Smile issues? Porcelain veneers could be the treatment that you need to improve your look. These wafer-thin, custom-made shells are placed over the front part of your teeth to beautify your smile and hide aesthetic flaws. Here at Harmony in Dentistry in San Diego, CA, Dr. Edmund Jay offers a complete range of dental services, including veneers, to improve patients' smiles. Read on to find out how porcelain veneers can transform your smile.
#1. They can whiten your smile. Many people are embarrassed by their discolored teeth. Certain medications, smoking, and pigments from dark beverages can cause stains on your teeth. Fortunately, porcelain veneers can give you a bright-white smile instantly! Furthermore, unlike the enamel on your teeth, porcelain veneers resist dental staining very well.
#2. They can close tooth gaps. If you have a gap between your teeth, it can make you feel self-conscious, making you less likely to smile as often as you should. Veneers can be used to close the gap between your teeth. These ceramic shells fit over your teeth to create a picture-perfect smile.
#3. They can restore fractured teeth. Dental veneers are often used to repair teeth that are chipped, cracked, or damaged. If you have fractured teeth, veneers can cover them and restore their function and appearance. The porcelain veneer covers the front of the tooth with a thick section to replace the fractured part of the tooth.
#4. They can fix your crooked smile. Have a slightly crooked smile? You may not need orthodontic treatment to straighten it. In some cases, porcelain veneers can give you the straight smile you want by masking slight alignment issues.
#5. They can strengthen your teeth. Porcelain veneers are known for their durability and strength. They provide strength comparable to tooth enamel. Porcelain veneers can protect and strengthen your worn-down or weak teeth. This is possible due to the durable ceramic material that composes the veneers as they cover your natural teeth. Consult with your dentist in San Diego to find out if veneers are right for you.
