How Porcelain Veneers Work

    BOSTON, MA, September 27, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If you have ever wondered how porcelain veneers can fill gaps or make your teeth look straight, you've stumbled upon the right page. Porcelain veneers are incredibly thin shells that are placed over the front of your teeth to correct myriad cosmetic imperfections. But if veneers were simply shaped like your natural teeth, they would be incapable of addressing these issues. This is why your cosmetic dentist will have your porcelain veneers custom created to address the specific imperfections of your smile.

Creating a Perfect Smile

When you visit your cosmetic dentist for porcelain veneers, he will carefully assess the structure, placement, size, and position of each of your teeth. With this information he will be able to determine on which teeth porcelain veneers will need to be placed to cover imperfections. By making a mold of your teeth, your dentist can instruct his dental lab partners in which teeth need to be sized or shaped differently to produce a seamless appearance. This is how porcelain veneers can be used to create a perfect smile.

Your veneers will be colored, shaped, and sized to fit precisely into your mouth. This means that some of your veneers may be longer or wider than your natural teeth. Once placed, your veneers will look and feel exactly like your natural tooth enamel, allowing them to cover imperfections while still producing a natural-looking smile.

Porcelain veneers are best for people who do not have significant functional issues impacting their smile. If you are missing teeth or have teeth that are severely damaged or broken, another cosmetic or restorative dentistry procedure may be best for you. In some cases, other procedures are combined with porcelain veneers for a complete smile makeover. Your need for that type of procedure will be determined by your cosmetic dentist.
