What are Porcelain Veneers? 
 
Porcelain Veneers are custom-made overlays which are placed over unsightly or less than perfect teeth to create a gorgeous and natural looking smile.

Who is a candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain Veneers are routinely used to fix:
  • More on VaneersDiscolored teeth - teeth can become discolored because of root canal treatment, stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive childhood fluoride ingestion, or the presence of old resin fillings
  • Chipped, broken or worn down teeth
  • Misaligned, crowded, uneven or irregularly shaped teeth
  • Gapped teeth 
With porcelain veneers you can retain the strength of your natural teeth, as very little natural tooth needs to be removed.

The treatment is also time efficient, requiring only two appointments in most cases. The skill and artistry of the dentist is critical in achieving a beautiful and long-lasting result. Dr. Jan Roberts has both.

Like a bread without the spreadin'.
Like a puddin' without the sauce,
Like a mattress without beddin',
Like a cart without a horse,
Like a door without a latchstring,
Like a fence without a stile,
Like a dry an' barren creek bed -
Is the face without a smile.

"I have received many compliments although most people aren't sure what they are complimenting me on.  They say I look "different" (in a good way) but most people aren't sure what it is that's different.  That's exactly what I wanted... to look the same but better!" - JH

Pros and Cons of Porcelain Veneers
 
Porcelain Veneers are a conservative way of revitalizing your smile, reproducing Nature's beauty and giving you a healthier, younger-looking appearance.

Here are a few advantages and disadvantages of porcelain veneers.

Pros: 
  • More on VaneersRealistic Appearance. The ceramic used looks natural and realistic.
  • Stain-resistant. Porcelain is a "glass-like" surface which makes the teeth extremely smooth and impervious. No need to worry about coffee or wine stains!
  • Durable. Veneers can last up for many years.
  • Relatively Quick Procedure. Eliminate some orthodontic abnormalities without braces! While braces can take from months to years to achieve the desired results, Porcelain Veneers require only a few visits.
  • Conservative. Generally, little tooth structure needs to be removed.
  • Low maintenance.
  • Custom made. You can control the size, shape and color.

Cons: 

  • Fragility. Porcelain Veneers are not immune to chipping and or breaking when exposed to excessive impact or force (teeth grinding, nail biting, eating hard foods).
  • Relatively costly procedure. The cost of veneers is sometimes more than braces and other aesthetic options such as bonding.
  • Permanence. The procedure is generally irreversible after a small portion of the tooth is removed.
