The History of Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n

Getting a \u201cmovie-star smile\u201d was never that easy to accomplish, but it did serve the stars that played on the big screen. In the beginning, many actors and actresses would attach temporary veneers to their teeth for a show or filming. These were made of acrylic and didn\u2019t last long at all, becoming easily damaged. Plus, they looked extremely white and nonrealistic.<\/p>\n

However, improvements were eventually made. Porcelain was first used in the 18th century, but dentists found that the material would often shrink and cause further problems because a patient\u2019s restorations wouldn\u2019t fit well.<\/p>\n

These days, veneers are able to give just about everyone the smile of their dreams.<\/p>\n
