Last week we discussed what patients could expect from porcelain veneers. This week, your Houston dentist, Dr. Deborah Gennero, answers some of the most frequently asked questions regarding this state-of-the-art cosmetic procedure. As we discussed, veneers are thin shells of dental porcelain that Dr. Gennero places on a patient’s front teeth. Porcelain veneers provide a variety of benefits, and by answering these questions we’re going to take a deeper look at the advantages offered by porcelain veneers.
Porcelain Veneer Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Do porcelain veneers look natural?
Answer: Absolutely. Porcelain reflects light in the same manner as tooth enamel. Dr. Gennero can also shade your veneers to match your natural teeth.
Question: Can porcelain veneers brighten my smile?
Answer: Instantly! Porcelain veneers allow Dr. Gennero to mask permanent and embarrassing tooth stains. When you walk out of our practice, you will have a gorgeous smile free of unsightly discoloration.
Question: Can porcelain veneers repair cracked or chipped teeth?
Answer: Porcelain veneers enable Dr. Gennero to repair fractured and broken teeth. Not only will your smile look better, but veneers can protect your teeth. When a tooth is damaged, the sensitive layer of dentin beneath the enamel is exposed to harmful bacteria. This often leads to tooth decay and in some cases, a painful, abscessed tooth. With porcelain veneers, your smile is safe!
Questions: Can porcelain veneers make my smile appear straighter?
Answer: Yes! Porcelain veneers help your smile appear free of misalignment. In fact, veneers can also close gaps between teeth. Porcelain veneers can act as instant orthodontics.
Question: How long will my porcelain veneers last?
Answer: With proper care and maintenance, your porcelain veneers can provide decades of durable and stain-resistant restoration. Simply maintain regular dental habits such as brushing and flossing, and always attend your checkups and cleanings with Dr. Gennero.
