A common cosmetic dental procedure is the placement of veneers. Porcelain veneers are custom-made porcelain shells used to cover the surface of your teeth. Veneers can be used to cover worn, chipped, or cracked teeth, and can even be used to improve the appearance of your teeth alignment. With porcelain veneers, patients get a bright smile with custom-shaped teeth that look and feel natural.
Why Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain is an incredibly durable material. Its color and texture closely match the look-and-feel of your natural tooth enamel, in turn, creating a natural-looking smile. Porcelain does not succumb to decay and is also difficult to stain.
Getting Porcelain Veneers
Your dental professional will work with you and answer any questions you have about getting porcelain veneers. Because your veneers will be custom-made to fit your unique smile, a series of cosmetic dental appointments will be needed to ensure a perfect fit and to match the color with the rest of your teeth.
Living With Porcelain Veneers
After the porcelain veneers have been permanently placed, they will look and feel just like your natural teeth. You will be able to eat the same foods and use your teeth just as you did before the procedure. Maintain good oral hygiene and tooth care, including brushing and flossing, to keep your porcelain veneers and smile looking their best.
