By using porcelain veneers or crowns, we re shape your natural teeth, restyle the curvature of your smile and craft a perfect set of teeth that will fit your mouth and make it look completely proportional.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of teeth to improve their appearance. They are a popular cosmetic dentistry option for correcting a variety of dental issues, including open bite.

An open bite is a dental condition where the upper and lower teeth do not come together properly when the mouth is closed. This can create a gap between the upper and lower teeth, which can make it difficult to bite, chew, and speak properly. It can also lead to jaw pain, headaches, and other dental problems.

Porcelain veneers can help correct an open bite by altering the shape and size of the teeth. The veneers are custom-made to fit over the front of the teeth, and they can be designed to improve the bite and create a more natural-looking smile.

The process of getting porcelain veneers typically involves several steps. First, the dentist will evaluate the patient's teeth and determine if veneers are a good option for correcting an open bite. If so, the dentist will take impressions of the teeth to create a model for the veneers.

The dentist will then remove a small amount of tooth enamel from the front of the teeth to make room for the veneers. This is typically done using a local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. Once the teeth have been prepared, the dentist will place temporary veneers on the teeth while the permanent veneers are being made.

When the permanent veneers are ready, the dentist will remove the temporary veneers and place the permanent ones on the teeth. The veneers are bonded to the teeth using a special adhesive, and any excess material is trimmed away.

Porcelain veneers can be a very effective way to correct an open bite, as they can be designed to fit the patient's teeth perfectly and create a more natural-looking smile. They are also very durable and can last for many years with proper care.

It is important to note that porcelain veneers are not a one-size-fits-all solution for every dental problem. Patients who are considering veneers should talk to their dentist about whether they are a good option for their specific needs and goals.

In addition, patients who have an open bite may also need to address any underlying dental or jaw issues that may be contributing to the problem. This may involve orthodontic treatment, jaw surgery, or other dental procedures.

​

​

Overall, porcelain veneers can be a very effective way to correct an open bite and improve the appearance of the teeth. Patients who are considering veneers should talk to their dentist about the benefits and risks of the procedure, and work with their dentist to develop a treatment plan that meets their specific needs and goals.
