Why would I need dental veneers?

Dissatisfied with the color of your teeth

Dental veneers can improve the color or staining of front teeth, especially in patients who have tried dental bleaching (whitening) and are not satisfied with the results.

Dental wear or grinding

Over the years, grinding of teeth can slowly reduce the height of a patient’s front teeth. Porcelain veneers can increase the height of a patient’s front teeth to the original form and function before the teeth were worn down.

Chipped, broken, or traumatized front teeth

Previous trauma to teeth can often create an unaesthetic appearance. Teeth can turn grey or dark years after the trauma. Often, the old crowns or fillings that were placed at the time of the trauma no longer match the adjacent teeth. Dental veneers can be used to create a beautiful, natural smile for all front teeth.

Small tooth size

Many patients are born with smaller than average teeth. Often, this occurs on the top teeth called lateral incisors. Dental veneers can correct and size discrepancies and give you the smile you have always wanted.

Spaces between teeth

Spacing can also be corrected with orthodontics or braces but it is often preferable and quicker to close the spaces with porcelain veneers.

Please visit our page on dental veneers to learn more!

What can a dental crown do for me?

Crowns are predictable and reliable.

If Dr. Nelson recommends a crown for one of your teeth, that treatment option is the most predictable and longest-lasting choice for that tooth.

They are made from the strongest materials.

Dental Crowns cover the entire chewing surface of the tooth with a very strong material that is highly resistant to fracture or chipping. This means you can enjoy your favorite foods without worry.

Our dental crowns are very esthetic.

Dental crowns are also very esthetic and are indistinguishable from other natural teeth. They are also more resistant to staining which allows you to smile with confidence.

They feel just like your natural tooth.

Dental crowns feel the same to your tongue and lips because they replicate the natural anatomy of your natural tooth.

Crowns are maintained just like your natural teeth.

Brushing and flossing are performed in the same manner as with natural teeth.

Crowns provide protection from future decay.

The tooth is much more resistant to dental decay and cavities because the crown material cannot be decayed by bacteria.

Will my dental implant look like my other teeth?

Yes! We can make your dental implant match your adjacent natural teeth by using the most esthetic techniques.

Experienced dentists who provide esthetic and comfortable care.

Drs. Benton and Nelson are experts at restorative dentistry and implants. They have many years of experience at replacing missing teeth in the mouth.

The best materials at a local Winston-Salem dental lab.

While dental implants can be made by labs anywhere in the world, Drs. Benton and Nelson work with a local lab right here in the Winston-Salem area. Using a local lab ensures Drs. Benton and Nelson that they have an experienced technician who they know, and guarantees that the lab will use the strongest and most esthetic materials.
