Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells usually placed on the fronts of the teeth. At Marcial Dental PC, they are custom-made to fit your mouth and address the problems you want to correct, such as chipped or worn teeth, gaps between teeth, or tooth discoloration. These wafer-thin shells are placed on the front sides of your teeth and are bonded to the underlying tooth using durable resin cement. In this way, they provide strength and resilience to the natural tooth structure while improving its appearance.
Many patients choose porcelain veneers because their ultra-thin shells can be tinted to match the surrounding teeth and are virtually undetectable to others. They also resist staining from foods and beverages that cause natural teeth to become discolored. The translucent material reflects light, making your smile look more natural and healthy. Veneers are also stain-resistant and require minimal maintenance besides regular brushing and flossing.
The Procedure for Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to your teeth' front surfaces. To prepare for placement, the teeth are lightly buffed to allow for the small added thickness of the veneer. Then, a small amount of enamel is removed from the front of each tooth receiving the veneer to make room for the new restoration. After reshaping the teeth and receiving temporary restorations, patients return to our office to bond their permanent veneers in place. This involves etching the surface of each tooth and bonding an acidic resin material to the surface that will harden into a durable replacement for the lost enamel layer. The resin is then polished to match the rest of the teeth for a natural-looking appearance. This procedure takes approximately two to three visits to complete.
The Advantages of Porcelain Veneers
Natural-Looking Results
Porcelain veneers are designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth. They have a translucent quality that reflects light similarly to natural tooth enamel, resulting in a natural-looking smile. The shade and shape of veneers can be customized to match the surrounding teeth and achieve a seamless blend.
Stain Resistant
Just say no to coffee and red wine stains! Veneers are stain-resistant to keep your smile beautiful and bright for years. Just brush twice daily for two minutes and floss at least once daily to keep your gums healthy.
Aesthetically Pleasing Smile
Porcelain veneers can address various cosmetic concerns, such as tooth discoloration, stains, chipped or cracked teeth, misshapen teeth, gaps between teeth, and minor misalignments. By covering these imperfections, veneers can significantly enhance the overall aesthetics of your smile and boost your self-confidence.
