Smile with porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are often used for the same reasons as bonding (to
lighten stains, close gaps and even alter crooked or malformed teeth).
They are considerably more durable and stain resistant than bonding.
The veneer is actually a thin piece of porcelain similar in size to a
fingernail. Once it is "bonded" onto the tooth it becomes extremely
strong. It also blends in with the remaining tooth structure so that it
is unnoticeable to the naked-eye. Once in place, it looks, feels, and
functions just like a regular tooth.
Porcelain veneers can be utilized to change the shape and color of a
single tooth or if necessary, revamp an entire smile. Porcelain veneers
can also be used to correct teeth that have been worn from clenching and
grinding. Please call for a free cosmetic consultation. You
may ask any questions you have about the benefits of porcelain veneers.
