Porcelain Veneers Questions

Serving Caldwell, Essex County, Livingston, and Verona, New Jersey

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers consist of a very thin shell of porcelain which is bonded to the front of your teeth. They are crafted to perfectly match the shape and color of your natural teeth, and can correct the appearance of many dental flaws in one solution.

What kinds of problems can porcelain veneers solve?

The beauty of porcelain veneers is their ability to resolve several cosmetic dentistry problems in one, quick solution including:

• Discoloration
• Crooked teeth
• Uneven teeth
• Teeth which appear too short
• Chips
• Cracks
• Gaps
• Broken teeth
• Misshapen teeth

Porcelain veneers are a great solution for teeth which do not respond to tooth whitening. They are often referred to as “instant orthodontics” because they can correct the appearance of crooked teeth without the process of straightening your teeth.

Will porcelain veneers look like my natural teeth?

Yes. They will be matched to the shape and color of your natural teeth, for a completely seamless look. Porcelain reflects light in the same way as your natural tooth enamel so, not only is the color perfectly matched, they look real and alive.

Will porcelain veneers feel bulky or affect my speech?

No, the veneers themselves are very thin, and will feel and act just like your natural teeth.

Are porcelain veneers strong enough for me to eat a normal diet?

Yes. Even though they are very thin they are very strong and durable once they are bonded to your teeth.

Will my porcelain veneers stain easily?

No. Unlike some of the older tooth colored materials, porcelain is very resistant to staining.
