Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are very small pieces of porcelain that have been precisely colored to match the surrounding teeth and molded into the appropriate tooth forms. Porcelain veneers may be practically indistinguishable from real teeth and even more robust than the enamel on your teeth when designed and placed properly.
At Highline dental practice, we provide you with the best porcelain veneers with the most practical approach to achieving the smile you want. Porcelain Veneers are quite common in cosmetic dentistry to enhance your smile appearance.
The way porcelain veneers function is that the dentist uses dental bonding to attach a very thin piece of white porcelain to your tooth. To achieve the ideal smile, you might have porcelain veneers placed solely on the teeth you require.

Dental Crowns Vs. Porcelain Veneers
Because porcelain veneers, unlike dental crowns, do not completely encase the whole tooth, some dentists believe their use is solely aesthetic. Porcelain veneers may, however, repair cracked, chipped, and fractured teeth and chemically discolored teeth that are resistant to whitening procedures.
Porcelain veneers have the added advantage of being made of a highly durable material that can be colored to precisely match the teeth around them and respond to whitening and other colorants like genuine teeth.
Porcelain veneer will respond like the enamel in your actual teeth, maintaining a consistent look to your smile for many years, in contrast to composite and resin fillings and dental crowns, which will continue to look flat and resist staining or whitening.
What Is Involved In Getting Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are typically applied throughout two sessions, with little to no necessary anesthetic. The surface is softly buff to prepare the teeth and shaped to accommodate the veneer’s thickness. You and the dentist will decide on a shade (color) once a cast or imprint of your teeth is obtained.
The teeth are cleaned with specific substances on the second appointment To ensure a lasting connection. After bonding cement between the tooth and veneer, a specialized laser beam is utilized to establish and solidify the bond.
You will get veneer care instructions. Regular dental checkups, proper brushing techniques, and flossing will prolong the life of new veneers.
