Davidsonville, MD dental practice Wooddell & Passaro Restorative and Esthetic Dentistry can use porcelain dental veneers to improve the aesthetics of your smile. Veneers can alter the color, shape, and spacing of your teeth. A porcelain veneer is a very thin shell that covers the front and sides of a tooth that has cosmetic issues.
Porcelain is very similar-looking to natural tooth enamel so your veneers will seamlessly blend into your smile while also restoring its natural beauty. When veneers are placed by a skilled professional like your WP dentist, they will feel completely natural in your mouth and you won’t even notice them when you eat or talk. Dental veneers are highly stain resistant and can reduce the yellowing of your teeth over time. However, they will still need to be brushed, flossed and regularly examined by a dentist. Although very strong and durable, porcelain veneers can be broken or cracked if too much force is applied.
Dental veneers can also be used to make misaligned teeth appear straighter, allowing for a quicker, simpler and less expensive solution than traditional orthodontic treatment. Porcelain veneers are custom-created for each patient’s mouth and placed over your existing teeth, so your dentist can design your veneers with any cosmetic issues your smile may have in mind.
Although porcelain veneers do require some special care, your dentist will instruct you on how to properly maintain them for the longest-lasting results possible. Although routine dental cleanings and examinations are vital to ensuring the long-term health and stability of your veneers, with conscientious care, they can last you many years.
