Orange County Cosmetic Dentistry: Procelain Veneers Combine Art and Science

June 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Porcelain Veneers are an excellent example of combining art and science in the area of cosmetic dentistry to give a patient that beautiful smile that they desire. For decades dentists have had materials which can be bonded directly to teeth to make a new smile. However, by taking the bonding process a step farther, Cosmetic dentists now use the bonding capabilities of certain dental materials to securely attach thin sheets of porcelain to an individual tooth. These thin porcelain veneers are attached to cover both the front of the tooth and the biting surface of the tooth to give the appearance of a natural looking tooth. Although porcelain is inherently brittle, it becomes very strong and durable when it is attached to a sturdy substructure like a tooth.

Porcelain veneers are used to create new beautiful smiles instead of other types of cosmetic bonding material because the veneer becomes the permanent tooth covering that will create a very natural appearing tooth structure. Bellevue Porcelain Veneer coverings that have been used to create new smiles are not susceptible to tooth decay. A significant advantage of porcelain veneers over other types of cosmetic dentistry bonding is that porcelain is ceramic, or glass-like, giving it a surface that is extremely smooth and impervious. Because of this impervious feature, porcelain veneers will not pick up any permanent stains. Therefore, the color will not change because the porcelain veneers are resistant to stains such as tea, coffee, red wine, grape juice, and cigarette smoking.
