Porcelain veneers remain one of the great success stories of cosmetic dentistry. No matter how many other solutions seem to come down the pike, from implants to dentures, veneers continue to be the best choice for many people. A brief explanation of what they do might help shed some light.

A veneer cannot restore your tooth to health. If you have an ailing root or infection, such issues must be addressed long before it would be practical to add a laminate or veneer. That said, if your root is strong and the problem is simply one of discoloration or chipping, a veneer is usually the optimal way to go. Porcelain veneers are as thin as contact lenses, and very little grinding is done to your natural teeth before placement.

Porcelain veneers use what you have--a healthy tooth whose appearance may be something less than ideal. A cosmetic specialist crafts a wafer-thin porcelain layer to fit around the tooth, giving it the attractive appearance of wholeness once again. The fix is permanent, impossible to spot, and perfectly matched to the remaining teeth in your mouth.
