Porcelain Veneers

Berks County, Reading and Wyomissing, Pennsylvania

You see celebrities flash their bright smiles all the time. Do you find yourself wondering how they got them to look that way? You probably suspect they have had some form of cosmetic dental work performed and they have. What you don't realize is that many of them have had porcelain veneers placed and that you could do the same. Dr. Schwartz of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania offers the types of dental veneers that will best suit the needs of his guests.

Porcelain veneers offer a way for Dr. Schwartz to help make your smile look fabulous. There are many types of veneers available for you and your cosmetic dentist to choose from. At Dr. Schwartz's Wyomissing, Pennsylvania practice, his focus is choosing the best veneers to meet the needs of his guests. Empress and feldspathic porcelain veneers offer the best options for his guests to choose from.

Empress veneers are designed using leucite-reinforced, pressed ceramic materials that offer greater durability than earlier porcelain veneers. Empress veneers are also very translucent. This means that they allow the light to pass through them much in the same way as it does through our own natural teeth.

Feldspathic veneers offer Dr. Schwartz the added ability of designing your veneers to not only match the color and shape of your teeth, but also to match the coloration and texture of your teeth. By being able to match the structural and cosmetic properties of your real teeth, Dr. Schwartz is able to offer you an even better and more natural looking smile than ever before.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are extremely thin pieces of strong porcelain that your cosmetic dentist bonds to the fronts of your teeth. Their thickness is sometimes no greater than that of a typical contact lens.

You may be assuming: “Porcelain? That material is as fragile as you can imagine.” This may have been true of the figurines in your grandmother's hutch, but modern porcelain, especially pressed porcelain, is an advanced ceramic with very high strength. And once the porcelain has been bonded to the enamel of a tooth, offers a toughness and durability that can withstand even the forces and pressure of the human jaw.

Combining the durability of porcelain with its ability to mimic the enamel of a human tooth, in color and appearance, makes porcelain veneers the best and most efficient way to cover damaged teeth.

What Can Porcelain Veneers Fix?
Porcelain veneers allow cosmetic dentist Dr. Schwartz to effectively remedy such tooth problems as:

Discoloration and stains
Gaps between teeth
Breaks, chips and cracks
Wear and tear
Misshapen and uneven teeth

There are many decisions to be made when determining not only which dental procedure would be best for you, but also which materials are best suited to meet your needs for use in your chosen procedure. At Dr. Schwartz's dental practice, he focuses on the needs, care and best materials available for each individual guest's procedure.
