Porcelain veneers and your smile
 

Porcelain veneers are often used for the same reasons as bonding (to eliminate stains, close gaps and correct crooked or malformed teeth). They are considerably more durable and stain resistant than bonding.

The veneer is actually a thin piece of porcelain similar in size to a fingernail. Once it is bonded onto the tooth it becomes extremely strong. It also blends in with the remaining tooth structure so that it is unnoticeable to the naked-eye. The completed veneer looks, feels, and functions just like a regular tooth.

Porcelain veneers can be utilized to change the shape and color of a single tooth or if necessary, create an entire smile. Veneers can be used to instantly straighten your teeth without the need for orthodontics. They may also be used to restore teeth that have been worn from clenching and grinding.
