It’s amazing how much of a difference Porcelain Veneers an make to your teeth, and indeed to your life. It’s not just the person’s appearance that is affected. Very often those who opt to have Porcelain Veneers see a complete change in their lives, as many see a white smile as being a good indicator of a number of positive personal attributes, such as cleanliness, trustworthiness and intelligence.
So what are Porcelain Veneers? These are, essentially, a covering for teeth, There are two main types of veneer, namely composite and Porcelain Veneers. Let’s deal with the composite first. These are less durable, and more prone to staining, but are usually the cheaper option. Porcelain Veneers are much more hardwearing, and offer a unique translucence to them which is more in keeping with the natural look of teeth.
Very often, dentists will make the analogy that Porcelain Veneers are like false nails for your teeth. This isn’t exactly true, as many of those who opt for Porcelain Veneers are doing it because they dislike the natural colour and general condition of their teeth. What is most important to note about Porcelain Veneers is that regardless of the state of the tooth, even if you have had other treatments which have not worked, veneers WILL make your teeth sparkle.
There are a number of reasons you may wish to go for Porcelain Veneers. Badly stained teeth is probably the most common. If they cannot be improved by whitening or prophyflex treatments, your next option is Porcelain Veneers. This covers and effective replaces your entire smile (in most cases). Very often teeth damaged by excessive wear or grinding can be improved greatly with Porcelain Veneers. The great thing about them is that the nature of the procedure means that as long as a tooth is there, it can be covered. An unfortunate accident which leaves an otherwise healthy mouth with one obvious broken tooth is where veneers really come into their own. One single tooth can be matched with the other teeth in your mouth and made, effectively as good as new.
Gaps in your teeth can also be dealt with by Porcelain Veneers, this offers a uniform smile and while it may be difficult for your dentist to perfect, the results are almost always a real boost those having the treatment. Similarly, ‘crooked’ teeth can be straightened out with veneers, but this is something that very often has an underlying problem. Do not go in for veneer treatment until you are certain that the rest of your mouth is healthy and growing naturally. This might include concerns about wisdom teeth and the resultant impacting. It’s well worth remembering that although Porcelain Veneers are expensive, the benefits for the person having the treatment is often life changing.
