Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a popular choice among patients wishing to dramatically improve the appearance of their smiles. Porcelain veneers are thin, yet strong. They fit directly over your natural tooth structure and cover flaws such as worn, misshapen, or stained teeth. Because they are highly esthetic, they can give the appearance of a perfect smile while still having the benefit of your natural tooth.
In order for dental veneers to look natural and non-bulky, we need to polish away some of the enamel on the front of your teeth. This creates room for your porcelain veneers as well as allowing them to adhere firmly to your natural teeth.
Because the removal of this small amount of your enamel, porcelain veneers are a lifelong commitment. Most patients who have porcelain veneers wish they had the procedure sooner because they fall in love with their new smiles!
If your porcelain veneers sustain damage from biting into something unexpected, like an olive pit or seed, or if they become worn due to a clenching or grinding habit, we can replace your veneers so they always look great and protect your teeth.
If you do clench and grind your teeth, a nightguard can protect them from damage while you sleep and prolong the life of your dentistry. Regular dental exams, professional dental cleanings, and x-rays can also help us to prevent damage to your restorations.
Porcelain veneers are strong, beautiful, and can last for many years with the proper care. They are one of the most versatile ways to improve your smile and can even make your teeth look straight if you have overlapping or misalignment.
