Porcelain Veneers: The Matching Game
Want to make sure that your “new” teeth match your “old” ones? With porcelain veneers, it’s possible.
The function of a porcelain veneer is largely cosmetic; your chipped, stained, or uneven teeth can be made more attractive. While other materials can be used, porcelain provides a superior, more natural result. It also tends to be longer-lasting than rival materials, such as resins.
What steps are involved in the porcelain veneers process? Initially, the cosmetic dentist draws on his/her experience to prepare a design for the porcelain veneer that is appropriate for your facial shape and smile. Some enamel is then removed from the tooth to prepare it for the veneer. When the dental laboratory has prepared the porcelain veneer to order, you and your cosmetic dentist make certain that it fits correctly and is right in every way. It is then bonded to the tooth.
Be sure to consult with your dentist on whether porcelain veneers are the right choice for you. But if the decision is to go ahead, be prepared to dazzle your friends with your new, stain-resistant smile!
