Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material, which are bonded to the
front side of teeth to mask imperfections, discolorations, brighten teeth, or to improve a smile. Highly resistant to
permanent staining from coffee, tea, or even cigarette smoking, 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.
Porcelain veneers are an excellent alternative to crowns in many situations. They
provide a much more conservative approach to changing a tooth's color, size, or
shape. Porcelain veneers can mask undesirable defects, such as teeth stained by
tetracycline, by 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 reasonable facsimiles of natural teeth, not perfect
replacements. It's not uncommon to see slight variations in the color of porcelain
veneers upon close inspection, as this occurs even in natural teeth. Nevertheless,
this procedure can greatly enhance your smile, and can heighten inner satisfaction
and self-esteem.
