Cosmetic Dentistry - Walnut Creek, CA

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front of your teeth. They improve the appearance of your teeth and are made of porcelain, composite resin, or both. Veneers can correct gaps between teeth, crooked or misshapen teeth, discoloration or staining that teeth whitening can't fix, and chips or cracks in the teeth. Veneers are durable, long-lasting, and natural-looking, making them a popular smile-improvement option.

Veneers are for individuals who place a high value on their appearance and take pride in a flawless smile.

Veneers can also protect and strengthen damaged teeth, improving oral health and reducing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

• Maybe you've chipped a tooth and are done trying to patch it.
• Maybe your teeth have become discolored, and whitening isn't bringing them back to their original color.
• You may be dissatisfied with the appearance of your smile and seek a permanent straightforward solution.

The process of getting dental veneers typically involves the following steps:

• Consultation: An examination of your teeth and gums will be performed to see if veneers are a good option for you. We will also talk about the costs, benefits, and limitations of each type of veneer.
• Preparation: If you proceed with veneers, a small amount of enamel will be removed from each tooth in preparation. This creates space for the veneers and ensures they fit correctly.
• Impression: An impression of your teeth will be taken. To fabricate your veneers, a mold of your teeth will be made from this impression.
• Bonding: Once the lab creates the veneers, we'll bond the veneers to your teeth and fine-tune the fit.
• Follow-up: Future appointments will be scheduled to ensure the veneers are functioning properly and to make any necessary adjustments after they have been placed.

• Properly done and cared for, porcelain veneers can last 20 years or more.
• Veneers look amazing. Patients are often taken aback by the stunning appearance of their new porcelain veneers.
• Effortless – Veneers require no extra hygiene or additional steps other than caring for your natural teeth.
