Porcelain Veneers:

Cost from $ 425

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material, which are bonded to the front of teeth. This procedure requires little or no anesthesia, and can be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of the front teeth. Porcelain veneers are placed to mask discolorations, to brighten teeth, and to improve a smile.

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells that are adhered to the front of your teeth. They also strengthen your teeth. When they straighten teeth or close gaps between teeth, they can prevent future cavities. Porcelain veneers are less invasive than caps or crowns. Very little tooth enamel is removed when porcelain veneers are adhered to a tooth, so the tooth keeps its overall integrity.

Porcelain veneers can hide stains that cannot be eliminated by whitening solutions, including stains on teeth produced by antibiotics in childhood. The antibiotic tetracycline permanently stains teeth unevenly. Bleaching solutions bleach teeth evenly and can therefore give someone with tetracycline-stained teeth a brighter smile, but they can't remove uneven discoloration.

In contrast, porcelain veneers cover teeth entirely and give them a uniformly bright look.If you are an adult and braces are not an option, porcelain facings can be used to create evenly spaced teeth, removing gaps; fix crooked teeth; and correct tooth size and overall appearance.
