Durability of Porcelain Veneers (Porcelain Veneers Dentist Calgary)

Because of their name, many people assume porcelain veneers are fragile, like china plates or figurines. However, porcelain doesn’t describe what the veneers are actually made of, but refers to the white colour of the ceramic.

Unlike dishware and baubles, porcelain veneers are made of ceramic composite. Combined with a special hard plastic material, the veneers are created using high heat and intense pressure to ensure they are free of tiny voids and uneven composition that can cause premature failure.

Is the Porcelain Veneer Placement Process Painful?

Dental veneers can quickly and effectively offer a great solution for correcting crooked, chipped, or stained teeth. Even though veneers offer all of these benefits, they also are a low-pain procedure. Dr. Gordon Chee utilizes a local anesthetic, so patient comfort levels are high. A degree of tooth sensitivity can occur, but this discomfort is only temporary. Generally, only low pain levels exist for this confidence-generating and life-altering dental procedure.
