Veneers
are ultra-thin shells of ceramic porcelain material, which are bonded to the
front of teeth.
The
application of veneers requires little or no anesthesia, and can be the ideal
choice for improving the appearance of the front teeth.
Porcelain
veneers are placed to mask discolorations, to brighten teeth, and to improve a
smile. Highly resistant to permanent staining from coffee, tea, or even
cigarette smoking, the wafer-thin porcelain veneers can achieve a tenacious
bond to the tooth, resulting in an esthetically pleasing naturalness that is
unsurpassed by other restorative options.
These
veneers can be an excellent alternative to crowns. They provide a more
conservative approach to changing a tooth's color, size, or shape. They can
mask undesirable defects, such as teeth stained by tetracycline, an injury, or
as a result of a root-canal procedure, and are ideal for masking discolored
fillings in front teeth.
Patients
with gaps between their front teeth or teeth that are chipped or worn may
consider porcelain veneers. Generally, veneers will last for many years, and
the technique has shown remarkable longevity when properly
performed.
Porcelain
veneers are a very effective way to enhance your smile. They can change the
color, spacing, alignment, length, or shape of your teeth. |
