An engineered hardwood floor features a thin strip of solid wood over a less aesthetic core to give the homeowner the looks and feel of luxury wood without some of the difficulties of hardwood (expansion, contraction, damage). In many ways, porcelain veneers are much like an engineered tooth as they feature a bright coating that’s used to create attractiveness and style.
It’s not hard to see the allure of porcelain veneers as they are the most popular form of cosmetic dentistry in the industry. Customers can regain their confidence and smile at a fraction of the cost and pain of a root canal, braces, dentures, or other procedures.
While porcelain veneers can be a mental boost to the patient, they are also very functional as well for a number of benefits:
Lengthen Teeth
Over the years teeth can get chipped, cracked, and just ground down from accidents, improper care, or biting on something wrong. A set of teeth that are all random sizes looks awkward and installing a thin shell of veneers on top can give them a uniform look.
Close Gaps
Teeth that grow apart over the years also lose some of their attractiveness but well measured veneers can help close these gaps and give the mouth a more compact look. Gaps are not only unsightly; they are food traps that can cause bad breath and embarrassment so the veneers help in two ways.
Give Proper Alignment
Whether from birth or bad habits improper tooth alignment such as an over or under bite can develop over the years. Veneers help force the alignment back into shape naturally and without any obtrusive headgear or alignment devices.
Change Color
Even properly aligned and shifted teeth can still start to discolor over the years especially in smokers. The brightness of the porcelain veneers creates a white appearance that looks like you’ve brushed and flossed three times daily for years.
