Some of the details of porcelain veneers include:
- By obtaining porcelain veneers in our Waterford practice, you may improve your aesthetics by treating one tooth or by covering all teeth that are visible when you speak, laugh, or smile.
- Porcelain matches the characteristics of natural teeth creating a seamless enhancement. Porcelain is translucent and reflects light, making the treated tooth look just as natural as surrounding teeth.
- To place porcelain veneers, your dentist will reduce the treated tooth or teeth by approximately one-half of a millimeter, making this a permanent, non-reversible cosmetic enhancement.
- The process of obtaining porcelain veneers in our Waterford office is simple, often requiring no anesthetic.
- There will be a lapse in time of a week to ten days between the appointment for tooth preparation and the placement of permanent porcelain veneers. Once teeth have been prepared through the reduction of tooth enamel, a bit of sensitivity to hot and cold may occur but will disappear after permanent veneers have been placed.
- Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and very strong. However, because these shells are quite thin, it is recommended that the patient with porcelain veneers avoid biting and twisting food in the teeth to avoid undue stress on the material.
