Porcelain Veneers are thin shells of medical-grade porcelain, or ceramic, that are attached to the front surfaces of teeth by a dentist, this creates and instant transformation for the patient. Veneers are usually made special for each individual so that they look just like the surrounding teeth and no one can tell that they are in fact porcelain veneers. Dentists use veneers for many cosmetic corrections that include orthodontic adjustments, teeth whitening, and more. Because veneers are extremely lifelike and provide many functions they are one of the most popular procedures and are one of the most trusted in cosmetic dentistry.
Porcelain veneers can help many patients, since veneers have a wide variety of cosmetic uses many patients can benefit from them. If you have gaps between teeth, cracks, chips, discoloration, and more they can help you. There are, however, some conditions which patients need to abide by. Patients looking to get veneers must have healthy enamel, since a thin layer is usually removed to place the veneers, they must have good periodontal and oral health, and must be committed to proper oral hygiene. There are also many types of veneers, not just porcelain, including pressed ceramic, stacked ceramic, and lithium disilicate. Make sure to talk to your dentist to find out which type is right for you.
