Porcelain veneers explained

Porcelain veneers are essentially a cosmetic “covering” for your teeth. Made of an ultra-thin sliver of ceramic, veneers are bonded to the front of your natural teeth to enhance the appearance of your smile. Our experience in custom-designing veneers means that you can trust the results will be natural-looking. The porcelain we use closely resembles natural tooth enamel with its translucence and luster. To put it this way, people will notice that you have a dazzling smile, but they won’t know that you have veneers.

Issues addressed by porcelain veneers

One of the reasons porcelain veneers have gained popularity is their versatility. They can be used on a single tooth or multiple teeth depending on the issues being addressed. Veneers are most commonly used to hide the following imperfections:

• Permanently discolored teeth

Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.

Caring for your porcelain veneers

Veneers are extremely durable and can be expected to last for many years. It is important to continue to practice good oral hygiene and maintain routine dental visits to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Veneers are stain-resistant, which means that you can enjoy your favorite dark-colored foods and beverages without worry about discoloration.

You should avoid biting or chewing on hard objects as it can potentially cause the veneers to break. However, if a veneer does crack, we can replace it.
