Cosmetic Veneers, A Minimally Invasive Treatment that Produces Beautiful Results

A captivating smile is everyone’s dream. Yet many fall short due to discolored, damaged, or malformed teeth. Cosmetic dentistry offers a solution to many of the tooth flaws that keep your smile hidden. Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment that can work wonders on your smile! When bonded to your teeth, veneers can transform your defective smile into one of perfection and beauty. These FAQs from Glendale Dental Wellness, located in Glendale, California, explain more about the attributes, process, and appeal of cosmetic porcelain veneers. 

What are cosmetic veneers?

Veneers are wafer-thin, porcelain shells that Dr. Chan can bond to the surface of defective teeth to enhance their appearance. These shells are custom-crafted for every tooth you want to correct to collectively boost your smile’s esthetics. Your veneers will mimic your natural teeth in size, shape, and color to blend seamlessly with your smile.

What tooth flaws can cosmetic veneers correct? 

Veneers can:

• make stains and discolorations disappear to brighten your smile.
• close gaps between teeth.
• lengthen short teeth or broaden thin teeth to give your smile a uniform appearance.
• straighten slightly misaligned teeth. 
• conceal chips and cracks in your teeth to improve their esthetics. 

What is the process for dental veneers?

Dr. Chan will start with a consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate for veneers. We’ll evaluate your teeth, gums, and jaw to ensure they’re healthy enough for cosmetic treatment. If so, we’ll prepare your teeth for your procedure. Veneer prep entails removing a thin layer of enamel from the teeth you want to fix so your veneers will fit naturally on your tooth surface. Next, we’ll make a mold of your teeth to send to a lab where veneers are fabricated. This mold shows the exact measurements of your veneers to ensure a precise fit. Fabricating veneers can take up to two weeks. When your veneers are ready, we’ll place them on your teeth, make any alterations, if needed, and cement them in place permanently. Your entire treatment can be completed in 2-3 dental visits.

What are some of the advantages of getting veneers?

This minimally invasive treatment can give you dazzling results in as little as 2-3 dental visits! Porcelain veneers look every bit as natural as your natural teeth. Your pearly whites will have a natural, unblemished, brilliant appearance. Porcelain veneers are strong and resilient and can help protect your teeth from chips and cracks in the future. They’re also stain-resistant and will retain their beauty for years.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

With good maintenance and care (thorough brushing and flossing and biannual cleanings), porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years before needing an upgrade, making them well worth the investment.
