What are Porcelain Veneers?
If you are hesitant to smile because you have chipped, misshaped or stained teeth, you may be interested in learning more about porcelain veneers. This is a cosmetic option that Dr. Birckhead & Dr. Powers perform on your permanent teeth in order to make your smile more attractive and give you a boost in confidence at the same time.
Your Consultation Appointment
When you schedule an appointment at Premier Dental Care, Dr. Birckhead & Dr. Powers will consult with you to see if you are a good candidate to receive porcelain veneers and answer any questions you may have about them. Simply, a veneer is a ceramic facing that very closely resembles the appearance of natural teeth. When compared to other dental procedures, getting porcelain veneers is a relatively simple procedure.
Using Porcelain in Place of Resin
At Premier Dental Care, we believe that a patient’s teeth should always look as natural as possible. That is why we prefer veneers made of porcelain rather than those made of resin. Porcelain is more likely to reflect light the way natural teeth do, and it is unlikely that anyone will know you have had a cosmetic dentistry procedure unless you tell them.
Another major benefit of using porcelain is that it is less apt to show discoloration than resin or other materials. This is due to the fact that porcelain is the least porous of the materials available in cosmetic dentistry, so it is able to be resistant to stain. Because of the high quality of your new veneers, they must be sent to a dental lab to be custom created. Dr. Birckhead & Dr. Powers can give you the smile you have always wanted! Call Today!
