Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry solutions on the planet with people opting for this permanent solution that repairs, chips, cracks and permanently stained teeth.

Porcelain veneers are thin sheets of dental grade porcelain that fit over the fronts of teeth.

Is Everyone a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

While most patients are good candidates for dental veneers, it’s important to note that people who grind teeth, or have a habit of chewing on ice or pencils may not be suitable. While veneers are strong, they can’t withstand constant pressure.

The Porcelain Veneers Advantage

Porcelain veneers shine just like natural teeth and can last a decade or more as long as you practice good oral hygiene including regular checkups with your Laguna Hills cosmetic dentist.

Keep in mind that porcelain veneers are permanent as a portion of the enamel is removed to make way for the veneer. If you are unsure about porcelain veneers, talk to Saddleback Dentistry about cosmetic dental bonding.

The Porcelain Veneers Process

If you and your dentist in Laguna Hills determine that you are a good fit for veneers, a color will be chosen to match the rest of your smile. Once the hue is picked, a portion of the enamel is removed before a mold or impression is taken of your teeth.

The impression is sent to the lab for your new dental restorations, which will take about two weeks to complete. During this time, you will be fitted with temporary porcelain veneers for unsightly teeth.

Your New Smile with Porcelain Veneers

When your new restorations are ready, your Laguna Hills Cosmetic Dentist will have you come in to check them for fit and color. Once satisfied with the results, your new veneers are permanently cemented into place before they are shined and polished to look like the dazzling star you are.
