Common Questions & Answers about Porcelain Veneers

Six porcelain crowns were fabricated for the 6 upper front teeth. Within two appointments,his teeth were straighten (instant orthodontics), and rejuvenated.
Dan presented a unique challenge - he was fine with Six-Month Braces for his lower crowded teeth, but he absolutely refused them on his top teeth, even though he knew that Porcelain Veneers would require extensive shaping of the teeth to make them straight.

Porcelain veneers are placed over the front of teeth that appear too small, large or simply have an uneven surface.

For most of these patients, porcelain veneers are an excellent solution. These restorations are a great alternative to crowns, and they require that a lesser amount of tooth be...
