Porcelain veneers have become popular as a cosmetic dental treatment for several different reasons. When it comes to results, porcelain veneers can often offer the most lifelike appearance and durability when it comes to improving your healthy, natural tooth structure. The thin nature of veneers and the minimally invasive nature of their placement means they’re also preferable in helping many patients preserve more of their tooth’s natural structure. Today, we examine three things that veneers are able to achieve for your smile thanks to their unique, high-quality construction and highly customizable appearance.

1. Fix a tooth more conservatively

Improving a tooth with a porcelain veneer is a straight-forward process. If the tooth is discolored or has another serious cosmetic blemish, then the veneer can completely restore the healthy appearance of the tooth’s front surface. However, this also gives porcelain veneers the ability to restore a tooth’s strength and integrity, which can be especially important when addressing certain types of cosmetic issues. For instance, if a tooth is chipped or has a light crack in its surface that negatively impacts its appearance, then a veneer can be placed on its front surface to restore the tooth’s healthy and strong structure.

2. Improve your whole smile at once

While a single porcelain veneer can be an excellent way to improve the appearance of a single tooth, veneers are even more beneficial for patients who have multiple teeth that need cosmetic or restorative improvement. Placing a veneer onto the surface of a tooth is a minimally invasive process that only requires sculpting a small amount of enamel from the surface to accommodate the porcelain veneer. When this process is repeated for multiple teeth, custom veneers can create a complete smile makeover while minimizing the extent of your overall treatment plan.

3. Help you create a straighter smile

One of the greatest benefits of porcelain veneers is their ability to address multiple types of tooth concerns at once in a highly conservative manner. One of the concerns they can sometimes address is the slight misalignment of one or more teeth, which may be caused by a minor malformation in their structures. If the misalignment isn’t severe enough to require orthodontic treatment, then one or more strategically placed veneers may be able to improve your smile’s contour more conveniently than you expected.
