| Pros and Cons of Traditional Dental Porcelain Veneers Olathe |
Pros and cons of traditional dental porcelain veneers
The quality of your smile is important; especially in today “appearance conscious” world. Traditional porcelain veneers are certainly a great dental “innovation.” Porcelain veneers are thin wafer like coatings of porcelain that are used to cosmetically improve the appearance of teeth. Porcelain veneers can be used to improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, worn or discolored. Dental technology uses ways and means by which porcelain can be bonded on to the surface of teeth. This makes porcelain, which is normally a brittle substance, stronger and tenacious in its ability to hold on to the surface of natural tooth enamel.
This strongly bonded porcelain improves the overall appearance of teeth and forms a stain resistant outer layer for teeth. Porcelain veneers are long lasting and can be maintained for as long as a lifetime; although regular “touch ups” may be necessary in cases of “wear and tear.” However, veneering is not just a part of cosmetic dentistry. Porcelain veneering techniques are also used to mend chipped teeth, to fill in gaps and to help align teeth. In fact, such veneers are also often used where braces are not deemed suitable.
PROS
●Appropriate maintenance and care will ensure that porcelain veneers last well over ten years. Although chipping and other such damages may occur, this is not dissimilar to the effects of natural “wear and tear” on natural teeth. A simple visit to the dentist is all it takes for a small “repair” job which will make the veneers as good as new.
●The appearance of porcelain veneers closely resembles that of tooth enamel. This is because dental enamel and porcelain, which is a ceramic, share several similar properties.
●Unlike crowns, porcelain veneers do not require extensive “molding” before the procedure is carried out.
●Apart from the health benefits that arise from the regular care and maintenance that veneers command; those who invest in veneers will also enjoy the benefits of increased self confidence that arises from an improved appearance.
●The smooth and impervious nature of porcelain ensures that porcelain veneers are extremely stain resistant.
CONS
●Porcelain veneers can be extremely expensive. Each veneer can cost up to $500- $1000.
●As costly as they are, veneers are not entirely resistant to damage; and “repairs” too can turn out to be costly.
●Porcelain veneering is a permanent and therefore “irreversible” procedure that requires a lifetime of maintenance.
●Despite the numerous benefits, porcelain veneering is still a strictly “artificial” procedure. This will be dissatisfactory for those who wish for a more “natural” solution to their dental problems. |
