If you’re looking to improve the aesthetic of your smile, porcelain veneers may be the right choice for you.
Porcelain veneers are permanent, highly durable additions that will dramatically change your appearance for the better. For those with good oral health, veneers can transform unsightly teeth into the smile of a lifetime.
Porcelain veneers are made of extremely thin medical-grade ceramic (aka porcelain). They provide a shell-like covering for a natural effect that matches the existing teeth. Veneers are stain resistant and can even be used to reposition teeth for certain orthodontic adjustments.
But first, your cosmetic dentist must approve you as a candidate.
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for veneers. People with tooth decay, gum disease, or other infections should avoid the procedure and get treatment for these conditions. Additionally, perpetual teeth and jaw grinders may not be suited for porcelain veneers.
If you have good oral health, you may be a candidate for porcelain veneers to treat the following issues:
Gaps and spaces - If you have unsightly gaps and spaces, porcelain veneers can be bonded on the teeth next to the gap(s), effectively increasing their width and filling the space.
Misshapen teeth - Porcelain veneers are an effective solution to cover up defects on the surface of the teeth from wear and tear due to clenching or grinding. Prolonged clenching and grinding can cause the front surface of the teeth to become irregular, rough, and susceptible to stains.
Chips and cracks - Veneers are also a great method to fix chipped, cracked, or malformed teeth that contribute to a less-than-ideal aesthetic.
Stains and discoloration - Upgrade the entire shade of your smile with durable veneers that are resistant to stains and discoloration.
Most people can improve their smile using porcelain veneers, but it is important to have your teeth examined for other problems that may need to be addressed first before veneer placement. Please contact us to schedule an appointment with Dr. Dani for an initial consultation to determine if you are a candidate for porcelain veneers.
