover the whole tooth and require the removal of much more tooth material, typically used for restorative purposes.
• Veneers: Preserve more of your natural tooth and resist wear and stains better than bonding.

At our Cary office, we use premium dental materials and digital smile design to ensure your veneers look lifelike and function comfortably, because true confidence starts with a smile that feels like you.
