Stains and irregularly shaped teeth can cause embarrassment and may make smiling difficult. Luckily, there’s a quick and efficient fix. Porcelain veneers are one of the most versatile tools in cosmetic dentistry because they can treat a whole row of teeth. Gentle Care Dentistry offers porcelain teeth veneers for patients in the Azusa, CA, area to treat a wide variety of aesthetic issues.

Benefits of porcelain dental veneers

When the enamel on your tooth wears down, the dentin of your tooth is exposed, which is naturally yellow in color. This discoloration won’t respond to teeth whitening, and your tooth is more vulnerable to fractures and chips without the structure of the enamel intact. Porcelain veneers are crafted to cover the front of your teeth, and the durable ceramic can strengthen weakened teeth.

Porcelain veneers can also close the gaps in your teeth, lengthen uneven teeth, and cover chips and other imperfections. If your teeth are slightly crooked, you can use veneers to get a straighter smile instead of orthodontics, as long as you don’t have issues with your bite. Dr. Luu can evaluate your teeth and your bite during your consultation and determine whether or not veneers are a suitable fix for your cosmetic goals. 

Improve your teeth in two visits

Dental veneers can be crafted and placed in about two or three weeks. Because they are made from a very thin layer of ceramic, only about .5mm-.7mm of enamel on the outer layer of your teeth is removed. Once your teeth are prepped, a scan of the prepared teeth is digitally send to the dental lab. Once your veneers are ready, you return to office and have them bonded to your teeth.

Porcelain veneers won’t protect your teeth from cavities, and you will still need to have routine dental cleanings, as well as stay on top of your at-home care. Regular brushing and flossing can help your veneers last anywhere from 10-15 years. Meanwhile, tooth decay and gum issues can loosen veneers and may cause them to fall off. Dr. Luu will educate you on how to keep your new smile intact for as long as possible. Contact our office in Azusa, CA, today at +1 626-466-9596 to learn more about porcelain teeth veneers.
