Your smile’s needs aren’t just different from everyone else’s; they can also differ as you age. For example, while you may have only needed checkups and cleanings for years, you may now need to consider cosmetic treatment, as well, to improve your smile’s appearance. In many cases, porcelain veneers can help patients address a wide variety of cosmetic issues with only a single procedure. Because of their diversity and their highly lifelike appearance, porcelain veneers can completely makeover your smile while minimizing the time you have to spend in your dentist’s chair.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
A veneer is a thin shell of dental porcelain, which can be customized to the point that it closely mimics the color, texture, shade, and luminescence of your healthy, natural teeth. Each veneer is hand-crafted according to highly precise measurements and molds of your teeth, and can be bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to completely reinvent their appearance. A veneer completely covers the visible portions of a tooth, creating an instant makeover for your entire smile.
The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Because veneers are ultra-thin and only cover the fronts of your teeth, they require minimal alterations to your healthy tooth structure in order to be placed. Therefore, preserving a maximum amount of your tooth structure (compared to undergoing multiple cosmetic procedures) is one of the main benefits of choosing porcelain veneers. Others often include:
- The treatment is less disruptive to your schedule.
- Veneers can instantly improve your self-confidence.
- Porcelain veneers are easy to maintain with good hygiene and regular dental care.
