Porcelain Veneers Info

Aging can cause many problems with your teeth. Everything from discoloration to thinning and loosening due to bone deterioration. Obviously, regular brushing and flossing will help with these things, but they certainly won’t undo the damage that has already been done. So where do we go from here?

Porcelain Veneers can help to not only improve the outward appearance of your teeth but also strengthen them a bit. If weaker teeth are causing you pain, discomfort or even a lack of self-esteem, I would suggest you contact a cosmetic dentistry professional today to find out more about this process and what it can do for you!

Most people think of Porcelain Veneers and think of a quick fix for crooked teeth, but you would be amazed at home many aesthetic problems veneers can solve! Today I will be going over some of these problems, common causes of them and how veneers can help!

• Discoloration - Are your teeth stained from too much coffee drinking or a years long chewing tobacco habit? Do you find that you have brown streaks across only a few of your teeth that no amount of tooth brushing or teeth whiteners will fix? Many times we don’t notice tooth stains of this nature until it is too late and permanent damage has been done. Porcelain Veneers can give your smile a bright, natural glow.

• Misaligned/Crooked Teeth - Braces are not the only alternative for crooked or misaligned teeth. Since having straight teeth is not something we can control without the help of braces or some other form of cosmetic dentistry, Veneers are a perfect alternative to get quick results while obtaining that perfect Kodak smile you’ve always dreamed of having!

• Gaps in Smile - It’s a common occurrence for twenty-somethings to look in the mirror and realize that they are all done growing and maturing and that their teeth never closed in together as they hoped. Its a startling and depressing moment to realize that you have reached an age where your body has given you all it is going to in regards to the development of your body. Thankfully, closing gaps in your smile no longer takes 18-24 months of painful braces and follow-up 24-hour retainers. Porcelain Veneers can give you a straight, aligned smile that will match with the rest of your otherwise perfect body!

Not only do Lumineers cost a little less than Porcelain Veneers, but they also offer a less painful alternative to permanently reconstructing your smile. As thin as a contact lens, adding Lumineers does not require any grinding or filing down of your natural teeth, as they can be applied over your existing teeth including crowns and/or bridges.

If you have stained, cracked, or chipped teeth, or if you don’t like the color, shape or line of your smile, Lumineers last for 20+ years and are a cost effective permanent fix that won’t leave you recuperating for days and weeks afterwards! Not only that, but Lumineers can be removed to expose your natural smile, without damaging the integrity of your real teeth!

LUMINEERS are made of Cerinate porcelain, which is stronger and much more durable than other means of cosmetic dentistry. What this means is that Lumineers are more comfortable and stronger than the typical porcelain veneers without breaking your bank!
