How dental veneers can disguise imperfections of the smile

If you are considering a way to erase the imperfections of your smile and reveal the best version of yourself, it may be time to talk to Dr. Cheng Zhu of Freedom Dental in Fairfield, California, about the benefits of porcelain veneers!

What are porcelain veneers?

Many patients visiting our office are curious about the options available to enhance their smile. Porcelain veneers may be the solution when imperfections such as discoloration, irregular shaping, or chips and cracks in the front teeth become bothersome. These are thin facings that bond over the front of a tooth to disguise flaws in a completely natural way. Some patients may opt for a single porcelain veneer to address one tooth, while others may consider covering many of the front teeth for a complete smile transformation!

Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.
