The secret to their movie-star\nquality smile and many others is a cosmetic dental procedure called porcelain\nveneers. These have been around since 1928, when Californian dentist Charles\nPincus created them to perfect the smiles of actors about to be on the big\nscreen. Over time, they\u2019ve become more permanent, more natural looking, and more\navailable to everyone. If you have noticeable imperfections in your teeth that\nare keeping you from your fairy-tale smile, porcelain veneers might be for you!\nBut even though they are renowned for creating durable, beautiful, and flawless\nsmiles, are they too good to be true? &nbsp;Learn\nmore about how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">porcelain\nveneers in Oklahoma City<\/a> work and how they can give you a beautiful,\nnatural-looking appearance for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do Porcelain Veneers Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers are wafer thin, yet incredibly strong shells of dental porcelain designed to look like your ideal tooth in size, shape, and color. A small amount of enamel is removed from the front of your tooth to make room for the veneers. Once your tooth has been prepared, the veneer is permanently affixed to the front of it, protecting the tooth underneath and giving you a revitalized smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers are perfect for covering up cosmetic imperfections\nlike stains, chips, cracks, oddly shaped dental structure, and gaps between\nteeth. They offer a more realistic, lifelike solution than dental bonding and\naren\u2019t as invasive as a dental crown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Porcelain Veneers Really Look Natural?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you ever get distracted watching Tom Cruise or Jim Carrey because their teeth look fake? If anything, you might have been stunned by how perfect they look! That\u2019s because porcelain veneers are well-known for how natural they look, thanks to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dental porcelain\u2019s ability to reflect light the\nsame way natural teeth do.<\/li><li>The variety of shades available, so they can\nseamlessly match the rest of your smile.<\/li><li>How well gums and surrounding tissues tolerate\ndental porcelain.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Porcelain Veneers Need Special Care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though they can drastically improve your smile, porcelain veneers don\u2019t require any special care! However, that doesn\u2019t mean you can just stop taking care of your teeth altogether. Cavities and gum disease can both cause difficult and expensive problems for teeth with porcelain veneers. Care for your veneers by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Brushing twice a day for two minutes to reduce the\nrisk of cavities and gum disease.<\/li><li>Avoiding dark-colored foods and drinks that can cause\ndiscoloration around your stain-resistant veneers.<\/li><li>Seeing your dentist regularly to catch any\nissues as early as possible<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once upon a time, flawless smiles were only found in\nHollywood. These days, anyone can have a beautiful, natural-looking grin with\nporcelain veneers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>At Dental Expression in Oklahoma City, OK, we are dedicated\nto your comfort and safety while helping you achieve a happy, healthy smile.
