Revitalize Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are used to cover discolorations and imperfections. These restorations work as the substitution for the crowns on the front teeth. Veneers can aesthetically change your teeth size, shape, and color. Resistant to staining, veneers last for years and are not affected by things like coffee, tea, and cigarettes.
To maintain the thickness of the veneer, we first remove about half a millimeter of natural enamel. Next, your doctor will take a mold of the teeth. These models are sent to a lab where a skilled technician will fabricate your custom veneers and finally, we will bond the veneers to your natural teeth.
Common Questions about Veneers
We have provided some of the major questions and answers to offer deep information about veneers. It will definitely help those who want to improve their image through porcelain veneers. If you want to discuss your problem or options, you can call your dentist and take consultation appointment.
How do veneers work?
Veneers cover the front teeth to remove flaws and provide you a beautiful smile. To give you a beautiful appearance and natural teeth, porcelain veneers are designed to fit the size, color, and shape of the teeth.
What do porcelain veneers cost?
We can not give you an estimation of porcelain veneers cost as each set of veneers is specifically designed for each case. At Flintridge Dental Group, we first discuss your visions and then evaluate your mouth. After evaluating, we create a complete plan for updating and beautify your smile. At that time, we will review the costs and payment options for veneers.
Can I remove the porcelain veneers at a later date?
In custom veneers, we remove a very thin layer of enamel to make prepared your teeth for porcelain veneers treatment, and this helps in permanent restorations. The option of Lumineers allows us the flexibility for returning to the original natural smiles. However, in some cases, the patient needs a consultation and examination for determining the best option as Lumineers do not work in all the cases.
Why can’t I just whiten my teeth instead?
Sometimes, professional teeth bleaching or whitening can brighten your teeth but will not address the issues of gaps, chips, or permanent stains. Veneers literally cover your teeth and give you an attractive smile.
Does it take a long time to get porcelain veneers?
Most of the time, patients complete the whole process in four to six weeks. During the time period, we take an initial exam and impressions for the veneers. Then we return to the final placement.
