An Article on Dental Veneers

If your front teeth are stained, chipped, or malaligned, veneers will give you a good life-like appearance with minimum tooth adjustment. A veneer is a facing on the front of your teeth usually your top teeth, it is just like a false finger nail. Veneers are made out of porcelain and are used mainly for aesthetic reasons. Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and because they are very thin and are held in place by a special strong bond with very little preparation of the tooth. Porcelain veneers can  help improve the colour, shape and position of teeth. A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured or stained tooth or to lighten front teeth .Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when braces are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others. Veneers are thin, semi-translucent shells which are bonded at the anterior of your front teeth. The thickness of these veneers range from around 0.3mm to 0.5mm and are quite strong as they are bound to the teeth. There are  advantages that are enjoyed with veneers which are not available in crowns. There is no massive grinding of the tooth structure required in veneers. There is also no “dark line” which is visible in old front crowns. Light is also transmitted in a better way in veneers that gives them a translucent natural look.
