What are the advantages of porcelain veneers over other cosmetic dental services, such as dental bonding?

Porcelain veneers and dental bonding are two common cosmetic dentistry treatments provided by our team at Shandley Kane Dental in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The office sees many patients who are considering these two treatments and want to know the added benefits of dental veneers compared to traditional composite resin bonding. Let’s take a closer look at veneers and their many advantages.

What are porcelain veneers, and how do they improve the smile?

Because porcelain veneers are customized to the patient, they are natural-looking and beautiful! These restorations are created with the patient’s current smile in mind. Because porcelain is a material that looks just like natural tooth enamel, it blends in and looks as though no dental work was completed at all! 

Veneers are thin facings bonded onto a tooth’s front surface to disguise imperfections like chipped, cracked, or stained teeth. It can also be used alongside another veneer to disguise gaps between teeth at the front of the smile. Our team at Shandley Kane Dental can evaluate you and determine if you are a proper candidate for porcelain veneers or if you should consider an alternative cosmetic dental service instead.

What are the benefits of our porcelain dental veneers?

The team at Shandley Kane Dental encourages patients to consider the many advantages of porcelain dental veneers for enhancing the smile. 

Below are some of the benefits that our patients enjoy when it comes to using veneers to cover imperfections of the smile:

• Improved appearance of the smile. Porcelain dental veneers are used to make teeth look straighter, whiter, and more even in size and shape. This improves the overall appearance of a patient’s smile in just a few visits
• Long-lasting results with proper care. Veneers are made from highly durable porcelain material, designed to last many years without needing to be replaced or repaired due to wear and tear. The bonding process also makes them resistant to staining and discoloration over time, making them an excellent investment in your smile’s beauty
• Minimal preparation of the natural tooth. Unlike other cosmetic dentistry procedures, porcelain veneers require minimal preparation of the underlying teeth. This means that less enamel needs to be removed in order to place them, which helps preserve the strength and integrity of your natural teeth
• Fast results. Thanks to their durable porcelain construction, veneers can be completed in just a few short appointments at our office. With this quick turnaround time, patients can enjoy improved smiles with minimal disruption to their daily lives
