Porcelain Veneers By Park Dentistry
Teeth that are badly stained, shaped or crooked may be
improved by a veneer placed on the surface of the affected teeth.
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented
over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers are used
on teeth with
uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced
or crooked. Little or no anesthesia is needed. Veneers have a longer life
expectancy and color stability than bonding, and highly resist permanent
staining from coffee, tea, or even cigarette smoking.
Veneers are usually made by a dental lab technician working
from a model provided by Dr. Milito. Veneers are usually irreversible because
it’s necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to
accommodate the shell.
Porcelain veneers can mask undesirable defects, such as
teeth stained by tetracycline, by an injury, or as a result of a root canal
procedure, and are ideal for masking discolored fillings in front teeth.
Patients with gaps between their front teeth or teeth that are chipped or worn
may consider porcelain veneers.
