06 Apr Do Veneers Stain Just the Same as Natural Teeth?
Providing a total smile makeover, porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dental service used to conceal nearly any type of aesthetic imperfection such as chipped, gapped, and stained teeth. Placed by our cosmetic dentist, veneers are permanent enhancement to a patient’s smile that produces a flawless yet natural looking appearance.
These cosmetic enhancements are made from handcrafted, wafer thin pieces of high-quality porcelain. Custom made in dental laboratories, porcelain veneers are designed to fit over the front side of teeth to produce a uniformly perfect appearance. Placing porcelain veneers requires two visits to our dental practice. During the first visit, our cosmetic dentist will take molds of your teeth. These molds will be used to determine the proper size and shape of each veneer so that patients enjoy a natural looking enhancement to their smiles. After the veneers have been made by laboratory technicians, patients will return to our office for the placement process where our team will prepare the teeth for the bonding process. Veneers are cemented over the teeth to ensure stability and longevity.
Although teeth are susceptible to staining, veneers are not because porcelain is a very stain-resistant material. In addition to the benefits of porcelain producing a white smile, each veneer is polished with a special glaze that protects veneers from damage and mimics the natural luster of teeth.
