How Do Porcelain Veneers Work?
Dental veneers improve the appearance of your smile by covering up the front side of your teeth, focusing specifically on the six teeth that show -- or the “social six.” Veneers can solve any number of cosmetic imperfections that affect otherwise healthy smiles. Some of the most common uses for dental veneers include:
- Hiding stains or discoloration on teeth
- Making front teeth appear uniform/even
- Filling in slight gaps
- Evening out slightly misaligned teeth
- Covering up irregular surfaces
Veneers are made of porcelain, a sturdy material that looks just like natural teeth. It is highly customizable, allowing your cosmetic dentist to plan for veneers that match your unique coloring and facial structure the best.
