Most of us were not fortunate enough to grow in straight, white, perfect teeth. There are many options for perfecting our smiles, if they cause us embarrassment. In this article, we are going to look at porcelain tooth veneers.
Veneers can solve many issues people may have with their natural teeth – discoloration, cracks, chips, gaps, and general wear and tear that occurs as we grow older.
If you are good candidate, you will discuss with your cosmetic dentist the size, shape and color you would like your teeth to be. Your teeth are prepared by having the enamel moved and the teeth shaved down so that the veneers fit over the teeth without adding bulk. A mold or impression will be made and your custom veneers will be crafted, usually out of porcelain. Porcelain offers the most natural, beautifully translucent finish. This takes a week or two. Finally, the dentist fits them on, makes adjustments and fine-tuning for the perfect look, then cements them on. Then you walk off with the Hollywood smile you always dreamed of.
Tooth veneers cost a pretty penny – be prepared to shell out around $1,000 a tooth, give or take.
