Porcelain veneers can be a wonderful cosmetic treatment option for patients who aren’t happy with their smile. Many people may suffer from worn or discolored enamel. They may also have chips or cracks in their teeth or spaces between their teeth that detract from their appearance. Veneers may be a viable option to address these issues and give patients the smile they have dreamed of having.
A veneer is a thin shell which is applied to the front of the tooth. They can be made of porcelain or a composite material and are usually fabricated in a dental laboratory. Porcelain veneers tend to be a little more costly than composite veneers, but should last longer.
The process of preparing teeth for veneers permanently alters the teeth. Because of this, if you simply want a whiter smile, a whitening treatment may be recommended by your dentist before treating with veneers. You should discuss your desires and expectations with your dentist at length so that you will be able to make the best, most educated decision about your cosmetic dental treatment. Your dentist is your best consultant and will know what option would work best for you to deliver the results you really want. We offer many different options and treatments, and want our patients to understand the process of cosmetic treatment and be completely satisfied with the results.
