Veneers

Porcelain tooth veneers are a very modern solution to a wide number of cosmetic dental issues for patients today, and the popularity around these amazingly useful tools for aesthetic enhancement has been steadily increasing over recent years. Veneers are extremely thin sheets of porcelain that cover the surface area of the tooth, allowing for a more visually appealing and durable enhancement to any chipped, unshapely, discolored, or otherwise out-of-place teeth within the mouth. These cosmetic wonders can greatly impact an individual’s smile, boosting self-confidence and prolonging the lifespan of any weakened or worn down natural teeth by protecting them like a beautiful shield of armor. The long-term benefits of porcelain tooth veneers can prevent more problematic issues for damaged teeth in the future as well, helping to avoid the eventual possibility of tooth decay and dental extractions due to exposure of weakened areas. There are countless ways that teeth veneers in Long Beach can impact your smile in a monumental way, so don’t hesitate to take this wonderful opportunity for your dental health. Give us a call if you have any questions or concerns regarding porcelain tooth veneers, our friendly office staff is always happy to help.

Obtaining porcelain tooth veneers in Long Beach can be done easily at our dental practice, involving a process that can upgrade your smile in as little as two visits. The very first appointment will involve a general exam and assessment of the affected tooth or teeth that will need treatment. This is to ensure that no prior dental work is required before moving forward with the process. At this time, or in a follow-up appointment after the evaluation, the dentist will begin the veneer procedure by gently reshaping the tooth to ensure that the final outcome will fit perfectly. A very thin layer of the enamel is shaved down and sized to allow the tooth veneer to be permanently bonded to the surface with accuracy, allowing for the final result to feel comfortable and natural within the mouth. A dental impression will be taken after this process in order to provide us with a detailed mold of your mouth. This will be used in creating your custom veneer between appointments, including the proper colorization in direct comparison to surrounding teeth. Once the veneer is completed, the dentist will have you return to the office for the application process. We will take this time to ensure that your porcelain veneer fits perfectly and without any discomfort, checking to make sure that your bite is accurate and no crowding will occur. Finally, the veneer will be permanently bonded to the remaining tooth quickly and easily using an ultraviolet light that will harden the final product in a matter of seconds.
