Porcelain veneers are a commonly used treatment in a smile makeover. Their appeal lies not only in their immediate results, but in their effectiveness in correcting a wide range of tooth defects.
A veneer consists of a thin shell of porcelain that is attached to the front surface of each tooth that is visible in a smile. Our extreme makeover cosmetic dentist uses them routinely to brighten smiles while hiding a variety of physical defects.
• Severe stains and discoloration
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Misshapen, crooked or uneven teeth
• Short teeth and other malocclusions
• Gaps between teeth
Besides their effectiveness with correcting the above issues, they have many benefits over other treatment options.
• Natural appearance: The properties of porcelain make it reflect light in a very similar way to natural teeth, making veneers look completely natural.
• Durable: Porcelain is a very strong substance, so veneers made of this material are extremely durable, often lasting for 15 years or longer.
• Stain resistant: Porcelain will not absorb stains from the usual staining culprits, like coffee, tea and red wine.
• Relatively short treatment time: Porcelain veneers can be placed in as little as two dental visits.
