Porcelain veneers are dental applications which are made indirectly, meaning they are created outside a patient’s mouth, usually in a dental lab. These veneers often require the removal of a small amount of original tooth enamel layer to create adequate space for their placement. The porcelain veneers are bonded over the original tooth surface with the help of a light-sensitive resin which is placed in between the original tooth and the veneer surface, hardened with the use of a special curing light. The porcelain veneers are an excellent option for the aesthetic restoration of teeth but they cannot realign or correct severe dental or skeletal problems. Patients with severely malposed teeth with under or overbites, insufficient tooth substrate for bonding, extensive interdental spacing, parafunctional habits such as bruxism and poor oral hygiene are unlikely candidates for cosmetic restoration by porcelain veneers. While the only way to fully determine a patient’s candidacy for porcelain veneers is by scheduling an appointment with a skilled cosmetic dentist.
