You know quite a lot about porcelain veneers in terms of how they may benefit your smile, if you have been considering them for cosmetic improvement! You know that they will allow you to camouflage problems like issues with texture or staining, you know that you can customize their size and shape, and as a result, you know that you can truly change up the way your smile looks for the better! With that said, our Ankeny, IA team is aware that you may not really know much about the particulars that allow them to provide you with such a powerful dose of beauty! Discover more!
They’re Thin Yet Multi-Layered
Fun fact: Did you know that porcelain veneers are made up of multiple, very thin layers of ceramic? Yep, it’s true. So, while you may assume we’re just placing a single-layered casing on your tooth for improvement, we remind you that there’s actually some very complex and thoughtful engineering that goes into the formation of your veneer. Oh, and remember that your teeth are made up of multiple layers, too, so this gives veneers a much more lifelike finish.
They Reflect Light In A Unique Way
How is it possible to place porcelain veneers over your smile for improvement without them looking quite artificial, you wonder? Of course, choosing the right size, shape, and color that works for your smile are all factors that come into play. With that said, remember that it’s also about the way light reflects off of the porcelain. This takes place in a way that’s very similar to the way light bounces off of your own natural teeth, so again, the finish is a genuine-looking one.
They Seem Delicate But They’re Strong!
We want you to keep in mind that, as we mentioned, porcelain veneers are constructed of several layers of porcelain. This means that they’re much stronger than you might imagine, which is why when they’re placed on your teeth, they can withstand daily wear. You can speak, eat, etc., and all without damaging veneers that seem like they should be delicate but aren’t!
They Don’t Cover Your Whole Tooth
Surprise! Porcelain veneers don’t cover your entire tooth. That’s what crowns do! Instead, they are just going to create the illusion of change, as we place them onto the part of your tooth that’s visible to the outside world! Think of it as a major but pleasantly natural upgrade!
