Porcelain Veneers: Transforming Smiles Naturally
Your smile should be one of your best features. Yet, many struggle with unsightly smiles due to stained, damaged, or crooked teeth. At Dynamic Dental, we can dramatically transform your smile’s appearance with porcelain veneers. Dr. Ricardo Andrade is your go-to porcelain veneer dentist for residents of Sacramento, California. Here’s what you should know about this treatment.
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin, porcelain overlays that can be fitted over imperfect teeth to alter their appearance. Veneers conceal dental flaws that detract from your smile to reveal its hidden beauty.
What imperfections can veneers correct?
Dr. Andrade can use veneers to close gaps between teeth, whiten stained teeth, conceal damaged teeth, make crooked teeth appear straighter, and alter the size or shape of malformed teeth to make them appear more uniform and even. With veneers, your smile can become one of your most attractive features.
What’s the process of getting veneers?
Getting veneers isn’t difficult, but it does require several dental visits. Dr. Andrade will evaluate your oral health to confirm your teeth are healthy enough for veneers. Then, we’ll assess the problems you want to correct, determine how many veneers you need, and prep your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel to make room for the veneers. Afterward, impressions of your prepped teeth are taken and sent to a lab where veneers are created. We’ll place temporary veneers on your teeth during this interim period. As soon as your porcelain restorations are ready, we’ll permanently bond them to your teeth, completing your treatment.
Before and After Actual Patient Results
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Over time, your restorations will wear down and need to be replaced. With good oral care, however, porcelain veneers can stay strong and beautiful for ten or more years.
Is the veneer process painful?
No, getting veneers isn’t painful. If you have sensitive teeth, however, we can numb your mouth during the procedure to ensure a comfortable, pain-free treatment.
What are the advantages of porcelain veneers over other cosmetic treatments?
A veneer smile makeover can correct multiple tooth flaws in one dental treatment, saving you time and money in improving your smile’s aesthetics. Dr. Andrade will place veneers on your existing teeth after minor modification. The process is quick, easy, and non-invasive. There’s no need for major prep work or surgery. Porcelain veneers are quite resilient. When used to cover damaged teeth, veneers will protect your pearly whites from chipping and cracking in the future. Porcelain restorations are also stain-resistant, allowing you to enjoy your coffee, tea, and red wine – in moderation!
