Posted on by Wager-Evans Dental

answering-questions-about-porcelain-veneers If you are looking for a way to significantly improve your appearance, and want lasting results, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers allow your dentist to make several visible improvements to your smile with a single cosmetic dental procedure. This means you can take care of discoloration – including discoloration regular whitening agents fail to fix – while also improving misshapen or damaged teeth. Not everyone will be an ideal candidate for this treatment, as it can involve the careful removal of some of your enamel. If your teeth are not capable of undergoing that removal, or not in sufficient shape to have veneers bonded to them, an alternative procedure may be needed.

Using Porcelain Veneers To Cover Damaged Teeth

Posted on by Wager-Evans Dental

using porcelain veneers to cover damaged teeth Dental damage comes in different forms. There are small signs of wear and tear that can build up over the years, though they can accumulate faster if you have a habit of grinding your teeth, or chewing on hard substances.
