At the
end of this treatment you will have polished, natural appearing teeth. Veneers
effectively mask stains and can change the shapes of your teeth, if required.
Porcelain
as a replacement for unaesthetic tooth surfaces has no peer. It is better than
alternatives in color, bond strength, periodontal health maintenance, resistance
to abrasion, inherent strength, and resistance to fluid absorption. Porcelain
absorbs fluids to a lesser degree than any other veneering material which helps
further its life.
The
aesthetics of porcelain are considerably better than any other veneering
material because of our ability to control color and surface texture. The color
of the veneer can be modified both internally and externally during fabrication
and has a natural fluorescence lending it a certain vitality.
Texture
is readily developed on the veneer surface to simulate that of the adjacent
teeth and can be maintained indefinitely.
Usually
two office visits are necessary. Teeth will be prepared and impressions made on
the first visit, which can take from up to three hours. Veneers will be tried in
and examined for fit and inserted on the second visit, which also will take a
minimum of two to three hours, and sometimes longer.
