What are Porcelain Veneers, and why are they a popular aesthetic treatment?Â
Aztec, New Mexico area patients with imperfections on the teeth near the front of the smile may be curious about how to resolve them. Chipped, cracked, or permanently stained or gapped teeth often negatively affect the smile’s appearance. You can disguise these areas by using restorations such as natural-looking porcelain veneers to improve your overall smile appearance.
Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.
What are porcelain veneers?
The team at Aztec Family Dental describes the porcelain veneer as a thin “facing” or dental laminate that is used for cosmetic dental treatment. Natural-looking veneers are customized to the patient’s unique smile to blend in beautifully, covering certain imperfections that can impact the teeth near the front of the smile, known as the “anterior teeth.”
