Introduction to Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can make a huge difference in the appearance of your smile. They are one of the most dramatic cosmetic dentistry procedures available. Veneers are thin surfaces of porcelain that are cemented to your teeth. They give your smile a new look, a look that can be brighter, whiter, straighter, and more shapely. Porcelain veneers can be used to correct:
They can be used on one tooth, a few teeth, or all front teeth. Sixteen veneers is usually considered a "complete set." When veneers are used to correct crooked teeth, they are often called "Instant Orthodontics" because they straighten teeth in a few weeks instead of the year or more necessary for traditional orthodontics.
Porcelain veneers are a better solution for many people than other options. Although tooth whitening can dramatically lighten teeth, the effects are temporary, whereas porcelain veneers, properly cared for, will never stain. As a solution for cracked or chipped teeth, porcelain veneers are also a good solution because they can add strength as well as a good-looking surface. And for people wanting to correct minor crookedness in their teeth, porcelain veneers have the benefit of not only being "instant," but because they do not move the tooth root, they are not subject to drifting out of place again and therefore a retainer is not necessary.
If you would like to learn more about the potential of this cosmetic dentistry procedure, schedule a porcelain veneers consultation with Dr. Charles Janes in Hannibal, Missouri today.
