Most people who don\u2019t have the nicest of smiles tend to cover their teeth when they talk or flat-out refuse to smile. Your teeth are a terrible thing to waste, especially when you consider how often others see them. Anytime you open your mouth to speak, eat, yawn, sneeze or burp (sorry, but it\u2019s true), your teeth are on display. Anything less than a beautiful smile can leave your self-confidence reeling. If you thought celebrities were the only ones who could attain beautiful smiles through the use of porcelain veneers, think again! Though porcelain veneers can freshen up your smile in a major way, there are some cons associated with this procedure. Our Putnam, CT office wants you to know the advantages and disadvantages of porcelain veneers so you can be armed with the appropriate information before choosing your treatment. For dental veneers, Putnam residents put their trust in our team to deliver quality results.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h3>Porcelain Veneers: The Good<\/h3>\r\nFirst off, it\u2019s obvious that porcelain veneers help improve a smile\u2019s appearance. Cracked or stained teeth can be covered up by porcelain veneers to the point where you won\u2019t even remember how bad those infected teeth looked. The advantages don\u2019t stop there:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>You\u2019re free to choose the shade that fits your mouth best<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Porcelain veneers resist stains like none other<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Longevity \u2013 they can last upwards of 20 years<\/li>\r\n\t<li>They\u2019re so easy to shape it\u2019s not even funny<\/li>\r\n\t<li>You\u2019ll see results ASAP<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Porcelain veneers can address multiple dental issues all at once<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Simple maintenance<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAs you can see, there are plenty of reasons to love porcelain veneers. They make your smile look good, they can attack multiple problems at the same time and they\u2019re easy to preserve.\r\n\r\nWhy, then, would anyone not opt for porcelain veneer treatment? The answers may surprise you.\r\n<h3>Porcelain Veneers: The Bad<\/h3>\r\nHow could there possibly be any cons to porcelain veneers? Well, there are, unfortunately. Take a look below:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Just because they\u2019re right for you, doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re right for everyone else<\/li>\r\n\t<li>They\u2019re pricey<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Extreme fragility puts them in danger of fracturing easily<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Sensitive teeth become a major problem<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Porcelain veneers are permanent \u2013 once they\u2019re in there, they stay put<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Trauma risks are increased<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nFor as much as there is good, there\u2019s just as much bad associated with porcelain veneers. Deciding whether or not porcelain veneers are applicable for your dental situation will be up to Drs. Carolyn and Walter McGinn.\r\n<h3>Thinking of Porcelain Veneer Treatment?
