Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic material,
which are bonded to the front of teeth. This procedure can be the ideal
choice for improving the appearance of the front teeth. Porcelain veneers
are placed to change color, to brighten teeth, change shape of teeth and
to improve a smile. Highly resistant to permanent staining from coffee,
tea, or cigarette smoking.
:: Treating Severe Discolorations: Porcelain veneers
can mask undesirable defects, such as teeth stained by tetracycline,
by an injury, or as the result of a root-canal procedure, and are ideal
for masking discolored fillings in front teeth.
:: Alternative for Orthodontics: Situations
in which the anterior (front) teeth are mildly misaligned, crooked,
or rotated can be corrected with porcelain veneers. Also if there
is a gap between front teeth it can be closed with veneers. |
