Porcelain Veneers - What Are They?
Porcelain dental veneers are thin porcelain shells that are directly bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are able to cover chips and stains and can even be used to fill gaps between teeth. The veneers are matched precisely to the color and size of your natural, existing teeth in order to construct a smile that looks as natural as possible.
The ceramic that forms porcelain veneers closely resembles natural tooth enamel. This is because, much like real tooth enamel, porcelain veneers are translucent. When light strikes a natural tooth’s surface, it is not immediately reflected off. Instead, it penetrates the tooth enamel and reflects off the opaque tooth dentin that lies just beneath. This translucent effect is what gives teeth their luster. By replicating this, porcelain dental veneers provide patients with bright, natural looking smiles.
Porcelain dental veneers can also cover and repair cracked, chipped and stained teeth. Because porcelain veneers are custom crafted and fitted by our team of cosmetic specialists, there's plenty of room to customize and improve much more than just the color of your teeth. Crooked, chipped teeth can have their appearances improved to give you a beautiful new smile.
