Charleston SC Dentist Veneers – The Benefits of Porcelain for a naturally Beautiful Smile

When teeth are crooked, discolored, chipped or misshapen, the result is that you may hide your smile from others. This in turn can have a negative impact on your personal and professional dealings. Dental veneers are a common cosmetic dentistry procedure in which Charleston SC Dentist Dr. Greenberg may correct issues such as:

• Wear and tear – As we age, teeth will naturally become worn down and thus be at higher risk of chipping, cracking or becoming uneven.
• Worn enamel - Enamel is the hard substance that covers teeth. This can become dulled and discolored over time due to the consumption of foods that contain dye, and drinks like soda, coffee, red wine and tea. Worn enamel is sometimes also the result of genetic predisposition, certain medications and smoking.
• Uneven teeth - Teeth may become uneven from repetitive biting of hard substances or tooth grinding.
• Genetics - Early in life there is the potential that gaps, misshapen teeth or crowding may develop.

A patient may choose from various types of dental veneers at their Charleston SC dental office. Porcelain is one of the most suitable for several reasons; the main one being that this material will result in the most naturally dazzling smile. In general, porcelain is ideal for many dental restorations due to the simple fact that it most closely resembles the appearance of natural enamel. Veneers fabricated from porcelain blend more perfectly with surrounding teeth, making this material ideal when only one or two veneers are needed.

While porcelain displays bright white color, the material is resistant to stains. This resistance allows you to continue to enjoy the foods you love while maintaining regular brushing and flossing without worry of discoloration. Additionally, porcelain refracts light in the same way natural enamel does. This gives the multi-dimensional appearance expected from teeth.

You deserve to have a smile you can feel confident to show. Correcting chips, gaps and discoloration is an effective way to move towards your best smile. To learn more about the types of dental veneers in Charleston SC, schedule a visit with dentist Dr. Andrew Greenberg.
