Dental Veneers - Porcelain Laminates that Allow You to Change the Shape and Shade of the Affected Teeth - Hampton, VA

Joseph Coupal - Wednesday, June 10, 2015

Dental veneers in Hampton, VA are also often called porcelain dental laminates because they are made of thin pieces of porcelain that your gum tissues can tolerate. They are worn over the front of your teeth to change their shape and shade thereby masking the undesirable appearance of the affected teeth.

The porcelain veneers are being custom-made to match your teeth’s natural shade of your teeth. So when they are attached to the tooth surface, they blend immediately as if no wafer-thin shells are bonded with your teeth. They also mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth thereby making you achieve that sparkling smile that you have ever dreamed of. They can also be customized in order to assume a color that makes dark teeth appear whiter.

Dental veneers that are made from porcelain resist stain better than those made from resin composite materials. So if you have teeth that are worn down, gapped, chipped, uneven, or irregularly shaped, you can choose to undergo a safe and effective dental treatment using porcelain veneers. This dental treatment uses a conservative approach to improve the appearance of your dentition and achieve a brighter and sparkling smile.
