If you have issues with the shade and shape of your teeth, don’t assume multiple procedures and visits will be necessary to improve your smile. With porcelain veneers, we offer our patients in Woodland Hills, CA, a smile transformation. Let’s look at how we create and place these lifelike restorations.
Frequently Asked Questions About Porcelain Veneers
Question: What cosmetic issues will veneers address?
Answer: Since they cover the front and sides of the teeth, we use them to mask permanent teeth stains, lengthen worn down teeth, or fill the gaps between the teeth. We also place them to correct the appearance of minor misalignment and address issues with the shape of the teeth.
Question: How do you create them?
Answer: We first need to make room for them, which we do by removing the thin layer of tooth enamel. We then take detailed impressions, which we use to design and create them in a dental lab. Each one will be custom-made to ensure a proper fit and a lifelike appearance. We use porcelain to create them because the material is durable and mimics the translucent appearance of natural tooth enamel. We also shade them to match your surrounding teeth.
Question: What does placement involve?
Answer: We place the completed restoration using a powerful bonding agent, just as we would with a dental crown. The new restoration will be held firmly in place and with proper care and attention, lasting for many years to come.
Question: How do I keep them bright?
Answer: You need to brush your teeth daily and floss each night before bed. We also suggest having your teeth cleaned every six months. If you have any questions about our lifelike restorations, or about maintaining your new restorations, then contact our team today.
