If you one of the many people who are unhappy with their smile, then keep reading! If you have teeth that are stained, gapped, spaced oddly, or even just crooked, you might have wondered what you could do to have a smile you loved to show the world. You might be pleasantly surprised to learn that porcelain veneers can make a big difference with your smile. If you are wondering about porcelain veneers and whether they might be right for you, read on—and then contact your cosmetic dentist in Royal Oak to find out more.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

There is nothing complicated about porcelain veneers. They are simply ultra-thin pieces of porcelain that recreate the look of your teeth—but perfectly spaced, perfectly shaped, and perfectly white. Depending on your needs, they can change the shape, size, and color of your teeth in a very short amount of time. Veneers are permanently bonded directly to your teeth to immediately give you a perfect smile.

When you go in for a consultation, communicate with your dentist exactly what your goals are for your smile and discuss specifically what cosmetic improvements you hope to make.

How Do Porcelain Veneers Work?

In order to apply porcelain veneers, a small amount of your existing tooth enamel must be removed. This tiny amount—usually less than a millimeter—is necessary to make room for the veneers while ensuring there is still a natural appearance. The end result is a completely natural look that is even better than your original teeth. Your teeth will still function as normal.

Porcelain veneers work wonders with patients who have poor teeth spacing or shape, fractured or gapped teeth, or where the tooth position compromises a proper bite. Sometimes a person’s teeth are so stained, whitening or bleaching is not very effective, and veneers can be a great option instead.

Veneers can provide you with a highly natural look—most people find it nearly impossible to tell the difference between a veneer and a natural tooth—that is resistant to stains. They also serve to strengthen the existing tooth structure. Ultimately, porcelain veneers will give you the white, bright, straight simple you wish you had been born with!
