Porcelain Veneer Basics

There are many reasons for people who are unhappy with their smile to turn to cosmetic dentistry for a solution. Some people have discolored teeth from years of smoking, while others have chips or cracks. In some cases, it’s simply a matter of people having misaligned teeth that gives them a “crooked” smile. Not having great teeth can make anyone feel unhappy with their looks and self-conscious about their appearance.

One of the most popular options for fixing these types of dental issues is porcelain veneers. These are very thin layers of porcelain that are bonded to the front side of a person’s row of teeth. Porcelain veneers can smooth over cracks, misalignments and other flaws in a person’s gum line along with making even the most heavily-stained teeth look white again. Veneers are easy to apply and affordable, making them a great choice for people who want to have a better smile.
