What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Besides being the key to your bright smile, lets discuss exactly what porcelain veneers are. These dental veneers are incredibly thin shells that are made of dental porcelain, and your dentist will cement them over the surfaces of your teeth to correct various dental issues you may be having. The ultra-thin shells are created for each tooth that needs veneers. Your dentist will take custom molds of your teeth after gently buffing and shaving down enamel, to make sure they fit perfectly. Not only are your veneers completely custom, but they can last as long as 15 years!
How Can Porcelain Veneers Fix My Smile?
Porcelain veneers can fix most, if not all, of your cosmetic dental problems. Read below to see if you have teeth issues that fall on our list:
- Discoloration: Stains and stubborn tooth discoloration cannot always be fixed by teeth whitening or other cleanings. Porcelain veneers can offer a cosmetic solution that will make your teeth look whiter than ever.
- Uneven teeth: Do you grind your teeth? Or maybe you don’t like the shape of some of your teeth? Either way, the placement of porcelain veneers can level out your smile, and even help you chew better.
- Worn enamel: Over time, your tooth enamel can become worn and not as strong. Veneers are a perfect way to make your enamel feel new again.
- Wear and tear: The older you get, the more your teeth will wear down or begin to crack. Porcelain veneers can restore the youth back into your smile.
- Genetics: We know you can’t do anything about your genetics, so if you were born with abnormal teeth or spacing, sometimes these can get worse with age. Porcelain veneers can fill up gaps or cosmetically change how your teeth look.
These are the most common issues porcelain veneers can fix. Whether you see your cosmetic issue on the list or not, asking a dentist about your options is your first step in the right direction.
Are Porcelain Veneers Right for Me?
The best way to find out is to book a consultation visit with your dentist. During your visit, the dentist will make sure you know about the procedure and treatment processes. Once you’ve decided that porcelain veneers are your best option, you can help be a part of the smile design process.
In the smile design process, you will be able to give your own opinions on the width, color, shape, and length of your veneers. That, in combination with the information your dentist gives the lab, will ensure you receive veneers that compliment your appearance. Your dentist wants to make this process as easy and beneficial to your smile as they can.
Whether you have one of the cosmetic issues we discussed above or want more information about how porcelain veneers can better your smile, the next step is to schedule a consultation with a trusted dentist in Norwalk.
