If this is you then we have good news for you: dental veneers are available and they can fix whatever issues you feel you have with your smile to help you have the smile you have always wanted.

What Is A Veneer?

A dental veneer is a very thin piece of porcelain that has been handcrafted to fit the coloring and spacing of your other teeth. The veneer is placed over your existing tooth and can assist in reshaping a tooth, closing a gap, or covering up a stubborn stain.

Because they are made out of porcelain, veneers are quite durable and with the proper care and dental hygiene practices, should last decades. Once they are installed, they are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth and nobody but you will ever know that you have veneers.

Pros And Cons Of Getting Veneers

There are a number of reasons that veneers are used instead of other dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and dental implants. A veneer can be more realistic in appearance than something like a bridge. At the same time getting a veneer is generally less expensive than getting a full dental implant; further, assuming that your tooth is healthy and structurally sound, there is no reason to completely remove it and replace it with an implant when you can simply get a veneer instead.
