Porcelain Veneers: Are They Right For You?
- Posted on: Jun 15 2023
We are all dealing with some form of flaws in our teeth, whether that be a coffee-stained tooth or a deep chipped tooth. Dr. Casey Patterson understands the importance of feeling and looking good, which is why he offers porcelain veneers, an easier way to give you the flawless smile you’ve always wanted.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are designed to cover any cosmetic issues you may be experiencing with your teeth. These veneers are thin shells made out of porcelain that is placed over your existing teeth. Porcelain veneers are a great option if you don’t want to go through the complex procedures you might need in an orthodontist’s office.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Fix?
Veneers can cover up a range of cosmetic problems in your teeth, such as chips and cracks, gaps and uneven spacing, stained teeth, alignment problems, and any other problems you may see an orthodontist for.
Who Can Get Porcelain Veneers?
Anyone who has cosmetic issues with their teeth can usually get porcelain veneers. However, if you have any underlying problems with your teeth, Dr. Patterson will have to correct them before you receive your new veneers. It’s important to understand that when you get veneers, our dentist needs to shave down your tooth’s enamel, meaning you will need to keep up with your veneers and keep having them replaced when needed.
Are Porcelain Veneers Permanent?
Porcelain veneers are not a permanent solution to a perfect smile, but they do last a long time. Our veneers usually last anywhere from seven to twenty years, depending on how the teeth beneath them change over time. If you discover that one of your veneers has fallen off, you can come into our office and have it reattached easily.
