Conceal Imperfections With High-Quality Porcelain Veneers
Instead of using a crown, which covers the exposed part of the tooth, some patients may be better suited for a restoration such as porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are extremely thin restorations that look like a shell. They are created to cover only the front of a tooth to change the appearance of the smile. At Hebron Smiles of Carrollton, Texas, many patients seeking a solution for imperfections near the front of their smile may find porcelain veneers to be a viable option for their needs and budget.
What are porcelain veneers?
Our dentists at Hebron Smiles describe porcelain veneers as a cosmetic procedure used for the anterior or front teeth. These porcelain shells are custom-fabricated to match the patient’s existing teeth in shape, size, and color. A thin portion of the tooth enamel is removed before the veneer is bonded in place.
What can a porcelain veneer disguise?
Several imperfections can occur on the anterior teeth that can be effectively concealed using porcelain veneers. Below are a few situations in which veneers might be used to enhance the smile:
- Gaps between the teeth
- Chips or cracks on anterior teeth
- Permanent staining and discoloration
- Unusually short teeth
- Worn/broken teeth
- Misaligned teeth
What are the benefits of porcelain veneers?
Patients who are considering these restorations may have a variety of questions for their dentist before pursuing them. For example, some might be curious as to how long these restorations last. Porcelain veneers are typically in place for a decade or longer, as they are strong, durable, and stain-resistant. Veneers are also easy to care for and can be used in a variety of cosmetic situations.
