Porcelain veneers and a beautiful smile.
Would you like a more attractive smile? Are your teeth chipped, cracked, broken or misshaped? Discolored or stained? Are there unsightly spaces between your teeth? If you answered yes to any of the above questions you might be a perfect candidate for porcelain dental veneers. Porcelain veneers are one of the most naturally looking options available to improve your smile.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are made from a very thin layer of porcelain (a glass or ceramic type of material) about the thickness of your finger nail or a contact lens. Because porcelain veneers are so thin very little of your tooth needs to be removed as compared with that of a crown.
Why do porcelain veneers look so beautiful?
Because porcelain veneers are so thin (0.3mm to 0.5 mm) light is transmitted through them easily giving your teeth a very beautiful and natural appearance. You will never see a dark line with porcelain veneers like you can with some types of crowns.
What is the difference between porcelain veneers and Lumineers?
Lumineers is a brand name of porcelain veneers made from patented porcelain called Cerinate.
Lumineers require very little or no tooth reduction. Lumineers are an excellent choice when your teeth are slightly set back or need very minor changes. Lumineers are not right everyone.
If you require more extensive changes (extreme makeovers etc.) traditional veneers might be the better choice.
Each person needs to be evaluated individually to see which type of veneer in best for them. It might even be a combination of both. Highly qualified cosmetic dentist Dr. Siegel is both an artist and a perfectionist and can help you determine which is right for you.
Are there other ways to get a beautiful smile besides porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are great, but there are other and sometimes better ways to achieve a beautiful smile. Dr. Siegel’s mastery of veneers, teeth whitening, implants, and orthodontics (braces) including invisalign gives him a unique perspective to evaluate your personal needs. Not all cosmetics dentists can say that. And for a limited time Dr. Siegel is offering a complete set of x-rays and a full exam for only $1. That’s not a misprint; it really is only one dollar. No strings attached, and no obligations. Click here for more details.
Will porcelain veneers stain or get darker over time?
No. That is one of the great things about porcelain veneers. Because the veneers are made of porcelain or glass they are very resistant to stain.
How do porcelain veneers stay on my teeth?
Porcelain veneers are attached to your teeth using a dental bonding glue or cement. Once the porcelain veneers are bonded to your teeth they become strong.
How long will it take to get porcelain veneers?
You can have your porcelain veneers and a beautiful new smile in just two visits.
