Porcelain veneers can dramatically change the look of your smile in a few short visits. They’re a popular option for cosmetic dentistry patients because they look natural, they last for years, and they provide a single solution that corrects many issues at the same time. This completely customized dental procedure not only improves your smile, but can provide a powerful boost to your confidence and self-esteem.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells permanently bonded to the front of visible teeth to create a new, beautiful smile. The porcelain reflects light similarly to natural tooth enamel and resists staining. Porcelain is the preferred material because it’s very durable and won’t irritate your gums.
- Completely remodel your smile without extensive, invasive dental procedures
- Match your natural tooth color, or lighten it dramatically
- Create a smile you can be proud of
- Be cared for similarly to your natural teeth
- Last 10-15 years or more (We’ve seen veneers last 30 years!)
Candidates for porcelain veneers
You may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers if you have:
- An uneven gum line, making your teeth look too long or too short
- Teeth that are crowded, crooked, or gapped
- Small chips in your front teeth
- Teeth that are stained or discolored beyond the help of whitening
Patients who are not good candidates for braces and who wish for a straighter smile also often find porcelain veneers to deliver the desired result.
Benefits of porcelain veneers
Custom porcelain veneers can be more expensive than some cosmetic dentistry treatments, but because they solve so many problems (and last such a long time), many patients consider veneers a worthwhile investment.
