Veneers Rancho Palos Verdes, CA |
Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry solution that are designed to enhance the appearance of teeth. These ultra thin, custom made shells are crafted with porcelain or composite resin materials, and bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. This provides a natural, polished look. Veneers are a versatile option for patients who want to improve the appearance of their smile. What Are Dental Veneers?Dental veneers are thin laminates designed to cover the visible surfaces of teeth in order to improve their appearance, and function. They are custom crafted to match the shape, size, and color of each patient's natural teeth. This creates a natural and cohesive appearance. Veneers are primarily cosmetic, but they are also applied to strengthen teeth with minor structural issues. Types of Dental VeneersThere are two types of veneers: PorcelainPorcelain veneers are celebrated for their natural appearance and durability. These veneers mimic the translucence of natural enamel, which makes them an excellent choice for patients who want the best possible results. Porcelain is also resistant to stains, which ensures that the veneers maintain their look over time. Composite ResinMany patients choose composite resin because it is more cost effective, and the application is faster. This material is a tooth colored resin that is applied and shaped to cover imperfections. Resin is less durable than porcelain, but composite veneers still provide a significant improvement in the appearance of teeth. Who Can Benefit from Dental Veneers?Dental veneers address a variety of cosmetic concerns. Patients with teeth that are discolored, chipped, or cracked can potentially benefit from veneers. They are also used to close small gaps between the teeth, and to correct minor misalignments. Veneers offer a long lasting solution that restores symmetry and balance for patients with worn or irregularly shaped teeth. The Veneer Application ProcessVeneer application typically begins with an initial consultation. During this appointment, we evaluate the patient's dental health, discuss their goals, and determine if veneers are the best solution for their particular needs. Preparation starts with reshaping the tooth surface where we remove a thin layer of enamel. This step ensures the veneers fit over the teeth properly. Impressions are then taken to create custom veneers tailored to the patient's unique dental structure. Temporary veneers may be placed until the final versions are ready. Once we receive the permanent veneers, we bond them to the teeth. Adjustments are made as needed to ensure a precise fit, and the veneers are polished for a smooth, natural finish. Caring for Dental VeneersDental veneer maintenance requires great oral hygiene. Brushing twice per day, and flossing daily, combined with regular dental checkups and professional cleanings keep veneers in excellent condition. We advise patients to avoid using their teeth as tools, chewing ice, and clenching or grinding teeth to preserve their veneers.

Whether you choose porcelain or composite resin, veneers provide a customized and effective way to address a range of dental imperfections.
