When you go to brush your teeth, are your stubborn stains simply not going away? Did you sustain damage from a minor dental injury that left your tooth chipped or cracked cosmetically? If this sounds like you, you have a lot to gain from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.secondlinefamilydentistry.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">porcelain veneers in Metairie<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThere are few cosmetic treatments as versatile as veneers. If you want to solve multiple cosmetic issues at once, keep reading.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>What are Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\r\nPorcelain veneers are ultra-thin sheaths of ceramic designed to sit on the surface of teeth. They are typically placed in two appointments. After you have a consultation with your dentist in Metairie and discuss your options, your dentist will have your tooth minimally buffed down in order to make room for the veneer. Afterwards, your dentist will take an impression of your tooth and use it to produce the veneers at a dental lab.\r\n\r\nWhile the veneer is being made to match your existing smile\u2019s exact shape, color, and size, you\u2019ll wear temporary veneers to help you get acclimated to your new smile. Once the permanent veneers are produced, you\u2019ll come back to have them bonded, giving you the smile you\u2019ve always wanted.\r\n<h2>Discoloration<\/h2>\r\nOne of the most common reasons people seek cosmetic treatment is to make their smile look as white and bright as possible. With veneers, it doesn\u2019t matter how severe your stains are. Whether your enamel has worn down and exposed your tooth\u2019s natural dentin or you have stains caused by tetracycline, veneers will cover them effectively.\r\n<h2>Chips or Cracks<\/h2>\r\nIt\u2019s possible to chip and crack teeth without causing significant damage, but that doesn\u2019t mean it won\u2019t affect your smile and your self-esteem. Since dental bonding only lasts for a few years, porcelain veneers are considered to be a better long-term solution.\r\n<h2>Gaps<\/h2>\r\nWhen patients don\u2019t want to pursue orthodontic treatment like traditional braces or Invisalign, porcelain veneers can effectively cover up any gaps. The veneers are customized to be wider, effectively covering any gaps in your smile.\r\n<h2>Misalignments<\/h2>\r\nSimilar to gaps, misalignments can also be covered completely using porcelain veneers. While your teeth won\u2019t actually be straight, your smile will look like it just went through months of orthodontic treatment.\r\n<h2>Short Teeth<\/h2>\r\nMany patients are born with teeth that are either short or appear short because the gumline extends over them. Porcelain veneers can help balance out the proportions of teeth and gum without gum recontouring.\r\n\r\nBecause of the expansive versatility of porcelain veneers in Metairie, your dentist can solve multiple cosmetic issues simultaneously.
