Are Veneers Right for You?

February 19, 2017

Are Veneers Right for You?Veneers are an excellent option for many people. Depending on your dental history and the current condition of your dental health, we may recommend veneers to you. Find out more about veneers below and give us a call to schedule a personal consultation at (800) 407-0161.

Why veneers might be right for you

People consider veneers for many reasons. Veneers may be the right choice for you if your teeth have become chipped, uneven, crooked, worn down, or if they have jagged edges. Do your front teeth have gaps between them? Sometimes teeth even appear too large or too small in relation to the size of the mouth, and veneers can be an aesthetically-pleasing solution. Veneers will help. Additionally, if your teeth have become discolored or stained and whitening products don’t lift the stain, veneers may be the ideal solution for you.

A long-term solution

Many people find veneers appealing because they’re very durable. They’re not permanent, but with proper care, they can last for many years. Plus they make your smile really look fantastic!

What are veneers made of?

Veneers are made of either porcelain or laminate. It has a thin layer of porcelain that’s attached to the front of your natural tooth. After being bonded to the tooth, the veneer is specially shaped to hide problems.  It’s also colored to blend in well with the surrounding teeth and look perfectly natural. Porcelain is the ideal choice for veneers because it reflects light in a similar way that natural teeth do. Porcelain veneers look so natural that they can be really hard to detect. Consider enhancing your smile with porcelain veneers from California Dental Group.

Are veneers right for me?

You may be a candidate for veneers, but you might not. Those who need their teeth to be aligned may require orthodontic treatment instead of using veneers. If your teeth have excessive decay, you may not be an ideal candidate for veneers. The only way to know for sure whether veneers are a viable option for you is to schedule a consultation with our dental experts by calling (800) 407-0161. We’ll be happy to examine your mouth, evaluate your dental health, and give you personalized recommendations. We want to make sure you have optimal dental health and enjoy a great smile for your entire life, and we’ll work hard to achieve that during every appointment at California Dental Group.

Other recommendations

Another excellent option, instead of getting a veneer, is to get a porcelain crown, which simulates the natural tooth. The dentist will remove all decay before installing the crown so you won’t have to worry about risking infection. We often recommend getting a crown because they protect your teeth well, they’re specially designed to match your natural teeth, and they’re highly durable.
