Akron Porcelain Veneers

A porcelain veneer is like a partial crown. Dental crowns surround the entire tooth to help protect it from biting forces and to help restore the tooth's shape and function. If a front tooth has a chip or crack that is too large for a bonded filling, but too small for an entire crown, porcelain veneers are a great fit.

Porcelain veneers can also be used to make minor changes in the alignment of front teeth for adults who do not want to go through orthodontics/braces. They can be shaped to form the illusion of nice, straight teeth. This simple dental makeover can cause a big difference in the way your smile looks and feels.

People that have tetracycline or fluoride staining can also have a new smile makeover from procelain veneers which block out dark and discolored tooth structure.

Although they are thin, porcelain veneers ar much stronger than composite bonding. However, they can chip and crack from trauma to the face or by prolonged biting of hard foods. If they crack or chip, they need to be replaced as repair of porcelain is too difficult.
