About Porcelain Dental Veneers

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers are cosmetic enhancements that cover the outer surfaces of teeth. Made from high quality porcelain, a veneer is an ultra-thin, tooth-shaped enhancement that is cemented over teeth to conceal smile imperfections. When multiple veneers are used, they can produce a total smile makeover. These cosmetic enhancements permanently cover chipped, misshapen, cracked, and stained teeth. They can also make a smile appear straight, proportionate, and uniform.

Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for enhancing your smile because the color and translucence of porcelain is a great match for the natural appearance of tooth enamel. Porcelain is stain resistant as well, so your smile will stay bright for years to come. With dental veneers, you can achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you will love to show off

The Pros and Cons of Porcelain Veneers

The most notable benefit of porcelain veneers is how natural they look next to your given teeth. The sheer and shiny surface improves your tooth’s appearance. Other pros of porcelain veneers include:

• Blending nicely with other teeth and gum tissue
• Resistant to staining such as that from drinking wine or tea
• Can be combined with tooth whitening to achieve a brighter appearance that matches the new veneer
• Does not require as much tooth shaving and reduction as dental crowns, but still offers a strong base and improvement
• Does not need special care, just proper oral hygiene including brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and rinsing with water or mouthwash after meals
• Long-lasting results
• A streamlined process that provides improvement within 2-4 visits
