[Porcelain Veneers]
Porcelain veneers are a rapid, esthetic, and safe way to correct unattractive front teeth. Porcelain veneers correct heavy permanent stains, teeth that are crooked, disproportionate, small (with spaces), and structurally damaged. Porcelain veneers are shells of ceramic material that can be chemically bonded to tooth structure. Porcelain veneers are a common technique for extreme makeovers.
Bonded to tooth structure, certain porcelain veneers display similar physical properties as natural enamel. In addition, with the advance of ceramic technology, natural layers and translucencies of vital teeth can be perfectly mimicked. The correction of unattractive front teeth with porcelain veneers involves two office visits.The first visit entails the preparation of the teeth, taking impressions of the prepared teeth, and the placement of temporary acrylic veneers. The processing time at the dental laboratory is usually three weeks or less. The final porcelain veneers are permanently bonded at the second office visit.
