 Porcelain veneers, also referred to as dental porcelain laminates or dental veneers, are extremely thin layers of porcelain - a glass-like ceramic substance - that can be bonded onto the surface of teeth. Porcelain veneers greatly enhance the appearance of teeth and give you that radiant smile you've always dreamed of having. It works like magic - completely eliminating the reasons why you've been hiding your smile for so long!
Many people have some complaint about how their teeth look. Most patients complain about dark, stained or discolored teeth. Others have more severe problems like pitted, poorly shaped, eroded or misaligned teeth which are hidden behind unconsciously tightened lips. They freeze instead of saying "cheese" when a photograph is taken, are very self-conscious and lack confidence. Sound familiar? Well you can stop worrying now!
We care about your smile. We will listen to your complaints and show you how porcelain veneers can help you. These thin shells, thinner than a fingernail, can be attached to the surface of teeth using dental bonding glue or cement. Upon bonding, the strength of the porcelain is reinforced, rendering the veneer extremely durable. In addition to this, porcelain veneers give your teeth the most natural luster and require the least dental work. How? Here's the magic. Porcelain veneers are translucent- this means that when light strikes, it passes through to the harder dentin that lies beneath, mimicking the way it does naturally off your enamel- giving you that brilliant "real" smile with no hidden trace of artificial cosmetic improvement. Dental crowns and other material used for this purpose by dentists in the past are only semi- translucent and can look "fake," with dark lines and a "plastic" appearance. Also, placing a crown requires grinding through the surface of teeth. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, involve minimal invasion and the procedure can be accomplished in a minimum of two visits to our clinic.
Here's more good news! Porcelain veneers are stain resistant! Even those of us blessed with natural, glistening smiles are victims to teeth staining agents - like coffee, red wine, tobacco products and certain medications. Sometimes, even pregnancy or the natural wear and tear of teeth can endanger your smile. Because porcelain is so much like glass, it is extremely stain resistant and will not get darker over time.
Afraid it will cost too much? We promise that you will leave our clinic not with lighter pockets, but lighter hearts! This procedure is both affordable and time-efficient, limiting the number of appointments to a bare minimum. Don't forget to take advantage of our special offers, when you come visit us. For the incredible price of $1 we offer a complete dental exam , a full set of x-rays and our expert advice to jump start the process that is going to give you that perfect set of pearly whites. Why? Because as dentists, it is our duty to protect your best asset, and it is our mission to make you smile.
