Using dental veneers to improve the aesthetics of the smile
Patients who visit a cosmetic dentist in The Woodlands, Texas community often look for ways to cover and disguise imperfections of the smile. If you have imperfect teeth that are permanently stained, misshapen, or broken, our team at Leah Zils, DDS, may suggest the benefits of dental veneers. These thin facings bond over natural teeth to cover areas where restoration may be required.
What Types Of Veneers Are Available At Leah Zils, DDS?
At our practice, we offer the following dental veneer solutions:
- Composite veneers. Composite veneers are our most affordable, as they are made of composite resin and can cover common imperfections quickly and easily. However, these are susceptible to staining and chipping, so they will need to be replaced more often than a porcelain veneer.
- Porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are fabricated from porcelain material and are often used as a stronger, longer-lasting solution to composite restorations. They are stain-resistant and typically last approximately ten years or longer with proper care and attention. They can break, however, so they should be protected with oral appliances worn at night for those with conditions such as bruxism that can result in the clenching and grinding of the teeth.
Which One Is Right For Me?
