You walk into your dentist\u2019s office and ask what cosmetic options are available. Your dentist then starts talking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhillonfamilydental.com\/veneers.html\">porcelain veneers in Ware<\/a> and how they would be a great option for your smile. You look back puzzled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsn\u2019t porcelain fragile?\u201d You ask. Your dentist gets this question often, so she thought she would go into more detail on why she uses a seemingly \u201cfragile\u201d material for covering teeth.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why Do We Think Porcelain is Fragile?<\/h2>\n<p>When people think of porcelain, they usually think of the fragile porcelain plates found in their parents\u2019 or grandparents\u2019 glass cabinets. The thought of walking near them was likely unthinkable as a child, but aside from being dropped from a few feet, even porcelain used in plates was quite sturdy. In fact, porcelain is considered the strongest and most durable dinnerware available. However, it\u2019s important to note that porcelain\u2019s use isn\u2019t only limited to dinnerware.<\/p>\n<p>Porcelain veneers are designed to last for many years and regular use, similar to dinnerware. While they\u2019re not intended to withstand large amounts of direct force, such as a bad fall, it\u2019s entirely useful for everyday use. Natural teeth certainly aren\u2019t either, so when compared to porcelain veneers, you\u2019re actually getting a very strong dental device.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go into a few example where we see porcelain used for sturdy applications.<\/p>\n<h2>Porcelain Is Used for Many Sturdy Products<\/h2>\n<p>Think about all the items and parts of your home that use ceramic or porcelain. One of the most common places you\u2019ll find it is in your bathroom. The floors or walls are lined with porcelain not just for aesthetic appeal, but utility as well.<\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019re in the bathroom, you\u2019ll likely notice that your toilet is made of solid porcelain. One of the main reasons manufacturers haven\u2019t changed their use of porcelain in toilets is there are few materials as strong as porcelain that also perform all the necessary functions a toilet requires. It also does quite a good job at matching the rest of the bathroom. Another good example is ceramic knives. They\u2019re able to withstand daily use for many years without any worry of breaking.<\/p>\n<h2>A Brief Breakdown of Materials Used in Veneers<\/h2>\n<p>Your dentist can say with confidence that porcelain veneers in Ware are just as strong, if not stronger, than natural teeth. Depending on where you go, veneers can be made up of different materials. Let\u2019s go over a few of them now.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Feldspathic porcelain<\/strong> \u2013 One of the first veneer substances ever used, this material was used by most dentists up until the mid-1990s. While many dentists prefer it\u2019s aesthetic qualities, it\u2019s often considered the weakest option today.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zirconium<\/strong> <strong>Dioxide<\/strong> \u2013 A byproduct of zirconium and oxygen, this material creates very strong restorations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lithium Disilicate<\/strong> \u2013 A glass ceramic made up of several different substances, including quartz, alumina, and other components. This can be used to make very strong and life-like veneers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Porcelain is much stronger than you think, which is why it\u2019s become the standard for cosmetic dentistry.
