Porcelain veneers as an affordable cosmetic treatment
Porcelain veneers are a type of dental restoration used to improve the appearance and function of teeth with minimal alteration compared to crowns. They can be used cosmetically for slight tooth alignment or orthodontic reasons, but their primary purpose is aesthetic enhancement. At McDaniel Family Dental, Drs. Niki McDaniel and Rebecca Spencercan use veneers to disguise imperfections that need to be corrected with a natural-looking dental restoration. We often recommend porcelain veneers for patients near the Blue Springs, Missouri community with concerns about the teeth at the front of the mouth.
Understanding porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain that cover the front side of the teeth. Veneer placement requires grinding down the tooth structure or removing a slim portion from the front of the teeth to make room for the new restoration to fit without adding unsightly bulk. This sectioning or reduction allows for edges that can be bonded into place firmly, covering over existing defects while not interfering with the normal functioning of the tooth and surrounding teeth.
How much do porcelain veneers cost?
Veneers are an affordable option when patients consider alternative treatments and the lifespan of their new restorations. While veneers may cost more than solutions such as dental bonding, they are stain-resistant and can last over a decade with proper care.
