Pasadena, Texas Porcelain Veneers:
Dental veneers are responsible for the “Hollywood Smile” and the main technique of Cosmetic Dentistry. Veneers are a thin layer of tooth colored porcelain that is bonded to the front of your teeth. Veneers can correct discoloration, worn teeth, uneven tooth spacing, chips and cracks.
Although dental veneers are a cosmetic dentistry option, they will protect the surface of damaged teeth and may eliminate the need for more extensive treatments. Other benefits of porcelain veneers include strength, an enhanced smile, and the need for minimal removal of tooth structure compared to crowns.

Irrespective of what causes unpleasant teeth, dental veneers can solve your cosmetic dental issues, including:
- Uneven teeth: Uneven teeth can result from tooth grinding or general wear and tear.
- Color: Teeth can be inherently darker
- Worn enamel: The outer layer of the teeth can be lost causing an altered appearance
- Wear and tear: Teeth naturally wear down as people age. Aged teeth are shorter. Therefore, veneers can bring about a mini-facelift as proper tooth length is reestablished.
- Spacing and gaps: For patients who do not want to go through orthodontics, veneers can eliminate spacing and gaps
