A veneer will correct this for you, allowing you to eat and speak like normal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cover severe stains<\/strong>.\u00a0 If your tooth was somehow stained beyond repair, a veneer can be placed over the top to cover it completely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gaps<\/strong>.\u00a0 Many people have small gaps in their teeth but don\u2019t want to wear braces.\u00a0 This procedure can close the gap in a matter of months, instead of years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Uneven teeth<\/strong>.\u00a0 Teeth that are uneven can look unsightly.\u00a0 Veneers can correct this problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For people that want to fix a tooth that has been damaged, there are several ways of doing so.\u00a0 Dental veneers are among the best and work in most situations.\u00a0 We encourage patients also to consider other teeth or smile problems that they are currently having.\u00a0 If you are having one tooth repaired it may be wise to do the other one or two that you dislike so that your entire smile looks natural and beautiful.\u00a0 The process is the same, and multiple teeth can be completed at one time.\u00a0 To find out if <em>dental veneers<\/em> are right for you, contact Texas Dental West.\u00a0 We will conduct a thorough dental exam to determine if this is the best procedure to help you achieve your goals.\u00a0 If not, we will recommend something else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have been in an accident, dental veneers can restore your teeth to their former appearance and functionality.\u00a0 Teeth are&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[21],"class_list":["post-652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dental-veneers","tag-dental-veneers"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":22,"label":"Dental Veneers"}],"post_tag":[{"value":21,"label":"Dental Veneers"}]},"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"reddy","author_link":"https:\/\/www.texas-dental.com\/index.php\/author\/reddy\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":22,"name":"Dental Veneers","slug":"dental-veneers","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":22,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":4,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":22,"category_count":4,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Dental Veneers","category_nicename":"dental-veneers","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":21,"name":"Dental Veneers","slug":"dental-veneers","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":21,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texas-dental.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texas-dental.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texas-dental.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texas-dental.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texas-dental.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=652"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.texas-dental.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texas-dental.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texas-dental.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texas-dental.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
