Dental porcelain veneers are finger nail thin porcelain shells used to create a beautiful smile. They can be used to correct gapped chipped or badly aligned teeth. They are an important part of instant orthodontics where a cosmetic dentist uses them to straighten, lengthen and whiten teeth.

          Dental porcelain veneers cut away less tooth than a dental crown. Unlike composite laminates and direct dental bonding, the natural looking porcelain material does not discolor or stain. These restorations are designed to fit a patient's face, smile and personality. When made correctly, they are very strong and have a natural looking surface texture.

         An experienced cosmetic dentist uses the best method for each tooth to create a patient's beautiful smile. Dental porcelain veneers are only one tool to do this. Tooth whitening, porcelain crowns, cosmetic tooth contouring, gum contouring and other cosmetic dental techniques are also used together to create wonderful smiles.
