What are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are thin shells of either porcelain or composite, which are bonded onto the front, and usually the chewing surface, of your teeth. With veneers we are able to strengthen the tooth, change the shape and/or position of the tooth, and create the desired color for the tooth. Using only veneers we can often create the smile you have always wanted.
Veneers are very thin porcelain shells that are custom made and permanently bonded to the front surface of each involved tooth. Veneers are strong and natural-looking that many dentists consider the techniques “cloned enamel”. This durability and natural beauty has caused a revolution in cosmetic dentistry.
Veneers are very thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are the most cosmetic treatment available today to quickly and naturally improve your smile. These restorations are made in a dental laboratory to correct color, shape, chips/fractures, spaces, and alignment concerns. While orthodontics can correct the alignment, they have no affect on color or shape of teeth.
Porcelain Veneers are the most conservative and popular esthetic restorations available in dentistry today. A thin layer of the front of the tooth is removed to allow a veneer of porcelain to be bonded to the tooth without making it any thicker. Similar, in a way, to a false fingernail, the veneer covers dark or yellow teeth, fills unsightly gaps, lengthens short or stubby teeth, straightens crooked teeth, and in general creates a more attractive smile. Unlike a false fingernail, veneers are more permanent. The veneers are attached to the teeth using the most advanced methods of bonding principles.
