Veneers
In our image-conscious world, it can be difficult to feel confident when you have noticeable flaws in your smile.
Drs. Danny O'Keefe and Jan Belote use porcelain veneers to mask cosmetic issues and give you a picture-perfect smile.
Out of all cosmetic dental procedures, why do our Flowood, MS, patients choose veneers?
So What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin porcelain ceramic shells, (usually less than 0.5 mm thick) custom-made to fit over the front surface of your teeth. They are used to conceal common dental imperfections like cracks, chips, discoloration, and mild misalignment.
Once the tooth is prepared, the veneer attaches to the front of it, artfully concealing imperfections that mar your smile.

Their patience with Sean is amazing he leaves happy and not stressed, with beautiful clean teeth. We have moved out of state but we will continue to return for his dental care. I highly recommend!"

Candidates for Veneer Treatment
During your consultation at our Flowood, MS, practice, we will examine your teeth and determine whether dental veneers are right for you. While veneers are suitable for most patients, there are a few factors that can affect your candidacy...
Oral Health
Ideal candidates have good oral health with no signs of tooth decay or gum disease. if we detect a health problem, we will first provide the necessary restorative treatments before moving on to cosmetic dentistry.
Type of Dental Problem
Dental veneers are intended for cosmetic concerns, not problems affecting the strength of your teeth. If you have a large fracture or worn enamel you will most likely need a dental crown to repair the visible damage and reinforce the tooth structure.
Treatment Goals
It is important to understand that veneers will permanently alter your natural tooth structure. While treatment can last for a decade or more, you will eventually need to replace your veneers. If your goal is for temporary enhancement, our dentists can recommend an alternative cosmetic procedure that does not require maintenance.
What To Expect When Getting Dental Veneers
Dental veneer treatment typically takes two appointments spaced a couple of weeks apart at our Flowood office. Here are the steps involved in the procedure:
Veneers can last a decade or longer with proper care and maintenance.
