Porcelain Veneers

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Houston Dentist Before Houston Dentist After Porcelain veneers are custom manufactured thin porcelain shells for your teeth. They are directly applied over your own natural teeth to create an instant solution to many smile problems.

When should Porcelain Veneers be used?

Porcelain Veneers are an excellent option for teeth that are too badly stained to be helped by teeth bleaching, teeth that have a sizable gap, or misaligned and uneven teeth whose appearance will not be improved by braces. Porcelain veneers make it possible to alter the size, shape and color of your teeth, changes which are beyond the ability of dental braces alone to make.

What are the advantages of Porcelain Veneers

There are many advantages to using porcelain veneers.

Veneers are made from porcelain, a ceramic product. Because it has light refracting qualities like glass, it adds depth and a translucent quality to your teeth that perfectly replicates your own teeth.
Porcelain veneers are also very strong and durable. You need your teeth to bite and chew. Your veneers need to be strong enough to withstand the pressure these activities cause your teeth without either cracking or chipping.
Because you can custom design your veneers, you can completely change the look of your current smile to the one you are envisioning and still have it look totally natural
Finally, one of the best advantages of porcelain veneers is that they make changes instantly. You don't need to wear braces for 12 to 24 months, or make many dental visits to bring about the changes you want. Within a matter of weeks, your smile can be transformed.
