A veneer (also called laminate) is a thin layer of porcelain placed over a tooth, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth or to protect a tooth’s surface. Veneers can restore a tooth that may have been fractured or discoloured or multiple teeth to create a “Hollywood smile” as Smile Make Over. Veneers may also be used to correct mal-positioned spaced-out asymmetry and short teeth. There is an Illusion about veneer; not every case is a good candidate for veneer. Book an appointment with an experienced dentist to assess your cosmetic case precisely and find the best option.
If you are a good candidate, porcelain veneers are beautiful and strong and should last many years with appropriate care. Maintaining porcelain veneers requires standard brushing and flossing to ensure the natural tooth structure behind the veneer does not develop cavities. Aside from regular hygiene, porcelain veneers are maintained by avoiding biting on complex substances like ice or fingernails.
