Have you ever been ashamed or self-conscious about your teeth? Maybe you’re trying to hide crooked, chipped or yellowed teeth behind a tight-lipped smile. Perhaps your gaps in your teeth are so visible that it’s all you can think about when you meet someone new.

Consider dental veneers instead of enduring another embarrassing discussion by trying to hide your teeth. It’s just what your mouth has been craving. Porcelain veneers are a simple and quick way to achieve a dazzling Hollywood smile. They are tiny porcelain pieces that stick to the front of your existing teeth, camouflaging them and giving your mouth an immediate makeover.

Remember that you can contact California Dental Group at (800) 407-0161 to make an appointment at whichever of our offices is most convenient to you.

What are they?

Porcelain veneers are made of a ceramic substance that resembles the material used to make antique China teacups. They are baked in a hot oven until they become like glass. Dental veneers are designed to closely resemble the color, translucency, and reflection of genuine teeth. In fact, most people cannot tell that their close friends or family members have veneers on their teeth unless they knew what their teeth looked like beforehand, or they were told.

What is the methodology?

If you’re interested in porcelain veneers, it’s a good idea to meet with your dentist and discuss the options. By examining your teeth, the dentist will be able to get a better idea if they are a good fit for your mouth and smile. A little room generally needs to be made in the mouth for veneers. This is simply performed by removing around half a millimeter of dental enamel. After that, the dentist will order your veneers just for you. You may get a new, stunning smile in as little as two dentist treatments.

How long are they going to last?

Porcelain veneers can last up to 20 years in most cases. They are designed to be exceedingly durable, yet they can shatter when subjected to excessive force or shock. To extend the life of your veneers, avoid opening bottles, cracking tough nuts or chomping into a hard candy apple.

How do I care for veneers?

Following the placement of porcelain veneers, it’s critical to maintain daily oral hygiene routines such as brushing and flossing, as well as frequent dental appointments. Veneers do not deteriorate any quicker than natural teeth, but they must be maintained to appear their best.
