You will often hear people say, that the celebrities have veneers and this may look as the best way to have perfect teeth. However, every clinical case is different.

Porcelain veneers are a very good choice, when you need to change your teeth’s color, shape or size. They successfully restore broken teeth, close gaps between teeth and a slight change in their position is made. They are sticked directly on the outer visible surface of the teeth.

Advantages

• With porcelain veneers teeth look natural and the smile could be transformed only for two or three visits.
• As opposed to the natural teeth, the veneers are resistant to staining by coffee, tea, cigarette smoke, coloring food and drinks.
• In most of the cases for their placement a minimal part of the tooth is removed, even less than the crowns.
• They are a good choice for teeth, resistant to whitening, because their color could be selected in a way that even the darkest teeth could become white.

Disadvantages

• Usually, for the veneer placement it is necessary to remove part of the tooth’s enamel, i.e. the initial state of it could not be returned.
• Few days after their cementation teeth could be sensitive to cold and hot food and drinks.
• If it breaks, the veneer could not be repaired in the most cases and should be replaced.
• Even though the tooth is covered with a veneer, that does not prevent the development of decay.
