What Makes Porcelain Veneers Effective?

Porcelain veneers are caps that cover only the fronts of teeth rather than all sides as crowns do. Most often used for cosmetic improvement, this treatment hides virtually all common flaws affecting front teeth. Here is a look at how this treatment from our cosmetic dentist in East Los Angeles is so effective.

 

Permanent Concealment

 

Other cosmetic dental treatments can be used to address many of the issues that veneers can hide, including stains, cracks, chips and gaps. However, veneers are exceptionally durable and offer a single solution when multiple problems are present. Veneers are tinted and shaped on a custom basis, ensuring that the results also look completely natural.

 

Restorative Value

 

Because veneers add thickness to the teeth on which they are bonded, they actually offer reinforcement. This can be valuable for protecting teeth that are at risk of breaking after being cracked or otherwise weakened. Teeth sensitivity and risk of decay on front teeth can also be addressed this way.

 

Thanks to the resistance porcelain has against stains, veneers also are effective at helping patients keep a bright white smile long after they get them. Patients can visit our expert in porcelain veneers in East Los Angeles to find out if this treatment will be effective for their goals.
