WASHINGTON, DC, February 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) If you have one - or even several - cosmetic dental issues, your cosmetic dentist may suggest porcelain veneers. This durable cosmetic treatment conceals visible imperfections of your teeth, letting you create a stunning, flawless smile.
The only way to know if veneers are right for you is to consult a cosmetic dentist. Certain aesthetic imperfections of the teeth may have underlying causes that require treatment. Severe decay or significant structural wear and damage may require treatment before veneers will be an option for you.
Cosmetic Dental Problems Improved with Veneers
Porcelain veneers can improve a wide range of cosmetic dental issues, including:
- Chipped teeth
- Stained teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Worn teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Unevenly sized teeth
- Uneven tooth length
- Crooked teeth
When these imperfections are cosmetic only, and do not significantly affect the function or health of your teeth, porcelain veneers may be suggested by your cosmetic dentist.
Porcelain veneers look like thin shells of luminescent, tooth-colored material. Prior to bonding the veneer to your tooth, your cosmetic dentist will abrade the tooth enamel to make a rougher surface for adhesion. This portion of the procedure is generally painless.
Veneers improve cosmetic imperfections by concealing them. The veneer is placed over your tooth, creating a flawless new surface. Typically, veneers last a decade or longer. Veneers also have light-reflecting properties similar to your teeth, so your smile will retain a natural luster and beauty.
Process for Porcelain Veneers
During a consultation with your cosmetic dentist, you will learn more about what to expect from the process.
A primary advantage of this type of cosmetic dentistry is its efficiency. Porcelain veneers improve the appearance of your smile in just a few dental appointments.
Every cosmetic dentist will have his or her own scheduling demands and veneers process, but generally you can expect:
- A consultation with your cosmetic dentist to determine your candidacy for veneers.
- A dental appointment to prepare your tooth - or teeth - to receive the veneer.
- A dental appointment to bond the veneer to your tooth.
Although these phases may differ slightly by dentist, you can expect the above appointments to be the major steps in the porcelain veneers process. In addition to other guidance from your cosmetic dentist, you should care for your veneered teeth just as you do your other teeth: brush at least twice a day, and floss once a day.

Court Says Employer Is Liable for Injury Caused by Employee's Vehicle
2012-02-29
In many legal actions, employers are held liable for the conduct of their employees. Employers are seen as directing the actions of their employees, and are thus required to share in the bad, not just the good, consequences of those actions.
However, employers are not responsible for all actions of their workers; rather, they are liable only for actions taken within the scope of employment. Actions within the scope of employment usually include those undertaken in the course of performing job duties with at least partial intent to further the employer's business.
Typically, ...
Distracted Driving Law Proposed in Arizona
2012-02-29
Arizona has recently proposed a bill that would ban texting while driving.

Even if the bill becomes law, it may still not prevent distracted driving from happening. Law enforcement officers may have difficulty ...
