Dreaming of a white, even, and perfect smile? The solution responsible for Hollywood stars' smiles has become more accessible and advanced than ever – porcelain veneers.
What Exactly is a Porcelain Veneer?
A porcelain veneer is essentially a very thin and highly durable "leaf" of porcelain, custom-made in a laboratory. The veneer is delicately bonded to the front of the natural tooth. The treatment allows me to redesign the smile meticulously and conservatively, with minimal impact on the tooth structure.
Who is the Treatment For?
- Deep discoloration: Stains that do not respond to regular teeth whitening treatments.
- Gaps between teeth: Closing unattractive gaps without the need for prolonged orthodontic treatment.
- Worn or broken teeth: Restoring the original and youthful shape of the tooth.
- Disproportion: Teeth that are too small or unevenly shaped that compromise the harmony of the smile.
The Prominent Advantages of Porcelain
The greatest advantage of porcelain is its translucency, which perfectly mimics natural tooth enamel. Additionally, unlike other materials, porcelain does not absorb pigments. It is a durable solution that lasts for many years.
How is the Process Carried Out in the Clinic?
I, Dr. Anton Gurevich, advocate for precise and transparent dentistry. The process begins with a diagnostic and digital planning meeting. I create a simulation that allows you to see what your new smile will look like before we even touch a single tooth.
