Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic way to restructure your smile. Veneers are constructed from thin porcelain sheets that are placed directly onto your teeth. The veneers can be shaped and contoured to straighten and whiten your smile. The lightweight porcelain veneers are strong, durable and easy to apply by our Torrance dentist. Porcelain veneers are a popular alternative compared to other dental solutions for smile restoration.
Porcelain veneers provide strength and stability because they rely on your natural teeth for support. The veneers provide natural functionality to your teeth with a more pleasing appearance. Porcelain is naturally resistant to staining and will provide long-term benefits to your smile when combined with good oral hygiene habits and regular dental checkups. Porcelain veneers are designed to last many years, but may need a replacement if damage or oral injuries occur.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers
• To Improve Teeth Alignment and Spacing
• For Straightening Crooked Teeth
• To Whiten Staining and Discoloration
• For Correcting Large or Small Teeth
• To Close Gaps or Spacing between Teeth
• For Improving Broken, Chipped or Worn Teeth
Procedure for Porcelain Veneers
The placement of porcelain veneers is typically completed in two dental visits. Since veneers are applied easily, the use of anesthesia is minimal or not required. Your teeth will be examined and prepared for the shaping procedure on the first visit. This shaping allows your teeth to accept the placement of the porcelain veneers to ensure a perfectly aligned smile. Impressions of your teeth are made and the desired color of your teeth will be selected. This information is used for creation of the veneers.
Your second visit will begin the placement process. Your teeth will be cleaned and prepared with a bonding agent that will ensure a permanent bond to the porcelain veneers. The veneers are placed and positioned on your teeth by our Torrance cosmetic dentist. A specialized light source is applied to your teeth to allow the bonding to harden and create a permanent attachment to your natural teeth. Your aftercare instructions for porcelain veneers will be provided to help keep your new smile white and healthy.
