Porcelain Veneers

    LAS VEGAS, NV, May 23, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Cosmetic dental problems can cause you a great deal of dissatisfaction with they way you look and the way you feel about yourself. Cosmetic dentistry provides an avenue for improving your smile, in a way that is uniquely tailored to your dental problems and smile wishes.

Porcelain veneers provide a way to achieve smile improvement in a relatively short amount of time. Instead of receiving orthodontic treatment for several months or even a couple years, porcelain veneers can create a straight, symmetrical smile within weeks.

Uses of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers can create a naturally stunning smile. Sometimes called "instant orthodontics," porcelain veneers create the appearance of straight, aligned teeth without the treatment length of orthodontics. If you have severe misalignment or bite issues, you may benefit most from orthodontics. The only way to know if veneers are right for you is to consult an experienced cosmetic dentist.

Veneers are used often to improve the appearance of:

- Chipped teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Small teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Uneven tooth length
- Uneven tooth size
- Stained, yellow teeth

If you have any of these dental problems, you should ask your dentist about whether you are a candidate for porcelain veneers.

How do Porcelain Veneers Work?

Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain shaped like the surface of a tooth. The veneer is placed over your tooth, concealing any imperfections and creating a new tooth surface.
Typically, the porcelain veneer process consists of:

- Scraping away a thin layer of your enamel to create a rough surface for adhesion.
- Taking a mold of your tooth so the porcelain veneer can be fabricated for your unique tooth.
- Affixing the porcelain veneer to the front surface of your tooth using a special dental adhesive material.

You should have a completed porcelain veneer after just a few visits to the cosmetic dentist.

Porcelain veneers generally last a decade or longer. In some cases, people have their porcelain veneers changed to a brighter color after a teeth whitening (porcelain does not respond to bleaching agents, so if you whiten your teeth, the veneers will remain the same color. For this reason, it is a good idea to receive teeth whitening before porcelain veneers, if you are considering teeth whitening).
