Cosmetic Dentistry: Porcelain Veneers and Why They May be a Good Option for You

NORTHAMPTON, EAST LONGMEADOW AND SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS — Did you know that you do not have to undergo cosmetic surgery to change the appearance of your smile? Fortunately there are several nonsurgical options, including porcelain veneers that can produce the same effects as surgical procedures and give you the smile you have always wanted.

Porcelain veneers are thin, ceramic shells that are made according to the shape and size of your teeth. They are tooth-colored, and adhered to the top and front of your teeth using dental adhesive.

“Porcelain veneers are commonly used to improve the appearance of teeth that are broken, misshapen, discolored or misaligned,” said Dr. Lisa Emirzian, a Northampton, MA dentist at EMA Dental who focuses on cosmetic treatments. “They are a good option for patients who desire fast, dramatic results without the use of anesthesia.”

Below are some other reasons why you should consider utilizing porcelain veneers for achieving your dream smile:

1. Because they are tooth-colored, porcelain veneers are natural-looking. No one but you and your dentist will know that you are wearing veneers.
2. Even though porcelain veneers are thin, they are strong. Cracking or chipping is not typical.
3. Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant, so with the proper oral health regimen, your new smile will be just as white several years down the road as it is now.
4. Any space that exists between your teeth can be closed without the need for braces. Because porcelain veneers are tailored to your dental needs, they can be made to bridge gaps.

Experienced dentists in Northampton, MA like Dr. Emirzian can help you select the cosmetic treatment, whether porcelain veneers, implant-retained dentures, tooth whitening or crowns, that best meets your dental needs and desires. They are trained to not only create eye-catching smiles, but also attend to your oral health and other dental needs.
