Porcelain veneers are thin shells that cover the front of your teeth to dramatically improve their appearance. They are a popular cosmetic dentistry solution that can be used to address a number of issues, including cracked, chipped, discolored, misaligned, or uneven teeth.
They Are Easy to Maintain
One of the best features of porcelain veneers is that they are designed to look natural and can be matched to the color of your surrounding teeth. This is a big benefit for patients who want to achieve a brighter, whiter smile.
They are Stain-Resistant
Veneers are made from durable, high-quality ceramic materials that can withstand normal wear and staining. This means that they can resist coffee, wine, and other staining agents and still look their best over the years.
They Are Affordable
If you have severely stained, misshapen or discolored teeth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. This is especially true if you haven’t responded well to teeth whitening treatments, or if you have deep staining from tetracycline.
They Are Fast and Efficient
The veneers are crafted from a high-quality dental ceramic material that Porcelain veneers can be fabricated in a single visit. This makes them faster and easier to place than traditional dental bonding or composite fillings, which require several visits.
They Are Durable
Because they are crafted from high-quality dental ceramic, porcelain veneers can be extremely strong and resilient. This is particularly important if you are prone to clenching or grinding your teeth. They can also be resistant to damage caused by biting hard foods or opening and tearing packages.
They Are Comfortable and Natural Looking
Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for addressing aesthetic problems that haven’t responded to other restorative procedures. They are aesthetically pleasing and offer the long-term results that you want to see from a smile enhancement treatment.
They Can Be Customized to Your Specific Needs
In order to achieve a natural-looking result, porcelain veneers must be crafted specifically for your individual needs. This is why it is critical that you receive a consultation from a qualified dentist who will take the time to thoroughly assess your oral health and discuss your personal goals for improving your smile.
They Are Resistant to Bleaching
The porcelain material used in the construction of veneers is naturally opaque, so they are not affected by whitening agents in strips, toothpastes, or rinses. This is another great feature for people who are hesitant to undergo whitening treatments due to their fears of sensitivity or side effects.
They Can Be Made from a Wide Range of Shades
During the veneering process, your dentist will remove a small amount of tooth enamel to make space for the shells. This allows the dentist to create a more uniform surface for the veneers’ adhesive application.
They Are Usually Customized and Made in the Same Day
Depending on the extent of the work, porcelain veneers can be crafted in our office on the same day as your appointment. This is very convenient for many patients.
