Porcelain veneers are a great way to improve the appearance of your teeth. They are usually used as cosmetic dentistry treatments, but dentists can also use them for dental reconstruction. Essenmacher Family Dental in Albuquerque, NM, provides porcelain veneers to our patients.What are porcelain veneers?
A thin, flat piece of porcelain bonded to the front surface of your teeth is called a porcelain veneer. Porcelain veneers are bonded over your chipped or broken tooth to hide dental imperfections in your smile. Dental veneers can also be used as a method of dental reconstruction. It is one of several cosmetic treatments that could give you a new, beautiful smile. It has the advantage of being more permanent and durable than dental bonding. It also doesn’t require as much grinding of your tooth enamel as needed to place dental crowns.Some common uses of dental veneer treatment include:
- Masking dark stains that teeth whitening treatments can’t remove
- Natural teeth that appear to be too small can be resized to match surrounding teeth
- Improving the appearance of a tooth that has a minor misalignment
- Improving cosmetics by repairing cracked or chipped teeth
- Closing unsightly gaps between teeth
- Restoring worn-down teeth to their original condition
