Porcelain Veneers

What’s the use of a cavity-free set of teeth if you cannot even show them when you smile because they are stained and discolored?

What’s the use of your white teeth if can’t even be proud of your smile because they are crowded and crooked?

A healthy set of teeth should be bright, even, beautifully aligned, and perfectly shaped. That is why, when talking about function, aesthetics, and dental health, you should think of Porcelain Veneers.

Porcelain Veneers are a Cosmetic Dentistry procedure that repairs cracked, chipped or misshaped tooth. Made from tooth-colored thin porcelain shells, Veneers are applied over the surface of a tooth and cover worn out enamel, cracks or uneven teeth. It serves primarily as a protective coating to prevent further damage caused by wear and tear, but it can also be used for aesthetic purposes as it can improve the shape, size, and length as well as the color of the teeth.

When do you need Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain Veneers are a good cosmetic dentistry option if:

• The enamel of your teeth is worn out. Genetic predisposition and habits (such as medication, smoking, and consumption of tea, coffee, and carbonated beverages) contribute to the thinning, wearing out and discoloration of the enamel (the hard-white substance the covers the teeth).
• Your teeth have seen the best of times. – As you age, your teeth age with you. Natural wear and tear often leads to chipping, cracking or uneven appearance.
• You are not gifted with good genes. – Accept it, nobody can have everything. So if you are born with a less than perfect set of teeth or with irregular spaces between teeth that grow wider as you age, porcelain veneers are just what you need.
• You have uneven teeth. – As a result of grinding or general wear and tear, your teeth become uneven and unattractive.
• Your teeth do not positively respond to any tooth whitening option. A Veneer covers the surface of your tooth, meaning they conceal the discolored or stained teeth and result in brighter, whiter teeth.
