Porcelain Veneer Questions
Antioch, California
What are porcelain veneers?
They are thin pieces of ceramic material permanently bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Porcelain veneers are custom-made teeth: they will blend in perfectly with your natural teeth to create a natural, beautiful smile. By creating the veneers of slightly different thickness they create the appearance of even and straight teeth.
What can porcelain veneers do for my smile?
Porcelain veneers can cover many small defects, such as:
Stains that resist tooth whitening procedures
Small gaps between teeth
Mild crookedness
Chips and cracks
Slight misalignment
Does it hurt to get porcelain veneers?
Just like any other cosmetic dental procedure, Dentist, Dr. Palano guarantees gentle, comfortable, compassionate care. Diablo Hills Dental has the full range of comfort-producing techniques available including Sedation or deep relaxation dentistry. In fact, Porcelain Veneers is one of the few procedure which requires no anesthetics at all in some cases.
How are porcelain veneers placed?
Generally, the entire procedure will involve two appointments, not counting your initial consultation.
A visit to create a dental mold of your teeth and prepare their surfaces for dental bonding to the veneers
The visit where the veneers are bonded to your teeth
Why are porcelain restorations so popular?
Porcelain absorbs and reflects light in the same manner as natural tooth enamel. It can be matched in color to your existing teeth. It is strong and durable and needs no special care, beyond the care you would give your natural teeth. It is stain-resistant. These features all add up to an excellent dental option, and as cosmetic dentistry becomes more known and popular, more people are asking for porcelain restorations rather than gold alloy or metal amalgam. You can have porcelain fillings and porcelain crowns as well as porcelain veneers.
