Veneers
If you’re unhappy with the way your teeth look, veneers are an effective method for reshaping and redesigning your smile. Whether your teeth have stains, gaps, crack, chips or other issues, you can get the smile you've always wanted with veneers. Veneers are thin, ceramic shells that cover the existing tooth structure in your mouth, and we can use them to transform your smile.
Having veneers placed usually only takes two to three visits. During the first visit, we can discuss the shape and look of the smile you want to accomplish, and then we will prepare your teeth. We prepare teeth for veneers by removing some of the enamel on the surface of your teeth. The amount of enamel that is removed will be nearly equal to the thickness of the veneers. This ensures that your smile will still feel natural and not bulky after the procedure.
Once the enamel has been removed, an impression is taken of your mouth so that the veneers can be fabricated to fit your existing teeth. This fabrication process takes between 10 to 14 days and is done in a laboratory of the highest standards. You will be provided with temporary veneers during your wait. Then the final veneers are bonded to your teeth to create an attractive smile that looks and feels natural.

Veneers
Many of us wish we could change something about our smile. We might want to improve our alignment and brightness or correct chips and cracks. While there are many ways to improve the cosmetic appearance of our smiles, veneers provide my patients with the opportunity to completely makeover their smile look. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are individually crafted to meet an individual patient’s needs. Some of the many cosmetic problems veneers can correct include:
- · Discoloration
- · Cracks
- · Chips
- · Gaps
- · Misalignment
Since veneers cover your existing tooth structure, you can create a truly picture perfect smile. San Lorenzo, CA patients that have chosen veneers have been thrilled with the results of their new makeover. In as little as two visits to the office, you can find confidence in a new, beautiful smile. Veneers are a great way to completely makeover your smile, but they aren’t for everyone. If you are interested in this cosmetic dental service, schedule an appointment at my office. I’m happy to help patients decide if veneers are the best option for their smile needs.
