Are Porcelain Veneers Right For You?

Porcelain veneers are a durable and attractive way to restore a dental patient’s smile. These porcelain shells can be applied to broken, chipped, or worn down teeth to enhance a patient’s comfort, improve dental health, and boost his or her confidence by providing a more beautiful smile. Testimonials from individuals with veneers suggest that many of them have trouble distinguishing their veneers from their natural teeth when looking in a mirror. To familiarize yourself with the most common applications for porcelain veneers, continue reading this article.

Crooked Teeth

Porcelain veneers do not correct malocclusions. For that, you need dental braces or Invisalign. If you have a tooth that is slightly crooked, however, and its crookedness does not adversely impact your dental structure, then a veneer can be affixed to that tooth to improve its appearance and make it feel naturally whole.

Chipped and Worn Teeth

Porcelain veneers can also be used to correct chipped or worn teeth, an appealing option because it involves less removal of dental enamel than is necessary for a crown to be applied.

Diastema and Other Gaps

Do you have a gap between your front teeth that you wish was not there? Porcelain veneers can be used to treat diastema and fill other gaps or uneven spaces in your mouth.

Discolored Teeth

A purely cosmetic application for porcelain veneers that has become increasingly common is to lighten teeth that are naturally yellowed or otherwise discolored. If professional teeth whitening has not worked for you, porcelain veneers may be your best option.
