Cosmetic dentistry features a wide variety of solutions to meet all of your dental needs. Veneers, also known as porcelain veneers or composite veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored, translucent porcelain or composite resin, custom made to fit over teeth and improve their color, shape and overall appearance. Placement of dental veneers can dramatically improve your smile and appearance. Porcelain veneers can last for many years, usually 10-15 years, if you take good care of them using good oral hygiene and avoid using them to crack or chew hard objects like ice. Porcelain veneers create a very life-like and natural tooth appearance. Unlike other cosmetic dental bonding materials, porcelain is a smooth, impervious ceramic and therefore will not pick up permanent stain from cigarette smoking or from dark or richly colored liquids or spices.
Porcelain veneers are conservative. Only a small amount of tooth structure is removed, if any during the procedure. If you have any questions about dental health care or need to schedule an appointment, please give My Family Dental a call and we will be more than happy to schedule a consultation and answer any questions or concerns regarding your oral health! 480-649-4000.
