Porcelain veneers now make it possible to instantly improve the look of your teeth without using braces or crowns. What are porcelain veneers ? Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front side of teeth to cosmetically improve a tooth. Here at Mona Lisa Smiles we use porcelain veneers to whiten teeth, close spaces (diastemas) and create a great smile.
Porcelain veneers offer several advantages over other types of cosmetic dental bonding procedures:
- Porcelain veneers resist staining – Porcelain is a glass-like ceramic and resists the stains attributed to tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco products.
- Porcelain veneers create a very life-like tooth appearance – Older front caps typically reveal a dark line between where the cap ends and the actual tooth. Porcelain veneers are translucent and therefore more natural and aesthetic.
The process of bonding porcelain veneers is fairly straightforward. The first step is for our dentists to sit down with you and discuss what your objectives are and then explain what can and cannot be achieved using porcelain veneers. After the veneers have been bonded into place, a follow up visit is required within a week. The results are instant and spectacular and we can usually give you that smile you have always wanted.
