A porcelain veneer is also called a laminate, and is used to improve the look of previously uneven, chipped, or discolored teeth. It is a very thin porcelain sheet that fits over the tooth giving it a smooth, polished, beautiful finish.
Many people opt for veneers to improve their smiles for the various advantages including:
- Porcelain veneers are stain resistant.
- Gum tissue tolerates porcelain well.
- Veneers look very natural.
- Veneers whiten smiles.
- Veneers don’t require as much in-depth pre-work to the teeth as crowns.
- Veneers can create what some call a “movie-star smile”
Some of the disadvantages include:
- Veneers can be more costly than bonding.
- Tooth sensitivity may increase, but increase is minimal if at all.
- Like teeth, veneers can chip or crack and so must be taken care of.

My acid reflux wears away my enamel. The worst thing is that my dentin underneath was damaged and my teeth turns yellow or brownish color. Good thing I immediately consulted my cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills about my situation. I'm pleased with the result. Now, my teeth are 4 shades whiter.
