Porcelain Veneers at My Dentist USA

Porcelain veneers, or "dental veneers," can change the appearance of teeth that are chipped, worn, stained, crooked, or generally damaged. A porcelain veneer acts as a thin shell, covering the surface of a tooth. Porcelain veneers are bonded directly to the front of teeth with adhesive cement for an immediate improvement in the shape and color of each tooth.

The color of porcelain veneers can be matched to the color of a patient's teeth. And because dental veneers are made of porcelain, a glassy composition, they are resistant to staining. Porcelain veneers reflect light in a similar way as tooth enamel, and can be buffed and shaped to look just like natural teeth.

The entire porcelain veneer cosmetic dentistry procedure normally takes only three visits to our Memphis office. In the first visit the patient will discuss the procedure with the cosmetic dentist. During this initial consultation the dental patient will have the opportunity to discuss how the final smile should look. Please feel free to bring pictures of ideal smiles to your initial consultation! During the second appointment the teeth will be prepared for the porcelain veneers and a mold will be made of the teeth. In the final appointment porcelain veneers, designed specifically for the patient, will be placed on the teeth.

Porcelain veneers have become popular in the time that they have been available because they are natural looking, durable, and long-lasting.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a very thin porcelain material that is applied to your tooth. This procedure requires at least two (probably three) visits to the dentist and also a dental laboratory to construct your veneers. Some of your tooth is shaved off, so the veneers can fit properly.

What are the Cons of Porcelain Veneers

There are many benefits to having porcelain veneers, but there are also some drawbacks as well. Porcelain veneers have the following disadvantages:
  • More expensive than regular composite veneers
  • Typically very little tooth is removed, but in some extreme cases, more tooth has to be removed and it can cause tooth trauma
It's always best to do your research and consult with a dentist to see which veneers would be best for you.
