What Problems do Porcelain Veneers Correct?
Porcelain
veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic
dentistry restorations available and can
correct a variety of aesthetic imperfections with your smile. They consist of
thin shells of porcelain which get bonded to the front surface of your teeth.
Your porcelain veneers procedure can be completed in two visits to your
cosmetic dentist’s office.
Your porcelain veneers can be designed to fit the unique
shape of your teeth, and your cosmetic dentist can match their color to the
shade of your natural teeth. This ensures your porcelain veneers will look very
natural and blend in seamlessly with your smile.
Common problems addressed by porcelain veneers include:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Irregularly shaped teeth
- Teeth that are worn down
- Crooked teeth
Often, porcelain veneers are called “instant orthodontics”
due to their ability to improve the appearance of crooked teeth in just a few
short office visits. Unlike traditional orthodontic treatment which can take
one to two years to complete, porcelain veneers can give you the appearance of
straight teeth in a matter of weeks. However, it is important to understand
that porcelain veneers do not actually straighten your teeth. They simply
provide you with a cosmetic fix. If you want to address the underlying cause of
your misaligned teeth, you will need to undergo orthodontic treatment.
