Porcelain Veneers - FAQ

What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers have been likened to "fake" fingernails. These are laminates of porcelain that are custom made to fit over prepared teeth. They are used by an aesthetic dentist or a cosmetic dentist to enhance smiles and function in situations where teeth are worn, chipped, mis-aligned, too small or where shape and color can be improved.

Science behind the Veneer
These thin laminates of porcelain are bonded to the natural tooth giving it renewed vitality, color and shape.

Advantages – life-like
What sets porcelain veneers apart from other dental restorations is their life-like translucent nature that mimics natural tooth enamel. It is truly amazing how art and science and of course, and a set of skilled hands, come together to create dental restorations that are absolutely indiscernible from real teeth, even to a dental professional.

Advantages – stain resistant
Another major advantage of porcelain veneers is that they retain their original color; they do not stain like bonded fillings that stain over time.
