Porcelain Veneers
“Veneers” refers to placing a dental material on the front of teeth. The material usually extends over the edge of the teeth and wraps around the sides slightly. The effect is that the teeth are altered in appearance without removing much if any of the natural tooth structure. Using veneers, you can change the shape size and color of the teeth, effectively creating the smile you desire. Although resin materials can be used for this process, the most common method is using Porcelain Veneers.
Porcelain Veneers are constructed to be very thin and still very strong once they are bonded to your teeth. Porcelain is not only strong enough to restore the edges of your teeth, it is also very resistant to stain, so that your new smile can remain bright for a very long time and translucent enough to mimic the vitality of natural teeth. The artistic combination of the technician who crafts the veneers and the dentist who places the veneers is critical to achieving a functional, beautiful result, so selecting an experienced cosmetic dentist is very important.
