What are Porcelain Veneers?
A porcelain veneer is an extremely thin shell of ceramic that is bonded directly to your tooth. It is about the same thickness as a fingernail, at only 0.5 millimeter thick. The thinness of a porcelain veneer is illustrated in the image on the left. In order for the veneer to be undetectable, it may be necessary for your tooth to be shaved down slightly. Dental bonding will be used to adhere it into place. And when it’s all said and done, no one will ever be able to tell because the transition is virtually seamless. In the image to the right, you can see exactly how thin the veneer actually is and how minor the amount of tooth preparation that is required.
The transformation is stunning. The way porcelain mimics the color, texture, and translucency of a tooth is unmatched. Not only will your smile look completely natural, it will be highly stain resistant. When you keep up with regular care of your veneers, you won’t have to worry about staining or discoloration.
