Dental Veneers

Your smile and your teeth are among the first things other people notice about you, and having a bright, healthy-looking smile can be a big part of good self-esteem and self-confidence. However, over time teeth may become discolored or damaged. Some people have teeth that are naturally misshapen or misspaced.

Dental veneers offer one possible solution for many of these problems. Also called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates, dental veneers are a type of dental prosthesis in which a thin layer of ceramic or porcelain is shaped and then applied to the outer surface of a damaged, discolored, or misshapen/misspaced tooth. This is a cosmetic procedure, intended to correct the appearance of the tooth while retaining normal function. They are a permanent procedure, in that the enamel of the tooth must be reshaped to accept the veneer.

Dental veneers offer a number of advantages in correcting some problems. They last a long time–10 years or so on average–and are fairly easy to replace when the need arises. They offer an attractive, easy-to-use solution for many common dental issues. If you’re interested in dental veneers, get in touch today.
