A charming and bright smile is your most important asset. A confident and warm smile can make people instantly like you and easily open up to you. Sometimes a person might be unhappy and self-conscious about their smile due to uneven teeth, stained teeth, missing teeth and teeth with disproportionate shapes can cause a person to lose confidence in their smile. Teeth also are chipped due to accidents or wear down over the years resulting in a smile that isn’t appealing. These things can make a person feel embarrassed of their smile and avoid smiling at a good joke or being introduced to somebody. In Orange County porcelain veneers are used by many dentists to address this issue and they are producing remarkable results.

A veneer is a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface, to make it look better or to protect a damaged or eroding tooth surface. Composite and dental porcelain are the two main types of materials used to fabricate a veneer. Porcelain veneers are more durable and less likely to stain than veneers made of composite as they are highly resistant to staining from tea, coffee or even smoking. Porcelain veneers may be brushed, flossed and treated just like natural teeth and you would not even realize that they are in your mouth. Another advantage that porcelain veneers have is that they have an undetectably natural appearance.
