Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a very popular and versatile cosmetic dentistry solution for enhancing the beauty of your smile. Not all dental veneers are the same. Due to their popularity, more and more dentists are offering veneers, and there are some products on the market that are of inferior quality. Therefore, it is important to carefully select a highly trained cosmetic dentist who uses only the best quality veneers for beautiful, natural-looking results.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
A porcelain veneer is a very thin piece of porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of your tooth. Once bonded to your tooth the veneer is very strong and durable, so you can chew, talk, and smile normally. You can have one veneer or multiple veneers, depending on you needs and goals. Your veneers are carefully crafted just for you. They are shaped and colored to match your natural smile. Dental porcelain looks just like natural tooth enamel. It interacts with light in the same way as tooth enamel, so it looks real and alive, blending seamlessly with the surrounding teeth. Porcelain veneers are used on your front teeth.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can correct the appearance of many cosmetic dental problems, and they can solve multiple problems at once, so you do not have to have multiple procedures. Problems that porcelain veneers can correct include:
' Minor crookedness
' Severe staining or discoloration that does not respond to teeth whitening
' Small gaps between your teeth
' Chipped teeth
' Unevenly sized teeth
' Cracked teeth
Although you do have the option of choosing Invisalign to truly straighten crooked teeth, it takes time and commitment on your part. Porcelain veneers can painlessly correct the appearance of minor crookedness in two short office visits.
Deep discoloration may be removed by KöR Deep Bleaching', but some staining does not respond to whitening and can only be corrected by covering the tooth. Porcelain veneers can be used alone, in combination with other procedures, or even as part of a smile makeover. Because they can solve several problems at once, porcelain veneers can act as a mini smile makeover in themselves.
Unlike many dental procedures, porcelain veneers are minimally invasive and require very little time on your part. During your first office visit, your cosmetic dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a very thin layer of enamel. This helps form a strong bond when the veneers are placed and ensures that they do not add bulk to your teeth. Measurements of your teeth are taken after they are prepared so that your veneers will fit perfectly. The veneers are then made in a lab. During your second visit they are bonded in place.
