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.
