Porcelain veneers
Are an excellent solution for people with
discolored crooked, gapped, worn, or cracked
teeth. In fact, in many ways Toronto porcelain
veneers are the flagship
cosmetic dental
treatment because they can
essentially give a person a whole new smile all
at once. In addition, Porcelain Veneers Toronto
can be a great protective treatment for your
teeth.
Decay
Resistant
Unlike tooth enamel, the ceramic laminate
used to make Porcelain Veneers Toronto neither
decays as a result of exposure to the acid
byproducts of mouth-dwelling bacteria or stains
as a result of exposure to melanoidins found in
foods like coffee, black tea, chocolate, and red
wine. This means that Porcelain Veneers Toronto
can not only give you a great-looking smile,
they can give you a smile that lasts. In
addition, they can strengthen your teeth by
providing an additional layer of support, almost
like the layered composite armor used on modern
main battle tanks. However, the teeth behind the
veneers are still susceptible to decay, and
there are some special considerations you should
keep in mind about cavities in veneered teeth.
Behind The
Porcelain Veneer
The porcelain veneer itself is made of pressed laminate
ceramic, which is very strong, and the veneer is
attached to the tooth by means of a plastic
compound sometimes called cement. Before the
veneers are placed or crafted, the teeth are
prepared to receive them through the removal of
dental enamel. The amount of enamel removed
varies, both according to the preferences and
the technique of the dentist doing the
preparation, and it is unlikely to be completely
uniform. Normally, the amount removed is between
0.3 and 0.5 mm, often leaving little to no
enamel on the prepared surface. Fortunately, the
prepared surface is protected by the veneer.
