What are porcelain veneers?
Veneers are facings bonded onto the front of a tooth to change its appearance. These thin restorations are made of porcelain and are custom-fabricated for a patient to match their facial features and own personal preferences. Porcelain veneers are made to cover a variety of imperfections that might be impacting the appearance of the smile. This includes:
- Gapped teeth
- Permanently stained teeth
- Chipped/cracked teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Unusually shaped teeth
- Misaligned/crooked teeth
What are the advantages of porcelain veneers?
When it comes to addressing smile imperfections, some patients might have multiple options available to them. This includes veneers, composite resin bonding, dental crowns, and even orthodontic work. However, many patients choose porcelain veneers for their many benefits. Below are just a few reasons why our team may recommend these restorations for improving the appearance of the smile:
- Natural-looking appearance: Because the veneers are made of porcelain, which closely resembles tooth enamel, the final results look completely natural.
- Color matching: Porcelain veneers are made to match the color of the patient’s teeth, if only a few teeth are being done, to ensure seamless integration,or if all the teeth that show when a patient smiles are being veneered the shape and color can be almost anything the patient wants.
- Stain-resistance: Porcelain veneers are resistant to stains, allowing them to last longer than alternative treatments such as composite resin bonding.
- Durability: With proper care, patients can expect their porcelain veneers to last a decade or longer before replacement may be required.
