Veneers: An Alternative for Whiter Teeth
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells applied to the front surfaces of teeth to improve their aesthetic appeal. They are custom-crafted to match the desired shape, size, and color of your teeth.
Are Veneers Right for Me?
If teeth whitening treatments cannot restore your discolored teeth, then porcelain veneers may be the solution for you. Teeth whitening treatments erase stains from the surface layers of teeth (called tooth enamel). Unfortunately, some cases of discoloration originate beneath the surface, in the tooth’s main structure, and cannot be treated with chemical teeth whitening. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, are applied to the fronts of your teeth, effectively concealing their blemishes. Also, since porcelain veneers are custom-crafted, their color can be matched specifically to your teeth.
Benefits of Whiter Teeth
There are many studies that link beautiful smiles to confidence. Whiter teeth can bring out the best in your smile, affecting your overall attitude on life. Most people with great smiles teem with self-confidence, which can influence their interactions with friends, coworkers, and complete strangers. If you are displeased about your discolored teeth, then consult your Temecula dentists to determine if porcelain veneers are a good fit for your smile.
