Porcelain dental veneers are a popular aesthetic dentistry solution designed to transform your smile by addressing various imperfections. These thin, custom-made shells are crafted from high-quality porcelain and are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to provide a more uniform, aesthetically pleasing appearance. If you have ever felt self-conscious about chipped, stained or misaligned teeth, porcelain veneers may be an ideal option for you.
One of the greatest benefits of porcelain veneers is their ability to mimic the natural look of tooth enamel. Porcelain reflects light similarly to your natural teeth, giving your smile a lifelike and natural appearance. Additionally, porcelain is resistant to staining, meaning that your veneers will help maintain a bright and beautiful smile over time, even when you regularly consume coffee, tea, wine or other foods and drinks that stain.
Our dentist may recommend porcelain veneers to address a variety of aesthetic concerns. For example, if you have gaps between your teeth, veneers can close those spaces, creating a more harmonious look. If your teeth are discolored beyond what whitening treatments can fix, veneers can give you a brighter, more uniform smile. Veneers are also an excellent choice if your teeth are chipped, cracked or worn down, as they provide both aesthetic and functional improvement.
The process of receiving porcelain veneers is typically completed in two appointments. During your first visit, Dr. Tommy Mainieri will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a perfect fit for the veneers. Impressions of your teeth will then be taken and sent to a lab, where your custom veneers will be created. Once ready, the veneers will be carefully bonded to your teeth during your second appointment.
