The Transformative Power of Porcelain Veneers
For patients who have gaps in their smile, chipped or cracked teeth, or excessive stains, there’s a cosmetic dentistry option that may be appropriate to address these issues: porcelain veneers. These ultra-thin shells are designed to look like your teeth. Each veneer is bonded to the front surface of a tooth to help create a near-total smile makeover. Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular and versatile cosmetic dental services today.
Common Reasons for Choosing Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are permanent, and we prepare your teeth for them by sculpting a small amount (often less than 0.5 mm) of enamel from the front surface of the teeth. Some of the many reasons veneers may be recommended include
- Having excessive stains that are not responding to professional teeth-whitening
- Having blemishes with teeth that bonding and contouring are unable to address
- Having a variety of different blemishes on one or more teeth
- Wanting to completely makeover your smile with minimal alterations to your teeth
