DENTAL PORCELAIN VENEERS
Porcelain Veneers are ceramic facings bonded to front surfaces of anterior teeth. The veneers can camouflage teeth irregular shapes, colors, and contours so as to create a beautiful healthy smile with well-aligned teeth. In addition to being esthetically pleasing, dental veneers can also serve a functional purpose by protecting the surface of a damaged tooth. Since the average thickness of each porcelain veneer is usually less than 0.75 mm, very little tooth preparation or reshaping is done. Once bonded, the porcelain veneers are strong and durable. However, patients are still advised to avoid biting on hard foods or objects to prevent chipping.
How do I choose between Dental Veneers and Teeth Whitening? Both teeth whitening and dental veneers can help create beautiful healthy smile. Yet, teeth whitening are more suitable for patients with healthy aligned teeth but with extrinsic stains from coffee and tea. Dental veneers are appropriate in patients who have irregular teeth shapes and contours, intrinsically stained teeth such as tetracycline stains, and uneven teeth alignment. Consult your cosmetic dentist to find out more pros and cons of each treatment.
