In this post from Decatur Smiles in Decatur Al, we are going to take a look at one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures, porcelain veneers.
Have you ever wished you could cover your teeth as easily as you paint a wall in your house? Guess what? With porcelain veneers, it’s possible. Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin tooth-shaped fronts that are permanently attached to your natural teeth.
Unlike a crown procedure, we do not need to remove tooth structure to place the restoration.
At Decatur Smiles, veneers are used alone and in combination with other cosmetic dental procedures in complete smile makeovers. Because they can correct cosmetic tooth misalignment in one visit, veneers are sometimes called instant orthodontics.
Do veneers look like natural teeth?
Skilled dental lab artists create porcelain veneers with the color, reflective properties, and translucency of natural teeth: perfect natural teeth, that is. In addition, porcelain veneers can be constructed in any size or shape.
Are veneers strong?
Porcelain veneers are fabricated out of extremely durable material. If you have questions about whether a veneer or dental crown is the best choice for you, talk to us. We will consider the size and condition of the tooth and its position in the mouth.
How long do veneers last?
Some smile makeover patients have veneers they received over 15 years ago. (And they still look terrific!) If properly cared for, veneers can last as long as dental crowns.
Porcelain veneers can give you a magnificent new smile. They’re just one of our cosmetic dentistry procedures at Decatur Smiles in Decatur AL. Call to schedule an appointment today!
