How Dental Porcelain Resembles Natural Teeth

Not everyone is happy with their smile, but fortunately, there are several ways to improve overall smile appearance. For patients looking to address multiple cosmetic concerns at once, porcelain veneers offer a highly-lifelike solution. As with dental bonding, veneers can address chipped or broken teeth, gaps, and irregular shapes in teeth, but can also address and camouflage minor misalignment such as tooth overlap. Our doctors and team can help examine your smile and determine if veneers are the right cosmetic option for you.

Redesigning Your Smile With One or Several Veneers

Consisting of thin shells of dental porcelain, veneers are crafted to the precise measurements and unique appearance of your teeth. Porcelain is renowned for its uncanny ability to catch light in a similar manner to natural teeth, thus providing lifelike results that are virtually seamless. To ensure a proper fit, your dentist may perform a small amount of enamel sculpting before bonding the veneer in place using dental cement. Additionally, the surface of your veneer is stronger and more stain-resistant than natural tooth enamel, allowing you to maintain a brighter smile for longer with proper care and maintenance.

Customized smile improvement is made easier and less invasive with the help of one or more custom-crafted porcelain veneers. Our office sees patients for single veneer treatment several times a week, and we are ready to help you achieve your smile goals.
