Unfortunately, you might be unhappy with the way your teeth look. Little cosmetic flaws in your pearly whites can cause you to hold back when your friends want to take selfies or when you meet others for the first time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnthompsondds.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">Porcelain veneers<\/a> might be the solution you\u2019ve been looking for!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Disguise Flaws and Let Your Light Shine<\/h2>\n<p>Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that your dentist permanently attaches to the fronts of your teeth. They are able to cover over all sorts of little \u2014 and big \u2014 imperfections, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cracks and chips<\/li>\n<li>Minor misalignment<\/li>\n<li>Discoloration<\/li>\n<li>Teeth that are too shape<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All you have to do to discover the magic of porcelain veneers is perform a simple internet search for before and after pictures. You\u2019ll be amazed by how many people, ordinary folks and celebrities alike, have transformed their look with these remarkable little tooth covers.<\/p>\n<h2>But Isn\u2019t Bonding Cheaper?<\/h2>\n<p>Some people choose dental bonding to disguise their smile\u2019s flaws. The bonding process uses a composite resin that a dentist attaches to the teeth. The results can look fabulous, transforming misshapen and misaligned teeth into ones that anybody would be proud to show off. Plus, dental bonding costs less than porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n<p>Before you jump on the bonding bandwagon, however, there are a few key things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dental bonding does not last nearly as long as porcelain veneers. Porcelain can endure for 10 to 15 years or longer. Bonding, on the other hand, may only last between five and seven years before it needs to be replaced.<\/li>\n<li>Porcelain is more resistant to stains than bonding. The resin used in bonding is fairly porous, which means that it is more likely to become discolored over time, especially for people who smoke cigarettes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Are There Any Disadvantages to Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n<p>Porcelain veneers are a fantastic way to hide cosmetic flaws in your smile, but you should always read the fine print before you commit to anything. The installation process requires that your dentist in Corpus Christi removes a thin layer of enamel from your teeth, which means that you\u2019ll have to wear veneers for the rest of your life in order to protect your natural pearly whites.<\/p>\n<p>Also, while you can care for veneers in much the same way as you would your natural teeth, it\u2019s good to keep in mind that certain foods and drinks (like coffee and blueberries) may stain them if you indulge too frequently. It\u2019s also wise to remember that munching on hard foods may chip the porcelain, so you should always take care when you\u2019re eating.<\/p>\n<p>Porcelain is one of the marvelous tools of modern dentistry. If you\u2019re not satisfied with the way your smile looks, why not ask your dentist about veneers?<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Dentist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. John Thompson has decades of experience in dentistry, and he provides cosmetic as well as general services to help his patients have healthy, gorgeous smiles.
