Your smile can be your greatest asset and your best feature. There are many ways to enhance your smile such as braces, teeth whitening, etc., but sometimes these methods are not enough to achieve the smile you want. With porcelain veneers you can change the shape and color of your teeth. Porcelain veneers are very popular among celebrities, especially singers, where a lot of attention goes to their mouth. However, now porcelain veneers are more affordable and becoming more common everywhere. Anyone who is self conscious about their smile can benefit from porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers can fix anything from chipped teeth to gaps between teeth and discoloration. The procedure of veneers begins with finding a dentist that you trust and that understand what you are trying to achieve in getting your set of veneers. Bring in magazine cut-out of what you would like your smile to look like to help give the dentist a visual idea. Your dentist will then take x-rays, impressions and examine your current teeth to see what options you will have and figure out how to construct your set of porcelain veneers.

Once you and your dentist have determined the look you want the dentist will construct the porcelain veneers which can take up to two weeks. When they are finished you will make an appointment to have them installed. The dentist will trim off a thin layer of enamel off of your teeth, about the same thickness of the veneers that will be placed there. They will then test the veneers and make any adjustments to them before applying the bonding agent. Once they fit perfectly, the teeth will get cleaned and etched in order to give the cement bonding agent a rough surface to adhere to. The dentist uses a special light to activate the bonding between the tooth and the porcelain veneer.

After removing any excess bonding agent, your new beautiful porcelain veneers will be finished and you will be ready to show them off. You may have a couple follow up consultations just to see how your mouth is adapting to the veneers. However, porcelain is usually accepted well by the gums and you should have no problems. Porcelain veneers are stain resistant and permanent; you will never have to worry about the hassle of teeth whitening again. The only thing left to do is smile and smile often.
