Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made moldings that cover the fronts of unsightly
teeth. They can cover unattractive features such as gaps, and they
can mask stained, mis-shapen, or crooked teeth. Veneers can be matched
to make even the darkest teeth appear their whitest.
Since veneers are individually sculpted for each patient, it is almost
impossible to tell the difference between the veneer and the natural
tooth. A minimal amount of the natural tooth must be altered to allow
for the added thickness of the veneer. However patients must realize
that because a small amount of tooth is reduced to fit the veneers,
the process is not reversible.
Veneers can last for many years and will not change color over time.
Good oral hygiene can ensure longer-lasting results. So make sure
to brush and floss regularly to prevent oral hygiene problems and
make sure your veneers stay sparkling.
Bonding
Dental bonding involves a tooth-colored resin material being applied
to the tooth. The material is hardened with a special light, which
ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore
or improve one’s smile. This is a more cost-efficient method
for improving upon the appearance of teeth.
