Cosmetic Benefits of Veneers

A popular cosmetic dentistry procedure, porcelain veneers can improve your smile by concealing certain cosmetic dental flaws.

2012-06-22

LAS VEGAS, NV, June 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) A popular cosmetic dentistry procedure, porcelain veneers can improve your smile by concealing certain cosmetic dental flaws. If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your smile, your cosmetic dentist can determine whether you can benefit from veneers.

Veneers offer many cosmetic benefits. Veneers are generally not a treatment for tooth or bite misalignment, which may require traditional braces. If your desired areas of smile improvement are cosmetic in nature, veneers offer an effective and convenient way to create the smile you have always wanted.

Issues Improved with Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers address many cosmetic dental problems, including:

- Crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Uneven tooth length
- Uneven tooth size
- Misshapen teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Worn teeth
- Yellow teeth

Porcelain veneers improve these problems by concealing them. The veneer is a thin, tooth-shaped piece of porcelain placed over the front surface of your tooth. The veneer creates a new visible portion of the tooth, restoring an appealing tooth shape and structure.

A major advantage of porcelain veneers is that the procedure is completed over a few dental appointments. While orthodontics can take years, veneers provide results quickly, which is a priority for many cosmetic dentistry patients.

The majority of time required for the procedure takes place when your veneers are being fabricated. Beforehand, your cosmetic dentist will remove a small amount of enamel from your tooth (this creates a rough surface the veneer will adhere to). Then, he or she will make an impression of your tooth. The impression will be sent to the lab your dentist uses to fabricate veneers, and the veneer will be custom-made for your tooth.

Porcelain Veneers Candidacy

If you have one of the above cosmetic dental problems, you are most likely a candidate for porcelain veneers. In some cases, people benefit more from orthodontic treatment or dental restorations.

If your teeth are severely crooked and your bite is misaligned, you may need braces or Invisalign. Although porcelain veneers can improve the appearance of a crooked tooth, they cannot provide the movement that orthodontics do.

If you have a tooth that is mildly worn or chipped, porcelain veneers are a good way to rebuild the tooth. If the tooth wear is severe and has deteriorated a significant portion of the tooth, a tooth crown may be required to restore function and structure.

NASA sees Chris become first hurricane of Atlantic season

2012-06-22

NASA satellites monitoring the life of Chris in the Atlantic saw the tropical storm become the first hurricane of the Atlantic Ocean season on June 21, 2012. Infrared satellite imagery from NASA's Aqua satellite have revealed that the clouds around Hurricane Chris' eye have reached a cold peak early on June 21 when it was first designated a hurricane, and have since warmed. The thunderstorms that surround Chris' eye are now between -60 and -70 Celsius. Cloud top temperatures that cold indicate strong, high, thunderstorms with the potential for heavy rainfall. When thunderstorm ...

Job Search Difficult for Ex-Offenders

2012-06-22

It's generally against the law for most employers to discriminate against job applicants on the basis of race and national origin, among other characteristics. But these same employers routinely refuse to even consider hiring someone with a criminal record. The applicant with a record goes to the bottom of the pile - or doesn't get into the pile at all. And it often doesn't matter the type of conviction. Employers don't necessarily evaluate the difference between being convicted for a traffic offense like DUI versus a violent crime like first-degree murder. In other ...

Do New "Anti-Strangulation" Laws Go Too Far With Too Little Evidence?

2012-06-22

Domestic violence is a scourge that affects an estimated 1.3 million Americans every year. Yet, while domestic violence is certainly a serious problem, outrage surrounding the issue may cloud public discourse; it can be easily forgotten that alleged perpetrators are innocent until proven guilty, with all the rights due anyone accused of wrongdoing. In Florida and other states, "anti-strangulation" laws have been introduced in order to combat what is seen as a relatively common and particularly harmful form of partner abuse. While the intentions behind these ...

NASA eyeing southern Gulf of Mexico low for tropical trouble

2012-06-22

NASA satellites are providing data on a broad area of low pressure in the south-central Gulf of Mexico that has a medium chance for development into a tropical depression. Infrared data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument that flies onboard NASA's Aqua satellite is helping forecasters at the National Hurricane Center understand what's happening with the low pressure area. In an image captured on June 21 at 0729 (3:29 a.m. EDT), the center of the low pressure area appears to be near the western tip of Cuba near 22 North and 85 West. The strongest thunderstorms ...

Credit-Card Debt and Debtor's Rights

2012-06-22

For big-ticket purchases or shopping on the Internet -- and even smaller purchases made on quick runs to the store or filling up the gas tank -- credit cards are convenient. Carrying cash to make these purchases is often not feasible. Along with the convenience, there are other benefits of using credit cards, such as the ability to pay off purchases over time or receiving rewards for using the card (like airline miles or cash back). Yet, the same convenience and benefits offered by credit cards can also be the things that get consumers in financial trouble. Credit-Card ...

Federal Government Proposes Hydraulic Fracturing Regulations

2012-06-22

The Obama administration has proposed regulations which would require companies that drill oil and natural gas using hydraulic fracturing on public and Indian lands to disclose the chemicals used in the process. The proposal would also set guidelines for wastewater disposal and well construction. Though hydraulic fracturing has been a boon for drilling companies, the practice has had a questionable impact on drilling sites' surrounding residents and the environment, in part due to the hazardous chemicals used in the process. What is Hydraulic Fracturing? Hydraulic ...

North Carolina's Dram Shop Law: Liability for Serving Drunk Drivers

2012-06-22

When a person is injured or killed in an accident with a drunk driver, the drunk driver's car insurance policy and other coverage or assets are almost always insufficient to pay the full amount of damages. A car accident lawyer can explain how in some cases in North Carolina, a personal injury victim or the estate of someone wrongfully killed may be able to seek compensation from the store, bar or restaurant that provided alcohol to the intoxicated driver. North Carolina law regarding the regulation of liquor sales allows an injured person to sue stores, bars, restaurants ...

NASA sees Tropical Depression Talim becoming disorganized

2012-06-22

Tropical Storm Talim has weakened overnight due to stronger wind shear and land interaction and is now a depression. NASA satellite data from June 21 revealed that the thunderstorms that make up the tropical cyclone are scattered and disorganized. NASA's Aqua satellite Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument captured an infrared image of Tropical Depression Talim on June 21 at 3:29 a.m. EDT. The imagery showed several areas of strong thunderstorms, but they're now scattered in nature as a result of the two factors. As Talim moved over Taiwan and interacted with ...

I-502: The Road to Recreational Marijuana Use in Washington?

2012-06-22

In November of 2012, Americans will take to the polls to decide elections for national and state offices, and Washingtonians will also determine if the state will legalize and regulate the recreational use of marijuana through Initiative 502. The initiative would make it legal for people 21-years-old and up to possess up to one ounce of marijuana bought from state-licensed stores. Like alcohol, the state Liquor Control Board would regulate the sale of marijuana. I-502 is receiving a broad range of support, including from several current and former government employees. ...
