Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are a wonderful and versatile treatment that can correct minor cosmetic dental issues. Veneers can fix many common problems such as gaps, stains, chips, cracks, and even minor alignment issues with one’s teeth. The effects of a correctly applied porcelain veneer can create a dramatic difference in your smile.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are custom-made using thin layers of porcelain laminate to seamlessly match the surrounding teeth’ color and shape.  It is even possible to change the shape and color of the teeth, if needed, to improve your smile dramatically. Dentists remove a small bit of a tooth’s surface and then permanently bond the veneer. These coverings can last upwards of 15 years, and often even longer, with proper oral care. Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains and are more natural-looking when compared to direct resin bonding, or fillings.

Are Porcelain Veneers Right for Me?

Porcelain veneers, as indicated above, can be utilized to correct a  variety of cosmetic issues, making them a popular choice for those suffering from:

• Stained or discolored teeth
• Gaps between their teeth
• A crooked smile

• Misaligned teeth
