The Benefits Of Porcelain Veneers

By Adrianna Noton

Veneers are laminates are a type of cosmetic procedure that dentists use to cover up unsightly teeth. There are two types of veneers but most often porcelain veneers are the preferred type. Laminates are used to improve the look of teeth that are stained, uneven, worn, or have chips. The newest types allow the consumer to experience beautiful, natural teeth while maintaining their original teeth.

Veneers are custom designed, thin slips made out of porcelain material. The slips are placed and bonded to the front of the tooth, creating a false enamel. The porcelain is meant to be tooth-like in appearance and texture. The caps are designed to fit each individuals needs and then placed over the existing tooth.

Dental veneers tend to last an extremely long time. However, the veneer is made out of thin material that easily bond with little or no change required for the tooth underneath. They can often be used instead of crowns to protect a damaged tooth.

Some people falsely believe that if they have unattractive teeth they will be better off pulling them out and replacing them with a partial or plate. This is not the best option when problems are simply cosmetic. For several rotten or severely damaged teeth, then a plate may be the preferred method. However, for simply unsightly teeth, veneers are almost always a better option.

One of the biggest benefits to porcelain laminates is that they provide an extremely life-like appearance. This is a great advantage over some other types of tooth restoration methods from the past, such as crowns or plates. Veneers are only attached on the front of the tooth and because of how they absorb light these laminates behave very similarly to real tooth enamel. This is because tooth enamel doesn't just reflect light. The light is absorbed into the enamel and then reflected out. Porcelain behaves very similarly.

Another big benefit of the porcelain veneers is the fact that it resists staining. Though these covers are almost indistinguishable from real enamel they do not stain like enamel. This means that you can drink coffee without worrying so much about the damage to your teeth. Porcelains is extremely stain resistant and much less likely to attract a stain than real tooth enamel.

There are of course some downsides to the veneer. To achieve a truly life-like appearance you will most likely need to get all of your front teeth done at once. This will avoid any inconsistency. Also, porcelain veneers can be relatively expensive when compared to other types of dental cosmetic surgery. Occasionally getting porcelain veneers will require you to sleep with a dental guard in order to protect the veneers from damage, this is especially true of those who grind their teeth. Also sometimes dentist will suggest that you avoid foods like raw carrots for the longevity of your dental work.

Generally the veneer is an excellent method for improving the look of your existing teeth. The methods of tooth bonding and reconstruction have greatly improved in recent years. For those who seek veneers to cover up slight imperfections you will find yourself very satisfied. The level of work involved with this type of cosmetic surgery is far less than with that of false tooth placement, since they do not have to be removed nightly. The cost of laminate placement is rather expensive and all the pros and cons should be weighed thoroughly before a decision is made.
