What Are Porcelain Veneers?

In this video, Dr. Gloria Stingley explains when porcelain veneers are the right solution and why they work when whitening cannot.

Porcelain veneers are laboratory-fabricated veneers, which are stronger than chairside composite or resin veneers. They are very durable, last longer, and their color does not change over time. Porcelain veneers are especially beneficial for people with congenital defects in their teeth or for those whose teeth became discolored due to medications taken by their mother during pregnancy, such as tetracycline. These types of discoloration cannot be corrected with bleaching, so veneers are an effective option. In some cases, veneers may not fully correct the issue, and a crown may be required.

If you have good oral hygiene and do not grind your teeth, veneers are an excellent way to achieve what is often referred to as a Hollywood smile. Veneers are a treatment of choice for improving the appearance of teeth because only a small amount of tooth structure is removed, which is why they are often recommended.
