Veneers
are a fantastic way to fix front teeth. Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin
shells of
porcelain which are bonded onto the front side of teeth to make a cosmetic improvement
in their appearance. Porcelain veneers are routinely used to correct:
Broken or chipped teeth
Permanently stained or discolored teeth
Spaces between the teeth (diastemas)
Unsightly, stained or washed out fillings
Mis-shapen or crooked teeth
Whiten dark yellow or stained teeth
Porcelain veneers
are the answer for instant orthodontics to straighten smiles,
close spaces, reshape, and accomplish minor realignment of your teeth giving
you
the smile you've always wanted.
Veneers are very
thin and are bonded on the front of your anterior teeth. They are
approximately 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm in thickness but are very strong once bonded
to your teeth. They have a "life like" appearance with the strength,
beauty, and durability only porcelain restorations can afford. Veneers have
several advantages over crowns (caps). There is no "dark line" that
is sometimes seen with older front caps. They transmit light better and, therefore,
have a more translucent appearance giving a natural, esthetic look.
