Porcelain veneers in Canton

What Is a Veneer?

Veneers porcelain is a type of thin dental porcelain that looks and acts like the tooth's enamel. A veneer is permanently adhered to the surface of one or more teeth, improving the way that your smile looks outwardly. They can correct minor aesthetic issues like:

• Size and Shape: Veneers are a versatile treatment option that can hide chips in a tooth, as well as address issues the size and shape of the teeth. In addition to this, they can be used to lengthen teeth that have been worn down by tooth grinding at night (also known as bruxism).
• Tooth Color: Porcelain teeth can also improve the shade of your smile. It's normal for tobacco products, coffee, tea, aging, and certain medications to contribute to your teeth becoming discolored, dingy, or yellow. If you haven't been happy with the results of traditional whitening treatments, veneers can bring your teeth back to their natural brightness. You can even go beyond the natural brightness of your teeth with veneers!
• Alignment and Spacing: If you have small gaps in between your teeth that are in need of correction, you may not have to wear braces. Veneers may be able to address the problem. They are also able to be utilized to fix minor tooth alignment issues.

The porcelain veneers procedure is painless. Before you have your veneers applied, your dentist will take an impression of the teeth so that the fit on your veneers will be fully customized. Your dentist will probably need to take off a tiny portion of the tooth's enamel. The amount of enamel that will be removed depends on the type and brand of the veneers being used.

Are Porcelain Veneers Different from Porcelain Crowns?

Crowns are different from veneers in that crowns fit directly over the entire tooth. Veneers cover only the front surface area of your tooth. In addition to this, crowns provide more structural support for a tooth. This is why they are frequently used for cosmetic or restoration work that takes place within the back of the mouth. They are also used in cases where a person has lost a lot of tooth structure because of age, decay, injury or tooth grinding.

How Long Will Veneers Last?

Many patients believe that the longevity offered by veneers makes the overall porcelain veneers cost well worth the investment. Many types of veneers last for decades.
