Veneers are a relatively recent innovation in dentistry, at least in terms of them being available to most patients. They are basically thin strips of material which are secured onto the front of teeth so that their appearance is improved. This can really help your self confidence if it is a bit low thanks to a chipped or cracked tooth that is embarrassing you. Veneers can even be used to cover severely stained or discoloured teeth as well.
One of the most successful and popular innovations in veneer technology over recent years is the use of porcelain in making them. This highly adaptable substance retains every ounce of its strength even when used in extremely small quantities. This makes it ideal for veneers as dentists want to use the absolute minimum amount of material for the veneer so that, if possible, nothing of the existing tooth has to be removed.
Like glass, porcelain does not become stained, so won’t need to worry about the thing that’s covering up your unsightly tooth becoming unsightly itself. The fact that they are so strong means that you can treat them just like normal teeth and you will soon forget that you even have veneers apart from noticing how terrific your smile looks.
Porcelain dental veneers can now be fitted with some speed, thanks to the technology that is becoming commonplace in British dental surgeries. Often it will just take one short visit to the dentist to have a stunning porcelain veneer or veneers secured and you will come out looking fantastic. Make an appointment to see your South East London dentist if you have any more questions about porcelain veneers.
