Dental Veneers Wallington

Well, Porcelain veneers are an ideal solution to cosmetically enhance a smile while still maintaining healthy tooth structure. You could describe porcelain veneers as a ‘dental facelift’.

They are not only just used to boost the appearance of your teeth, but they are also used to eliminate any gaps between the teeth and address the issues of a ‘gummy’ smile, short or small teeth.

Porcelain Veneers are thin, tooth-coloured porcelain shells that are custom made to bond to the front surface of your teeth. Veneers can best be described as being like false fingernails for your smile.

This is dependent on the bond of the veneer to the underlying tooth below. This is the main factor when getting Porcelain Veneers. Therefore your teeth need to be relatively intact and minimally restored or filled. However, once you have enhanced your smile with veneers, they will always remain as they are a permanent solution, they are very strong and will resist most forces placed upon them by a normal diet.

Porcelain laminate veneers are used to improve the aesthetic appearance of the teeth, to eliminate the gaps between the teeth, or address the problems of a ‘gummy’ smile, short or small teeth. They are often used as an alternative to moving misaligned or rotated teeth without lengthy orthodontic treatments.

Veneers are a permanent solution and the teeth receiving the veneers need to be relatively intact and minimally restored or filled, as the success of this technology relies on the ‘bond’ of the veneer to the underlying enamel of your tooth. Once placed, the veneers are very strong and will resist most of the forces placed upon them by a normal diet.
