Porcelain Veneers - Transform Your Smile!

Cosmetic dentistry is as much an art as it is a science, but don’t be baffled by advertising that makes dental work seem like wizardry. An “extreme smile makeover” is, in reality, a carefully tailored, comprehensive treatment plan designed to meet the unique needs and goals of individual clients. While most smile makeover plans combine several treatments, most involve the use of porcelain veneers, arguably the most transformative treatment in cosmetic dentistry.

When you see a flawlessly beautiful smile – that “Hollywood smile” so commonly advertised – there’s a good chance that you are seeing a smile that has been made over with porcelain veneers. That’s because porcelain veneers not only conceal aesthetic flaws such as discoloration and chips, but they also reinvent the smile, tooth by tooth. Each porcelain veneers is custom crafted to the ideal shape, size, color, and texture. A single porcelain veneer will be made to exact specifications so that it complements the surrounding natural teeth. A set of porcelain veneers will be made to complement each other and surrounding natural teeth to create the perfect smile.

“Perfect” is this case, however, is also remarkably natural looking. Unlike the materials used in some dental procedures, porcelain mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. It is translucent; that is, it allows light to pass through rather than reflecting light off of its surface, just like tooth enamel. Porcelain veneers can also serve as a type of “instant orthodontics,” improving the bite and reinforcing the teeth.
