Porcelain veneers, which are thin shells of porcelain that your dentist bonds to the front surfaces of your teeth, are not designed to address any one specific issue. On the contrary, veneers are designed to completely transform the appearance of a tooth’s front surface. This means they can address a wide range of concerns with your teeth and smile, including:
Besides their versatility, the other important thing about porcelain veneers is that they’re minimally invasive when placed on your teeth. Every veneer is super thin, usually less than 0.5 mm, yet is still highly durable and lifelike in appearance. Because of this, your dentist can place one or more veneers with minimal preparation to your teeth, which allows you to preserve more of your healthy, natural tooth structure for life.
Many of the cosmetic blemishes that can affect your teeth may also have some impact on their health and integrity, as well. For example, a chipped tooth may seem minor, but that small piece that was chipped off can lessen the tooth’s structural integrity. It might also change your bite’s balance and expose the tooth to more pressure than it’s meant to sustain, causing further damage to its structure. Improving such issues with porcelain veneers not only improves the tooth’s appearance, but also its health and integrity.
With an appropriate number of porcelain veneers, you can improve your smile in a more convenient and lifelike manner than you might have expected. To learn more, schedule an appointment with Dr. Smith and our team by calling Pecan Tree Dental in Grand Prairie, TX, today at (972) 262-5111.
