It’s amazing what a thin piece of porcelain can do. Porcelain veneers from the San Diego Dentist Association member of your choice create beautiful smiles. Custom-made in a dental lab to precisely fit your teeth, veneers cover previous damage, restoration work and signs of aging on teeth for beauty that will last for years.
Veneers are among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because they’re strong, durable and long-lasting. While they may not last forever, they’re easily replaced when necessary – with no numbing and very little time in the chair. There is no easier or quicker path to dramatic results.
You may want to consider porcelain veneers as a cosmetic solution to:
- Stained or yellowed teeth
- Crooked or misshapen teeth
- Oddly sized teeth
- Worn or chipped teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- And more.
What Does Getting Porcelain Veneers Involve?
Getting dental veneers requires just two appointments with your SDDA dentist and no anesthetic. At the first appointment, your teeth are prepared for the veneers with any shaping, sculpting or buffing that’s necessary for a good fit. Then, an impression is taken from which the veneers are custom-made in a laboratory. The dentist will also help you decide what color is best.
At the second appointment, a special liquid is used on your teeth to prepare them for attachment of the veneers. As the pieces are fitted, adjustments can be made as needed. A special light is used to aid in bonding the cosmetic additions to your natural teeth, then the process is complete. You can go home immediately. The dentist will explain how to care for the veneers, including regular brushing, flossing and dental visits.
