Dental Veneers Philadelphia
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are custom-made, wafer-thin shells of tooth-colored materials made to coat the front surface of your teeth to enhance your smile. These thin shells are affixed to the outside of your teeth and can change the color, size, shape, or length of your teeth.
How are Dental Veneers made?
Porcelain veneers are produced using high quality porcelain materials.
Why are they better than other cosmetic dental options? Porcelain veneers do not stain and use the light reflecting properties of natural teeth to give you a more natural glow. If you live in Philadelphia, talk with our on-staff dentist go over options and find the best choice of veneer material for your smile.
Porcelain veneers are very strong and they look very life-like. They are also impervious to staining. However, although they are strong and have a long life, if they chip or break, then the entire veneer must be replaced.
So the question everyone always asks is:

Are Lumineers better than Veneers?
Lumineers serve the same function as porcelain veneers. The difference between lumineers and veneers is lumineers are simply bonded in place where veneers require that a layer of enamel must be removed before placing them in.
The original tooth is left unchanged and the enamel is not damaged with lumineers, which some patients prefer as a long-term solution.
Traditional veneers are normally around 0.5 millimeters thick, while Lumineers are normally 0.3 millimeters thick. Many patients and dental practitioners prefer the Lumineers brand over traditional veneers since they are thinner and easier to apply.
The best thing about Lumineers is they are painless method to gaining a perfectly aligned smile and bright white teeth. Likewise, you don’t need to replace your current dental or crown bridges to get Lumineers.
