Porcelain Veneers
An attractive smile can be your reality with the help of porcelain veneers. Dental issues, such as, chipped or discolored teeth don’t have to prevent you from obtaining the smile that you have always wanted. Dr. Chad L. Follis in Nashville, Tennessee offers his patients experience and knowledge in porcelain veneers and it shows in their smiles.
Common Problems Solved People wanting to cosmetically enhance their appearance often use porcelain veneers. A porcelain veneer procedure effectively treats a variety of teeth issues, such as:
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded directly to the tooth. Porcelain veneers typically cover just the front of the tooth, but sometimes they may wrap around the sides of the tooth and over the biting surfaces.; While porcelain alone is fragile, it becomes strong and resilient when bonded to your tooth.
The natural outer layer of enamel on your teeth is translucent and reflects light in a way that causes a gleaming, luminous smile. Porcelain is also translucent and reflects light in the same way, so your porcelain veneers keep your bright smile looking natural.
Since each patient presents a different and unique situation, the amount of tooth preparation for porcelain veneers can vary; however, in most cases, only a small amount of tooth reduction is required. Dr. Follis will have the veneers made from a mold of your teeth, and in the meantime, you will get to wear beautiful-looking temporaries. You will get the opportunity to look at the permanent porcelain veneers in your mouth prior to bonding them in. Once you and the doctor are satisfied, he will permanently bond them in place and virtually make them a part of the tooth. Your final result will be a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Reasons for Porcelain Veneers
Substances like tea, coffee, red wine, and tobacco can stain teeth, which often leads people to porcelain veneers. Many worry that the same discoloration will occur after their veneers are bonded to their teeth. Because porcelain resists stain, your porcelain veneers will remain the same color throughout their lifetime. Porcelain crowns help with many of the same issues as porcelain veneers, but porcelain veneers require less tooth reduction and are thinner. Dental bonding is another way to cover and reshape teeth, but bonding material is not as stain-resistant as porcelain and does not have the same life span.
Life After Veneers
You will not have to worry about hiding your smile around others or in pictures after your porcelain veneers have become a part of your smile. Dr. Chad L. Follis is dedicated to giving you a natural-looking, attractive smile that will help you feel confident and comfortable.
