You even began to think that this was your fate and that you\u2019d just have to settle for it. But a new day has dawned, and you\u2019ve become aware that there are options available to you. One that really peaks your interest is porcelain veneers. And your local dentist explains why this is a route that you should definitely consider for perfecting your smile.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What are Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n<p>The porcelain veneer procedure is primarily cosmetic, where thin strips of dental-grade porcelain are placed over your teeth to mask any imperfections. The process usually takes two office visits to complete and involves removing a thin layer of your enamel, and then adhering temporary veneers to your teeth. Meanwhile, your custom set is being crafted at a laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll receive your permanent veneers at your second visit, where your dentist will adhere them to your teeth using a bonding compound.<\/p>\n<h2>The Advantages of Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n<p>There are several advantages to getting porcelain veneers, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Aesthetics <\/strong>\u2013 Your new veneers will mask issues like slight misalignments, gapped or crooked teeth. They can also be used in cases of severe staining that cleaning, whitening and other procedures can\u2019t address.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stain Resistant <\/strong>\u2013 Porcelain is a stain-resistant material. And practicing proper dental hygiene and abstaining from certain foods and drinks, like tomato sauce and wine, will further boost the longevity of your perfect smile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Function <\/strong>\u2013 You can expect some improvement in functionality, especially if you have a gap in your front teeth, as it affects the way you chew food and your ability to pronounce certain words.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Your Smile Matters<\/h2>\n<p>Your smile matters because you\u2019re judged by it. Studies show that one-third of Americans say that teeth are the first things they notice about a person, and perceive people with straight teeth to be 45% more likely to get a job than those with crooked teeth.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly though, is the way you feel about yourself. Other studies have proven by measuring hormone output that the better you feel about yourself, the better your overall health is. So you truly are what you think.<\/p>\n<p>When you feel ready to take the big step and gain control of your destiny, your cosmetic dentist of Weatherford is available to guide you to where you should be \u2013 a place of confidence and happiness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Garrett Mulkey earned his undergraduate degree from Baylor University and then went on to receive his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Baylor College of Dentistry.
