These days, it\u2019s often fairly easy to improve it. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pittsburghissmiling.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Porcelain veneers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are a popular cosmetic treatment for patients who are interested in transforming the appearance of their front teeth &#8212; and they offer a number of advantages. One of the most significant is that porcelain is highly stain-resistant, so the veneers will stay dazzling white for years after their application. That\u2019s right &#8212; these restorations really don\u2019t stain. Keep reading to find out more about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">how<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It\u2019s time to learn about the science of porcelain veneers!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Porcelain is Non-Porous<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dental veneers are made out of porcelain, a biocompatible material that reflects light in the same way as the teeth you were born with, ensuring that your results will look completely natural. In fact, the only significant difference between porcelain and your tooth enamel is that the latter is porous &#8212; so it is likely to absorb the shades of what you eat and drink. But when coffee, red wine, and other highly pigmented items come into contact with porcelain, these colors bounce right off. Your dentist will continue to polish the veneers during your routine checkups and cleanings to keep them sparkling throughout their duration. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other Benefits of Veneers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The fact that veneers do not stain isn\u2019t the only benefit of this cosmetic treatment. There\u2019s a reason more and more people are getting porcelain veneers each year! Some of the most significant advantages of choosing this treatment are listed below. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Veneers are highly customizable, ensuring that they match the size, shape, and shade that suit your smile the best. In general, teeth look best when they are about the same shade of white as the whites in your eyes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When cared for properly, dental veneers can last for up to 20 years. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Veneers can be used to mask the appearance of any number of imperfections, from chipped or broken teeth to stained, misshapen, or oddly textured teeth. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When used to cover up slight gaps between the front teeth, veneers can eliminate the need for braces altogether. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Are Veneers Right for You?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many people can benefit from porcelain veneers. This treatment is typically reserved for patients over the age of 18, as an unexpected growth spurt can alter the appearance of veneers. Patients who grind their teeth or play contact sports should invest in a customized mouthguard to protect their veneers from chips or other damage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To wrap up, veneers are a wonderful option for many people &#8212; and you can even think of them as a permanent teeth whitening treatment! If you are interested in improving the appearance of your smile, do not hesitate to talk to your cosmetic dentist in Mt. Lebanon about your options in cosmetic dentistry! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meet the Practice<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Dan Rairigh is a general and cosmetic dentist offering excellence in dentistry from the office of Advanced Dental Solutions of Pittsburgh.
