Porcelain Veneers

The next time you walk down the street in Menifee, Murrieta, Beaumont, or Perris, or stroll through a shop in Hemet, CA, notice some of the most appealing smiles around you. There is a good chance that they had a little help from a cosmetic dentistry treatment called porcelain veneers.

Versatile dental veneers

Veneers are thin restorations made of tooth colored porcelain. They are sometimes called dental laminates because they are bonded to the front surfaces of highly visible teeth.

Veneers give your smile a brighter, more uniform appearance. Here are some of the ways they are used:

• To make crooked teeth or crowded teeth look straight (without braces)
• To make gapped teeth less noticeable, and help the entire smile look more evenly spaced
• As a fractured or chipped teeth solution, or to hide enamel imperfections
• For long-term whitening of darkened or yellow teeth
• To make teeth look longer
• To improve the appearance of a single tooth with unusual shape, size, or color

Veneers treatment alone can make a tremendous difference in your smile. For a full smile makeover, the technique can be combined with other cosmetic and restorative procedures.

Porcelain veneers: Just two visits to Hemet, CA

Following an initial consultation and exam, traditional veneers usually require only two visits to Diamond Valley Dentist. At the first appointment, teeth are prepared. A tiny amount of enamel is removed from the front surfaces so that veneers fit snugly and look natural. Some teeth may need a little shaping, as well. (Preparation may not be necessary for ultra-thin veneers.)

Impressions are taken and you select the color of your new smile. Dr. Jergensen sends this information to the dental lab where a ceramist handcrafts and stains the veneers. If your teeth are sensitive, the doctor may recommend temporary resin veneers.

At your return visit (in about two weeks), interim restorations are removed. Final veneers are fitted and adjusted if necessary, then cemented in place.Are you searching the internet for “veneers near me,” and feeling confused about which dentist to choose?
