Porcelain veneers have quickly become one of the most common and popular options for fixing chipped, uneven, or discolored teeth. The application of porcelain veneers by your cosmetic dentist is a fairly simple procedure, requiring very little, if any, anesthesia. It is the most conservative and ideal option for many who want the perfect smile. Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that fit over damaged, discolored, or misshapen teeth. Porcelain is an extremely durable material with a color, translucence and texture very similar to tooth enamel. It is not susceptible to decay and resists staining while maintaining a natural appearance. Similar to porcelain crowns, veneers can last for years if they are properly applied and cared for.
