Porcelain veneers are a nice option when you want to be able to recreate your smile. Veneers are made using thin porcelain by placing them on your teeth. When you have veneers, you can slightly alter the positioning of your tooth. You also have the ability to change the color, size and shape. What makes porcelain a great choice is that it is both resilient and strong, just about the same level as your natural enamel.
The ability of porcelain to stand up to consistent wear and tear makes it great for a choice in veneer material. Not only is it going to stay strong with constant chewing, but there are a number of other reasons, including:
Resistance To Staining From Cigarettes, Tea And Coffee
Dental veneers are used to cover the surfaces of teeth to enhance their appearance.
A veneer is a thin shell made of porcelain or plastic resin material which is used to cover the surfaces of teeth. In order to create room for the veneer a small amount of tooth structure must first be removed. Two appointments are generally required. During the first appointment the teeth are prepared, molds are made, and the color for the veneers is chosen. Temporary veneers may also be made at this appointment.
Once the veneers have been fabricated in our dental lab they are ready for bonding onto the prepared tooth surfaces. Veneers are an excellent restoration that can change the appearance of the teeth and give you a beautiful and natural smile.
