Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the surface of the tooth. Veneers can be reshaped and resized to alter the appearance of your smile cosmetically.
We recommend porcelain because it is the strongest and most durable material. In addition to strength, porcelain veneers are an optimal choice because they withstand discoloration from food and beverages better than other materials.
The placement of porcelain veneers requires a reduction of the natural tooth by 0.3 to 0.5 mm. Due to this modification and the bonding material used to place the veneer on the tooth surface, the placement of porcelain veneers is a permanent procedure. What is possible is to change the veneers if desired for others with other esthetic characteristics.
Occasionally, your porcelain veneer may wear out or require replacement, but this is not common. In order for some teeth to function properly, you may need to replace a veneer or adjust it for comfort. The time frame for replacement varies from patient to patient.
A cosmetic procedure is one that is performed solely to improve the appearance of your smile. On the other hand, a corrective procedure is one that is performed to repair tooth damage, discoloration, cracks, spacing, uneven alignment, worn tooth enamel, and chips. It is therefore considered a corrective and cosmetic procedure because it can address dental problems such as uneven alignment while also improving your smile.
