Los Angeles residents ask, “What are the benefits of porcelain veneers?”
Celebrities including Tom Cruise, Miley Cyrus, Demi Moore, Morgan Freeman, and many others have taken advantage of porcelain veneers to perfect their silver screen smiles. You can get this star-quality treatment at Downtown Dental. You may be wondering, “what are the benefits of porcelain veneers?” Allow me to explain some of the reasons my patients in Los Angeles are so satisfied with this cosmetic dentistry option.
Comparing porcelain veneers to other treatments
A dental veneer is a thin shell of lustrous porcelain. It is precisely shaped to fit over the front surface of a tooth to improve the appearance of shape, color, enamel, or alignment.
- Durable and stain resistant – Composite resin bonding material can also be used to hide chips and cracks, close gaps, and reshape teeth. However, it is not as tough or stain resistant as porcelain. With good home hygiene, veneers last many years.
- Superior whitening – Some deep stains cannot be lifted with professional whitening. Porcelain veneers mask stubborn discoloration beautifully.
- Natural look – I am experienced in creating and placing veneers so that they seat snugly and look completely natural. Resin veneers are more opaque than porcelain, and dental crowns may show a line at the margin.
- Cost effective – Veneers are more economical than crowns or orthodontics. While porcelain veneers carry a higher price tag than teeth whitening or resin bonding, they provide excellent value for their lifespan.
Advantages of a spectacular smile
Perhaps the most important benefit of porcelain veneers is impact on self-esteem and resulting success. I can’t promise that your new look will get you the job or mate of your dreams, but I can assure you that a confident smile will aid in your efforts.
Ask my patients in Los Angeles, “What are porcelain veneers?” and they may reply, “An investment in yourself.” Call 213-863-9464 for a consultation.
