WHAT ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS?
Porcelain veneers are thin tooth-shaped caps that are adhered to the surface of a broken, damaged or misshapen tooth. These veneers are masterfully-crafted with a durable ceramic composite. Porcelain dental veneers are very thin and appear to be fragile, they are tough enough to enable you to bite and chew just like you would with natural teeth.
*Depending on your veneer(s) Dr. Ratcliff may advise you to avoid certain foods or be slightly more careful in certain circumstances.
How Porcelain Dental Veneers Can Help
Dental Veneers are often a quick and affordable way to improve any imperfections in your smile that you don’t want to spend a lot of time or money on. Here are some of the dental issues that can be fixed with porcelain veneers:
CHIPPED TEETH
Normal wear and tear accompanies us through life. Dental Veneers are a fantastic way to restore chipped teeth.
CRACKED TEETH
Sometimes cracks in teeth become so deep and pronounced that they are unpleasantly noticeable. A tooth veneer can mask these unsightly cracks.
TEETH GAPS
Porcelain veneers are often used to successfully fill in small gaps in a smile, therefore bypassing orthodontia or other treatments.
MISALIGNED TEETH
Moderate misalignment of teeth can be addressed with dental veneers, resulting in a beautiful straight smile minus 6-12 months of braces.
MISSHAPEN TEETH
Porcelain veneers are phenomenal at reshaping or right-sizing a tooth by starting with the current tooth and “building it out” to become a great-looking and fully-functional tooth.
WORN TOOTH ENAMEL
Part of life’s natural wear and tear mentioned above includes the wearing down of natural tooth enamel. Dr. Stephen Ratcliff’s porcelain veneers look just as beautiful as natural tooth enamel and restore the protection for the tooth as well.
