Porcelain veneers
What are porcelain veneers?
Veneers are thin layers of porcelain that are bonded to tooth enamel. The outer part of the tooth is replaced with porcelain, a material with aesthetic properties very similar to natural enamel. Porcelain veneers are a highly durable cosmetic dental treatment and an excellent option for people who want to improve their smile.
Are porcelain veneers right for you?
The effectiveness of porcelain veneers depends on the amount of tooth enamel they are placed over. Your prosthodontist can determine if veneers are the right treatment for you.
The following conditions are easily corrected with porcelain veneers:
- One or more chipped teeth
- An unsightly, stained or faded repair
- Misshapen, crooked or spaced teeth
- Dark, yellow or discoloured teeth
- Misshapen or rice grain teeth
Advantages of porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers have a natural-looking appearance and offer superior esthetics. Unlike composite restorations, they won’t stain or wear out. Veneers can also correct aesthetic problems caused by misaligned front teeth without the need for orthodontic treatment.
