Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

A veneer is a simple and easy way to improve the appearance of teeth.
Dental veneers are thin pieces of porcelain bonded to the surface of a tooth to improve its appearance. They are custom-designed to achieve the most attractive look for each patient. A veneer is tooth-colored and reflects light just the way natural teeth would. They do not stain easily, making them a great choice for those who want to look perfect.

Veneers give a natural look to your teeth.
This type of dental restorations might take more than one appointment to complete, but the results look natural! An imprint of your teeth is taken at your first appointment. This impression is sent to a laboratory where veneers will be made. Veneers are custom-made to mimic the color and shape of natural teeth and match the enamel color.

A dentist sculpts each veneer exactly on the mouth to create a natural-looking smile when the veneers arrive from the lab, and it is time to place them. 

Porcelain veneers are minimally invasive.
A dental veneer is a less invasive restoration option than other options offered by a practitioner. To place them, the dentist first removes 1/2 millimeters from the surface of the treated tooth, instead of 20 millimeters needed for a crown. A special cement is used to set each veneer overlay after the tooth’s surface is shaved down. During the placement and management of the veneers, the dentist may make small adjustments to their size or color to ensure that the veneers look and feel as natural as possible.

A veneer is a long-lasting and durable material.
The porcelain veneers are permanent and resist decay and staining more effectively than normal teeth. Did you know this? Due to the non-porous nature of veneers, they are more resistant to staining and cavities compared to your natural tooth enamel. Dental veneers will typically last between 10 and 15 years as long as they are properly cared for.

In the case of enamel loss, veneers are a viable option.
Although your teeth’s enamel is extremely strong, it can still wear away by too much tooth brushing, acid reflux disease, or acidic foods. It is believed by most people that once the tooth enamel wears away, it can never be replaced. Using veneers to replace enamel is aesthetically pleasing and provides durability.

A dental consultation could be the best solution if you are conscious about your smile. You can receive porcelain veneers for many years, and they are easy to care for. Compared to your natural enamel, they provide your teeth with additional strength and durability. Plus, the benefits to your social and aesthetic lives are enormous.
