Veneers usually come up when the issue is not one tooth but the whole front of the smile. Maybe the color never responded to whitening, or the edges have worn unevenly over the years. It is a bigger decision than bonding, and Dr. Cannon treats it that way, walking through the plan with you before anything gets started.

Dental veneers are very thin shells, typically made of porcelain or resin, that are bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance the beauty of your smile. Our dentist may recommend dental veneers to correct several types of smile imperfections. Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for enhancing your smile because the color and translucence of porcelain is a great match for the natural appearance of tooth enamel. Porcelain is stain resistant as well, so your smile will stay bright for years to come. Resin veneers can also be matched to your natural tooth color. With dental veneers, you can achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you will love to show off.

Our dentist may recommend dental veneers if you would like to improve the appearance of your smile. Custom-made veneers can be used for just one tooth or for your entire smile. We may suggest veneers to:

Close large spaces and gaps between teeth
Whiten teeth that are severely stained or discolored
Improve the appearance of irregularly shaped teeth
Correct slightly crooked teeth
Restore teeth that are broken, chipped, worn or fractured

About Dental Veneers

A veneer covers the front of a tooth roughly the way a fingernail covers a fingertip. Because each one is made for your tooth instead of picked out of a drawer, this is not a same-day treatment. There is a planning stage first, and Dr. Cannon will go over shape, length and color with you before anything is ordered.

Porcelain resists staining

Benefits of Dental Veneers

Front teeth get looked at more than any other part of your mouth, including by you. When they do not match each other, one shorter, one darker, one chipped, your eye goes straight to it. Veneers even that out, and because the plan covers several teeth at once, the result reads as one smile instead of a run of separate repairs.

What to Expect

Nothing about veneers gets decided in a hurry here. The first visit is mostly talking and looking, at what bothers you, what is realistic, and what it would mean to do nothing for now. Dr. Cannon has practiced in Holladay since 2002 and would rather you leave undecided than committed to something you are unsure about. If that conversation is easier in Spanish, every person on our team speaks it.

Common Questions

Does getting veneers hurt?

Most of what people picture comes from the preparation stage, and anesthetic is used for that, so you should not feel the work itself. Teeth can feel sensitive for a while afterward, and that usually settles. Tell Dr. Cannon if you are nervous and he will slow down and say what he is doing as he goes.

How many visits does it take?

More than one. Veneers are custom made, so there is a visit to plan and prepare, a wait while they are made, then a visit to fit them. We will lay the schedule out at your consultation so no part of the timeline catches you off guard.

Do I have to do all of my teeth?

No. Veneers can be done on a single tooth or across the front of your smile, and Dr. Cannon will tell you what he thinks matches your goals. Sometimes the honest answer is that whitening plus one veneer gets you most of the way there for a lot less.

What does it cost?

Cost depends on how many teeth are involved, so we price your actual plan instead of quoting a range you read somewhere. Cosmetic treatment is often not covered by dental insurance, but we will check your plan and tell you exactly what it says. CareCredit® and our in-office membership plan, which includes discounts of 20 to 35 percent depending on the procedure, are both options if you are paying out of pocket.

How do I take care of them?

Brush and floss the way you already do and keep up with your regular cleanings. Try not to use your front teeth as tools, since opening packages, biting nails and chewing ice are what tend to chip them. If you grind your teeth at night, mention it, because that changes what Dr. Cannon recommends.

Terms You May Hear

Veneer: A thin shell bonded over the front of a tooth. It changes how the tooth looks without covering the whole tooth the way a crown does.
Porcelain: A ceramic material used to make veneers. It handles light much the way natural enamel does and does not take up stain as readily.
Consultation: The first appointment, where nothing is drilled. It is for looking at your teeth, hearing what bothers you, and pricing out the choices.
