While this may all sound exciting, you will probably be hard pressed to move forward with treatment until you become familiar with the details. Allow us to assist you during this step of your cosmetic research, so narrowing down treatment choices becomes much easier.
Porcelain Veneers – What Are They?
Veneers are very thin shells composed of ceramic. They will be created out multiple, very thin layers of porcelain. The shell, unlike a crown, will only rest over the part of your teeth that others will see when you speak or smile – veneers do not provide full coverage. The porcelain is quite sturdy and offers a lifelike quality as a result of its translucent finish (which is extremely similar to natural tooth tissue). Once bonded to your teeth, they will provide your smile a full cosmetic transformation by creating a façade over your existing smile.
