The benefits of dental veneers
Dental veneers can correct most every aesthetic concern you have about your teeth. Cosmetic dentists often utilize dental veneers because of their appearance, ease, and versatility. If you want a smile that’s straight, white, and natural looking, talk to your dentist about veneers.
Many dental veneers are made from porcelain. Porcelain veneers are favored because of their incredibly natural appearance. Porcelain veneers are translucent, meaning that light permeates the surface rather than just bouncing off of it. After penetrating the porcelain shell, the light reflects off of the hard, opaque cement underneath. The reflection comes from the inside of your tooth, giving it the luminous quality of the surrounding natural teeth.
By its very nature, porcelain is resistant to stains. You can get an idea of its stain resistance by thinking of porcelain china. The delicate cups do not yellow despite years of holding tea and coffee. Though not 100% stain-proof, porcelain veneers will retain their color when properly cared for.
Another benefit of dental veneers is that they are created to match your natural tooth in terms of shape, size, and color. Porcelain veneers are made from a mold taken of your tooth. Then, your doctor helps you select a color that matches and complements your natural teeth. Your veneer is created to these exact specifications. That way, your veneer will not stand out from your surrounding teeth in any way.
Veneers can improve both the appearance and the strength of your teeth. For a tooth with minimal to moderate damage, such as worn enamel, dental veneers are a less invasive alternative to crowns or implants. Your weakened tooth will be reinforced, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods pain-free.
Certain cosmetic dentistry techniques can require significant reshaping of your tooth or even extraction. In comparison, applying dental veneers takes little prep work. A small amount of enamel must be removed from the front of your teeth, but not every patient will require reshaping.
Additionally, the entire procedure is relatively quick. Applying porcelain veneers requires two separate appointments, each lasting only about an hour and a half.
Getting veneers put on your teeth involves minimal pain and discomfort. Unlike other dental procedures, there is no recovery period and virtually no side effects. The only discomfort you’re likely to experience is some sensitivity to cold and heat in the tooth that received the veneer.
Porcelain veneers are extremely versatile. Veneers can be used to correct almost any imperfections in your teeth or smile. For instance, crooked teeth or teeth spaced too far apart can often be corrected with veneers, eliminating the need for braces. You’ll see results instantaneously rather than waiting years. A discolored tooth can be corrected with a veneer instead of whitening.
Veneers are easy to care for. To maintain them, all you need to do is practice good oral hygiene. You’ll follow your regular daily routine of brushing and flossing, and be sure to schedule regular check-ups and cleanings.
Whatever it is that you’d like to change about your smile, dental veneers are quite possibly your best option. The process is simple, and the results are amazing

Northeast Philadelphia Dentist Now Offering 6 Months Smiles
Virtually invisible braces straighten teeth more quickly than traditional braces; Northeast Philadelphia dentist, Dr. Leonard Tau of the Pennsylvania Center For Dental Excellence now offers another option for smile correction.
Philadelphia-area adults and older teenagers looking to straighten their teeth can now get the smile they have always wanted – in just six months – through a cosmetic-braces procedure available from Dr. Leonard Tau. Dr. Tau is one of only a handful of dentist in Philadelphia who offers this service.
Dr. Tau, completed his training in Six Month Smiles, founded by Dr. Ryan Swain, DMD. The six-month braces technique, designed specifically for adults and teenagers over 15, who have crooked, crowded or spaced teeth – without major bite issues. It will also benefit those who wore braces as teenagers, but failed to wear their retainers, or found that their smiles aren’t as straight now, as they were when the braces came off.
The technique offers tremendous advantages over traditional metal braces.
Unlike the traditional braces people must wear for two to four years, this procedure straightens teeth in an average of just six months and uses low force to move teeth more comfortably.
Six-month braces employ clear braces and tooth-colored, nickel-titanium wires – making them virtually invisible.
The procedure requires fewer dentist visits and is typically less expensive than traditional braces.
In addition, the six-month braces technique can result in healthier gums, since straight teeth are easier to clean than crooked teeth. Patients do not realized how difficult it is to clean teeth especially in the front that are crowded together.
“For the first time in Philadephia, the word ‘braces’ no longer has to strike fear among adults and older teens who want to straighten their teeth,” said Dr. Leonard Tau, a graduate of Six Month Smiles & Cosmetic Dentistry. “They can now get the radiant smile they’ve always dreamed of, without waiting for years. Six-month braces are virtually invisible, and straighten teeth much more quickly and more comfortably than traditional braces.”
Dr. Tau stresses the medical benefits of proper dental care, which helps fight against tooth wear and gum disease. Healthy teeth also encourage proper nutrition by enabling people to eat a variety of foods, help boost self-esteem and can reduce headaches and joint pain. He encourages people to ask their dentist if the six-month braces technique is a good option for them.
