So You Want To Get Veneers? Here’s What You Need To Know

Many want to improve their smiles since it’s one of the first things people notice about them. Whitening your teeth, braces, and veneers are all ways to do this. Veneers have become incredibly popular because the results are immediate and they can correct so many more imperfections than braces or whitening.

Here are a few things to know about porcelain veneers.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. One way to think of porcelain veneers is like a fake fingernail.  However, they are permanently bonded to the supporting natural teeth and are meant to last for many, man years.  With porcelain veneers we can correct teeth that are permanently dark and won’t respond to bleaching.  Teeth that are crooked or have gaps and spaces.  Teeth that are too small or too large to be aesthetically ideal.  Almost any smile imperfection can be corrected and a stunning smile created using porcelain veneers.

Are Porcelain Veneers Safe?

Yes, veneers are safe and have been used in cosmetic dentistry for over 50 years. Your dentist will ensure your veneers fit well so that they do not irritate your gums or cause other problems with your teeth.

What Are The Benefits & Risks Of Porcelain Veneers?

If you are considering porcelain veneers, it is crucial to understand the potential benefits of this treatment. Here are some of the main advantages of porcelain veneers:
