Growing Popularity of Porcelain Veneers

    ATLANTA, GA, February 20, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Porcelain veneers are gaining popularity and they are quickly becoming one of the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures. They offer great solutions for numerous problems affecting the beauty of your smile. The most common issues treated with porcelain veneers are:

• Cracked or chipped teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Crowded teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Severe staining or discoloration

Because the veneers are placed directly over your natural teeth, you want to make sure the material is as realistic looking as possible. The porcelain veneer process is often referred to as "instant orthodontics" because it is an option for correcting problems that were, at one point, only treatable with traditional braces.

Porcelain Veneer Benefits

The benefits of porcelain veneers are:

• The process is non-invasive
• The procedure is virtually pain free
• The veneers offer a permanent solution that won't change over time, unlike traditional orthodontic procedures, where your teeth can continue to shift
• Complete results can be achieved with as little as two office visits

Porcelain Veneers Process

The whole porcelain veneer process typically takes about two office visits. On your first visit, you can expect your dentist to:

• Remove a small amount of your tooth enamel
• Discuss how white you want your final veneers to be
• Make an impression of your teeth to have your custom veneers created specifically for your mouth
• Apply temporary veneers on your teeth so that you can still eat and drink normally

On your second visit during the process, you can expect your dentist to:

• Clean and prepare your teeth for the veneer placement
• Place your custom veneers on your teeth using a composite resin that will bond with your tooth's enamel
• Adjust your bite if needed

After only two short visits, you will have a brand new smile to show the world.
