Do you want to enhance the appearance of your smile? If you are tired of crooked teeth, chips, or stains, you should consider getting porcelain veneers in Houston & Cypress, TX at Emerald Dental. Dr. Quynh-Lan Nguyen will help you get the beautiful smile you deserve.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin shells that adhere to your teeth. Patients can have a straight smile without wearing braces or aligners for an extensive period. Veneers are versatile as they can help hide stains, crookedness, cracks, and gaps between teeth. It is a quick and convenient way to hide cosmetic imperfections in your teeth.

Veneers can be made from porcelain, composite, or ceramic.

Why Are Porcelain Veneers Better Than Ceramic or Composite?

Composite veneers have the advantage of being cheaper than porcelain veneers. These veneers are also manufactured while you wait and are sculpted directly on your teeth. They're not produced in an outside lab. A disadvantage of composite veneers is that they are porous. In other words, your teeth can get stained even after you get composite veneers.

Ceramic veneers can also be quickly synthesized and don't require altering your natural teeth.

However, when you visit our offices in Houston & Cypress, TX for porcelain veneers, you will get the veneer that is preferred for several reasons. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, so you can enjoy coffee, tea, and wine with ease after getting this treatment. Porcelain is a much stronger material than composite. So these veneers are more durable and last for as long as 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance. Porcelain veneers resemble our natural teeth due to their translucent quality. The material is strong and highly resistant to chipping.

So yes, porcelain veneers are more expensive than others, but they also last a long time.
