Dr. Wayde Fawcett emphasizes the many advantages of porcelain veneers, while also addressing potential limitations to the cosmetic procedure.

Houston, TX – While there are several treatments available for those wishing to enhance the appearance of their smile, porcelain veneers are a highly valuable cosmetic option, explains Dr. Wayde Fawcett, a cosmetic dentist in Houston. He performs the aesthetic solution at Fawcett Center for Dentistry, noting that porcelain veneers are one of the most popular treatments he offers. When patients come to him with the desire to enhance their smile, Dr. Fawcett strives to help them understand what to expect by detailing the benefits and limitations of veneers.

After determining a patient is a good candidate for porcelain veneers, Dr. Fawcett educates them on the many advantages they could potentially experience should they move forward with the procedure. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Treats concerns like discoloration, cracks, and misalignment
• Protects the tooth’s surface due to the durable, porcelain shells
• Offers natural-looking results that blend with the rest of the smile
• Lasts for as long as 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance and care

Dr. Fawcett is pleased to offer his patients the many benefits of porcelain veneers, but he emphasizes they are not right for everyone. He recognizes that limitations of the cosmetic procedure play a role in the decision to undergo the procedure. Since the tooth must be prepared for the veneer, the procedure cannot be reversed. However, with the many advancements in dentistry, Dr. Fawcett says some people may only need little, if any, removal of the tooth’s surface. He also acknowledges the cost of porcelain veneers as a limitation for some people, since insurance typically does not cover the procedure. In response to this, the practice offers different financing options to make it a more affordable solution.

Despite the potential disadvantages that may accompany porcelain veneers, Dr. Fawcett has found the benefits far outweigh any negative aspects. Throughout his more than 30 years of practicing dentistry, he believes porcelain veneers can be an excellent solution for those desiring a more aesthetic smile.
