Porcelain veneers and your smile
Porcelain
veneers, or laminates, are ultrathin custom made shells custom made in a
dental laboratory that are bonded to your existing teeth after they have
been minimally reduced. After they are bonded on they are very strong
and have the look of an incredibly beautiful natural teeth. With
excellent home care and regular professional cleanings, veneers can last
up to 10 years or more.
Veneers can be used to close large spaces, whiten severely discolored
teeth, straighten moderately crooked teeth without braces, rebuild
chipped or broken teeth, and lengthen worn teeth. They blend naturally
to create a beautiful smile and because they are porcelain, they do not
stain or change color. Dr. Kaggen routinely rechecks cases he did twelve
years ago and finds that most of them still look very good.
