Will My New Veneers Look Fake?

One of the things people considering veneers struggle with is whether their new smile will look unmistakably fake. There is a clear distinction between a beautiful natural-looking smile and something that looks paid for and inauthentic, and people generally prefer the former. So, will veneers look fake?

FAQs

Like any elective or cosmetic procedure, people spend a considerable amount of time weighing their options before deciding if that thing is right for them. Veneers are no different. Some popular questions asked include:

• What will I look like with veneers? 
• Would they look big and flashy, unnaturally white, or fake? 
• Can they look natural? 

Patients who come in for consultations ask these questions all the time. Different shades, sizes, and options are available for mouths of all types, so talk to Dr. Wallace about your goals.

What Problems Do They Solve?

Porcelain veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic dentistry procedures in practice because they affect multiple smile features at once. In addition to being the most sought after restorative, cosmetic option for teeth, veneers can solve combinations of the following issues:

• Discoloration
• Chips
• Teeth size
• Unattractive shapes
• Crookedness

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a thin layer of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of teeth. One of the major drawbacks to relying on organic enamel is its proclivity to the dying qualities of coffee, tea, and wine. For comparison, these ultra-thin layers are virtually undetectable and highly stain-resistant. Veneers are also incredibly strong due to the nature of porcelain as long as they are properly cared for.
