Does dental veneers solve many esthetic cases... yes.  Do veneers solve "all" cases... no! In these situations we may need to use two different techniques to optimize the outcome of the cosmetic case.

Orthodontics only

Does orthodontics work in all  cases... again no!  If the teeth are of poor color that do not bleach effectively or are chipped or mis-shaped then orthodontics may not solve the problem. Orthodontics can mean something like Invisalign or full orthodontics with bands and brackets.  It all depends upon the movements and position of the teeth.

A case in progress Denver Dentist

The following is a case in progress in our office. Basically the orthodontics if finished and we are planning on either some type of dental bonding or dental veneers.

These are actual cases that Dr's DeLapp have completed or are in the process of completing. The following case is a good example of the fact that it may take several different dental disciplines in order to get the result we seek.








This case shows the remarkable nature of orthodontics. The space between the front teeth was excessive and there is no way that our Denver Dentists could improve the esthetics. The reason for the wide gap (diastema) is a frenum attachment between the front teeth. The frenum is very fibrous tissue that can keep teeth apart. The teeth will stay apart until this tissue is removed. One of the first steps in this case was to remove the frenum attachment.

Stage 2 Orthodontic Denver Dentist

The Second stage was for the orthodontist to approximate the two front teeth. This took a couple of years to get accomplished and the outcome was very good.

Stage three Dental veneers or dental bonding Denver Dentist (pending)

The last stage our Denver Dentist and patient is looking at is one of the following:

• No treatment leave as is ( a much better result than the before!)
• Teeth whitening or teeth bleaching only (for a brighter smile)
• Dental filling to fix the broken tooth on #9 patients left central incisor
• Dental bonding to fix the broken tooth#9 and add to the worn tooth #8 patients right central incisor
• Dental veneers and dental whitening to align both front teeth

Each of these options has their pluses and minuses. Cost may be the deciding factor. As far as anticipated longevity the dental veneers on most patients is the longest lasting service. The issue is this is the greater economic investment (dental veneers cost more).
