Porcelain Veneers an Alternative to Braces
Porcelain Veneers an Alternative to Braces
By Tara Pingle
Porcelain veneers are custom made shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front sides of teeth. For many people, porcelain veneers correct chipped, cracked, and even discolored or stained front teeth. Now, many people are using porcelain veneers to obtain the beautiful straight teeth that used to require years of braces.
For many people, the only problem they have with their teeth is minor spacing problems or having a few crooked teeth. Although these problems could be corrected with braces, porcelain veneers can provide you with straight teeth in as little as a couple visits to a cosmetic dentist office.
Also, adults, teenagers, and professionals often find that braces will draw too much attention to their teeth, and may be self-conscious about having to wear braces. Porcelain veneers can provide the smile you want without the downfalls of traditional braces.
Porcelain veneers are custom made to match the size, shape, color, and translucency of your natural teeth. Porcelain veneers are durable and stain resistant, so that they will last you for years after they have been bonded to your teeth.
“Porcelain veneers are the perfect solution for anybody that wants to correct the appearance of their teeth without years of braces and dental appointments,” says Dr. Paez. “I can place porcelain veneers on my patient’s teeth in as little as a few weeks and a couple visits to the dentist office.”
