What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers thin sheaths of high-quality dental material that fit to the front of your teeth to mask dental flaws. Each set of porcelain veneers are custom made for each patient.
There pretty simple to apply in most cases. After a comprehensive dental exam, your cosmetic dentist will evaluate a variety of aspects about your smile and face overall to create your perfect teeth. If you’re considering getting porcelain veneers, you should take the time to weigh out your pros and cons with your dentist.
The Pros of Porcelain Veneers
Because porcelain veneers are permanent, you’ll be able to enjoy these benefits for years to come:
- Porcelain veneers can easily whiten your smile. If you’re an avid coffee drinker or love to sip wine, your teeth may be less than white. Rather than continuously bleaching your teeth, get porcelain veneers with stain-resistance.
- Porcelain veneers can fix minor cosmetic problems. If you have slightly crooked or gapped teeth, your most embarrassing flaws can be simply covered. Although your natural teeth won’t change positions to officially fix the problem, porcelain veneers can camouflage minor orthodontic problems.
- Porcelain veneers can replace damaged tooth enamel. There are many reasons why tooth enamel can become worn down, but the real concern is that tooth enamel does not grow back. Porcelain veneers are an excellent treatment for teeth with eroded enamel and can be aesthetically pleasing at the same time.

- The most prevalent thing to remember about porcelain veneers is that they are permanent. You need to be prepared to take care of your veneers with appropriate maintenance to help them last for years to come.
