At our Troy Cosmetic Dentist office, we offer a number of cosmetic solutions that not only resolve aesthetic flaws in your smile, but also improve your overall oral health. Improvements in dental materials have made cosmetic dental treatments like porcelain veneers available that did not exist just a few years ago.
You may think that porcelain is a fragile material, but dental porcelain is actually very durable, making it the perfect choice for applications like veneers. Another important attribute of porcelain is that it closely resembles the translucent appearance of dental enamel. Porcelain veneers are an effective solution for a variety of cosmetic problems and can transform your smile in only a few appointments.
Why Should I Choose Porcelain Veneers?
Before making a decision about which cosmetic dental treatment will be most appropriate for you, it is important to weigh all of your potential options. There are so many cosmetic dental options available today, and you may be overwhelmed by the number of choices available.
The primary benefit of porcelain veneers is that they closely resemble your natural dental enamel and can easily be custom-crafted to blend perfectly with your natural teeth. The team at our Troy Cosmetic Dentist office explain all your options and work with you to find the solution that best fits your lifestyle, timeline, and budget.
Are Porcelain Veneers Strong?
Porcelain reflects and absorbs light similarly to natural enamel and is used for a number of cosmetic solutions. It can be shaped and shaded by our dentist to fit your natural tooth coloring. Porcelain veneers are also resistant to staining because of their smooth finish. That same quality keeps them from looking dull or flat, retaining their bright appearance for years.
Porcelain veneers don’t put unnecessary strain on neighboring teeth and patients can chew normally and follow their normal routine of oral hygiene. Porcelain is an ideal material for dental restorations and is popular with dentists and patients alike. Veneers made of porcelain are very durable, and with proper care and oral hygiene will keep your smile bright and beautiful for many years to come.
Some of the cosmetic dental flaws that can be resolved with porcelain veneers are:
- Cracked/chipped dental enamel
- Misaligned teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Dark or stained enamel
- Pitted/grooved teeth
Porcelain veneers are a great cosmetic dental solution, but they are not appropriate for everyone. Please contact our office, and we will be happy to arrange a consultation to discuss your options.
