Porcelain veneers are often used for the same reasons as bonding (to lighten stains, close gaps
and even alter crooked or malformed teeth). They are considerable more durable and stain
resistant than bonding.
The veneer is actually a thin piece of porcelain similar in size to a fingernail. Once it is
"bonded" onto the tooth it becomes extremely strong. It also blends in with the remaining tooth structure so
that it is unnoticeable to the naked-eye. Once in place, it looks, feels, and functions just like a
regular tooth.
Porcelain veneers can be utilized to change the shape and color of a single tooth or if necessary,
revamp an entire smile. Porcelain veneers can also be used to correct teeth that have been worn
from clenching and grinding.
Please call for a consultation. You may ask any questions you have about the
benefits of porcelain veneers.
