Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain used to recreate the natural look of teeth while also providing strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel. It is often the material of choice for those looking to make slight position alterations or to change tooth shape, size, and color. 

Porcelain laminate veneers consist of a compilation of several thin ceramic layers which replace the original tooth enamel and an adhesive layer. To apply a veneer, a very small amount of the original tooth enamel must be removed, usually less than a millimeter. This is essential as it creates room for the porcelain veneer to fit within the mouth and most accurately restore natural tooth function while creating an even better appearance than the original tooth. 

The bond between the original tooth and porcelain veneer is critical as it not only provides the esthetic perfection desired but also a strong bond which is essential for correct veneer function. Light-sensitive resin is placed between the original tooth and the veneer and then hardened using a special curing light.

Porcelain veneers are a very successful option in many situations where the original tooth has developed poor color, shape, and contours. It is also a good choice for fractured teeth, gaps between teeth, and in some situations where the tooth position is compromised, and there are minor bite-related problems.

Unlike natural teeth, custom-made veneers resist coffee and tea stains and cigarette smoke because they are made of high-tech materials. With veneers—as opposed to crowns—your natural teeth remain largely intact, with only a minimal amount being altered to fit the veneer. 

For teeth that resist whitening, veneers can make even the darkest teeth appear bright white. Contact your Federal Way dentist, Dr. Brar, to learn more about porcelain veneers today!
