Cosmetic Dentistry » Porcelain Veneers

• Dentistry is no longer just a case of filling and extracting teeth, as it was for many years. Nowadays, many people turn to dentistry as a way of improving their appearance, much as they would use cosmetic surgery or even a new hairstyle. Cosmetic treatments include veneers, crowns, bridges, tooth coloured fillings and tooth whitening.
  
  Veneers are thin slices of porcelain which are precisely made to fit over the visible surface of front teeth, very much like a false fingernail.
  
  They are an ideal way of treating discoloured or unsightly teeth, closing gaps between front teeth, or repairing chips and cracks.
• If your front teeth are stained, chipped, or malaligned, veneers will give you a good life-like appearance with minimum tooth adjustment.
  
  A veneer is a porcelain facing on the front of your teeth usually your top teeth, it is just like a false finger nail.
  
  Veneers are made out of porcelain and are used mainly for aesthetic reasons.
  
  Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and because they are very thin and are held in place by a special strong bond (rather like super-glue) very little preparation of the tooth is needed.
• Porcelain veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of teeth.

  A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured or stained tooth or to lighten front teeth (usually the upper ones) generally.

• Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) are not suitable.

  If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.
