Veneers are very thin and are bonded on the front
of your anterior teeth. Dentists use some of the same techniques to bond plastic
resins for minor smile corrections. These veneers are about 0.3mm to 0.5mm in
thickness but are very strong once bonded to your teeth. They have a "real life" appearance with
the strength, beauty, and durability that only porcelain restorations extrude.
Porcelain Veneers have several advantages over crowns (caps). There are
no dark lines that are sometimes seen with older front caps. They
reflect light better and, therefore have a more translucent
appearance giving them a natural esthetic look. Veneers don't require
the massive grinding of tooth structure that caps do, yet, they
accomplish a lifelike, and aesthetic result. |
