What Is A Porcelain Veneer?
A Porcelain Veneer (also know as a dental veneer, tooth veneer, dental porcelain veneer) is a thin laminate of porcelain custom made to bond to the front surface of a tooth. Porcelain veneers can be used to hide unsightly teeth, whether they are dark, crooked, or ‘gappy’ teeth.
Porcelain veneers are one of the best cosmetic dentistry treatments to cosmetically enhance unsightly teeth. Porcelain veneers can change tooth colour, size, shape and contour, to give ‘perfect’ teeth.

Advantages of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a great, painless way to enhance your smile. They will also improve the health of bad teeth and also function and ability to eat. They look natural and are resistant to staining and do not discolour.

Disadvantages of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are irreversible. They may chip or break like a normal tooth. Teeth may become non-vital after preparation.

Advances in Cosmetic Dentistry, Materials of Porcelain Veneers
Many people are mistaken that porcelain veneers look false and may ‘stick out’. This is not the case. If you go to a good cosmetic dentist they will use a good dental laboratory that will use the latest porcelain materials to produce the best and latest porcelain veneers which look like teeth.

Porcelain Veneers, Success Rates
If done correctly and you look after your porcelain veneers they can last from 5-20 years.

How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Take?
Usually porcelain veneers can be done in just two visits. Hence porcelain veneers have been given the name ‘instant orthodontics’.

Alternatives to Porcelain Veneers
If you do not want porcelain veneers alternatives include orthodontics (clear braces) and or teeth whitening. Porcelain crowns are sometimes done instead of porcelain veneers if teeth are severely broken down.
