Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are made of a thin shell of ceramic (porcelain) that your cosmetic dentist bonds to your teeth in order to restore misshapen, cracked, chipped or broken teeth. They offer the chance for dental patients to obtain a brighter, whiter smile without having to go through major surgery or having braces placed on their teeth. For this reason, porcelain veneers are often referred to as instant orthodontics.
Porcelain veneers can quickly and easily change any of the following complaints you may have about your teeth:
� Color
� Spacing
� Alignment
� Length
� Shape
It is important that you only have your porcelain veneers placed by a cosmetic dentist who has undergone the extra specialist training beyond general dental school. This type of dentistry also requires that the dentist possess some level of artistic ability in order to provide patients with the best possible cosmetic results.
With the proper training, your dentist should be able to perform the special bonding techniques required for placing porcelain veneers. Also, the manipulation of colors to match your natural teeth and the artistry to design the perfect smile for your facial features requires extra care and training.
Not all dentists possess these creative skills. To learn more about porcelain veneers, please contact Dr. Michael Iott and Associates today.
