Porcelain veneers offered by Seattle cosmetic dentists are a distinct improvement over the veneers that were widely used just a few years ago. In the past, veneers were very susceptible to chipping and cracking. While porcelain veneers may still chip or crack--just as natural teeth can--they are up to three times stronger than old-fashioned veneers.
Another problem that used to plague those who had chosen veneers was staining. Some dental bonding materials tend to discolor easily, especially when used by those with a penchant for tea, coffee, red wine and cigarettes. This sort of discoloration is not an issue with porcelain. Porcelain is a ceramic, and as such, it has qualities that are very similar to glass. Just like glass, porcelain veneers are very resistant to staining.
There are different kinds of porcelain veneers out there, and to get the best results, you'll want to choose a Seattle dentist who has expertise in the products that reflect the latest developments in the area.
