If you\u2019ve ever wondered how porcelain veneers<\/a> got their start, their history is actually pretty fascinating! While some prosthetics like dentures and dental implants took centuries to perfect, the whirlwind tale of veneers is a bit different. Here\u2019s their origin story, and how they\u2019ve improved since their inception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Star is Born<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, porcelain veneers got their start in Hollywood, just like so many talents of the stage and screen. They were developed by a local dentist named Charles Pincus, who with the help of the brothers behind Max Factor cosmetics, formulated a mixture of porcelain and powdered plastic that was molded into toothlike caps that fit over the teeth of their celebrity clients. The caps lasted about ten days, but they worked well enough and long enough to appear in the mouths of stars like Judy Garland and Bob Hope during filming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advances in Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By the 1950s, Dr. Michael Bunocore had created an etching process that created excellent bonding results for restorations and sealants. Etching is an acidic solution that is used to open the natural pores of tooth enamel and create a better surface for dental cement to bond to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1980s, R.J. Simonsen and J.R. Calamia found a way to combine the benefits of etching with the cosmetic features of veneers, and in 1982, veneers became a practical cosmetic dentistry solution for all patients, famous or not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, over 40 years later, veneers have continued to improve. They are now a safe, durable cosmetic option to correct damaged, worn, or discolored teeth. They can even fix minor spacing issues, and with proper maintenance, they can last up to 25 years or longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To care for your veneers, simply brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste, floss once a day, and visit your dentist twice a year for your regular, biannual exams and cleanings. Veneers are not only beautiful, they\u2019re also durable and even resist stains, so that stunning white smile will last for years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
