Porcelain Dental Veneers, a Conservative Approach to Restore Chipped Front Teeth - Newport News, VA

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, January 13, 2015

Matching the single tooth to the shade and shape of the adjacent teeth has become increasingly more convenient with the use of dental veneers in Newport News, VA. The use of porcelain laminates is a conservative alternative in treating minor, moderate, to major defects in teeth caused by either discoloration, decay, trauma, or injury.

A dental treatment that involves porcelain dental veneers not only masks undesirable traits but also matches the color of the existing or remaining natural teeth. Such treatment strengthens the affected teeth in the process so further damage can be prevented as well. Another plus is that they are applied directly to the teeth. So you no longer need to pay multiple visits to the dental clinic as the treatment can be accomplished in a single appointment.

In the case of chipped front teeth, the dental veneers can actually be bonded with the remaining surfaces of the teeth. These veneers help in preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible through adhesive dentistry, restoring both aesthetics and functionality of the affected tooth. They replace the lost tooth structure such that it blends with the rest for a more natural looking effect as if you have not undergone a treatment.

There are many factors to consider when choosing what dental treatment best restores your chipped tooth. So it is imperative that you consult with your dentist at Oyster Point Dentistry.
