Veneers in Fountain Valley - Understand Your Options

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic covers that are positioned on the front surface of the teeth to deliver aesthetic benefits. They are commonly used to correct misshapen teeth, chips, discoloration, and gaps that may be impacting your body positivity or self-confidence:

• Stains and discoloration caused by smoking, poor oral hygiene, and diet can be covered to deliver aesthetic improvements.
• Chips can be covered by durable veneers that will withstand regular biting and chewing without compromising the structure of the tooth underneath.
• Gaps are often covered by thin porcelain shells so that your smile has a more uniform, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
• Mild misalignment can also be tackled with veneers that are installed to give the impression of straight teeth.

Benefits of Veneers

The benefits of veneers are both aesthetic and functional and include:

• Natural-looking translucency that provides a finish that hides the fact that you have had veneers fitted. This will help improve your confidence as you show off your new smile.
• A stain-resistant surface that prevents discoloration from returning — even if you are a smoker — so that you can retain your initial confidence boost. This will ensure you can enjoy a bright white smile without having to make significant dietary and lifestyle changes.
• A lifetime of 10–15 years with proper care ensures that your initial investment will prove both durable and functional. This means that rework, such as if you had chosen a teeth whitening treatment, will be far less common.

Are You a Candidate?

You are a candidate for porcelain veneers for teeth if you meet several health, diet, and lifestyle criteria. Our goal is to make the process of choosing the right treatment as simple as possible, that’s why we’ve created an easy-to-follow checklist. You may be a good fit if you:

• Have healthy teeth and your gums are in good condition
• Want to correct gaps, discoloration, and some minor chips
• Have enough enamel to achieve successful, durable bonding
• Are not in the habit of grinding your teeth when you are asleep
• Are committed to regular brushing and flossing morning and night
• Are willing to schedule regular dental check-ups throughout the year
• Do not have bigger issues that require our Restorative Dentistry team

There are also alternatives to veneers if you do not meet some of the above criteria:

• Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that employs a tooth-colored resin to repair teeth and improve their appearance. It can be used to address chips and cracks, tackle severe discoloration, and close larger gaps between teeth. The resin is carefully shaped to look like a natural extension of the tooth and the application is not as sensitive as veneers are to the presence of enamel.
• Invisalign is a functional orthodontic treatment that uses a clear tooth aligner that straightens your teeth in a highly discreet way. The aligner is easily removable for cleaning and is designed as a less intrusive alternative to metal braces. This treatment will help with larger misalignments that cannot be covered by veneers.

Our Four-Step Veneer Process

Step 1. Consultation & Digital Smile Preview: Speaking directly with a cosmetic dentistry expert ensures that you understand all of your treatment options. A comprehensive digital smile assessment will highlight areas that need to be addressed and show you a high-definition preview of the results we will achieve.

Step 2. Minimal-Prep Tooth Shaping & Shade Selection: Tooth shaping ensures that every veneer can form a strong bond to the outer surface of the tooth. We take a minimal approach to shaping to maintain the structural integrity of your teeth. We also select the right shade for a natural look at this stage.

Step 3. Try-In & Custom Lab Fabrication: The try-in and custom fabrication step involves checking the precise fit of the veneers and then making all necessary refinements. The result is a better quality of fit that combines comfort with clear aesthetic improvements.

Step 4. Final Placement & Polishing: Our experts will precisely place and then precision polish each veneer to achieve a life-changing boost to your self-image and self-confidence. We cover every fine detail to ensure a premium finish at all times.
