Everyone wants a million dollar smile but many people are not born with perfect teeth. Porcelain veneers were once something only celebrities and the wealthy got to improve their smile. However, each year more and more people are getting porcelain veneers to correct dental problems and improve their appearance.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers
With
porcelain veneers, you can improve the appearance of chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, broken teeth, crooked teeth, and teeth that are too short or misshapen. When porcelain veneers are used they are perfectly fitted to the problem teeth to cover any of the aforementioned tooth problems. Porcelain veneers are thin, strong shells that are gently bonded to the front of problem teeth.
Do porcelain veneers look natural?
The mass appeal of getting porcelain veneers stems from the fact that they look very much like your own natural teeth. When done properly it is impossible to tell which teeth are covered with the porcelain veneers and which are not. They have a very natural appearance.
Porcelain veneers reflect light in the same way as natural tooth enamel. When a person gets porcelain veneers the
cosmetic dentist matches the veneer to their natural tooth color so that it blends perfectly. Unlike older
tooth replacement and correction materials, porcelain veneers do not become stained or discolored over time and they protect the teeth below them.
Many people get more than one porcelain veneer done at once but it is possible to get just one tooth covered with a porcelain veneer. However, if you are unhappy with your teeth in general you can have porcelain veneers done in conjunction with other dental corrective procedures. In fact, porcelain veneers can eliminate the need for many dental procedures like bonding, teeth whitening, and orthodontic straightening.
