Dental veneers are thin, shell-like covers that fit over the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are typically made of porcelain, but other materials, such as composite resin, are also used. Porcelain is the preferred material because it is extremely durable and mimics natural tooth enamel. The veneer is bonded to your tooth using a strong cement that bonds it to your enamel for long-lasting results. Dental veneers can be used to fix a variety of aesthetic imperfections in your teeth, including stains from drinks like red wine or coffee, chips, cracks, small gaps between teeth, and yellowing. One of the best things about veneers is that they are stain-resistant, so you won't have to worry about your smile losing its luster years down the road. Your smile is one of the first things that people notice about you, so it's understandable if you want to make it as bright and beautiful as possible. Veneers can completely transform your smile into something you're proud to show off. Call us to learn more.

Why should you choose Veneers?

Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that are placed over a tooth to improve its appearance. They are created to resemble natural tooth enamel and are resistant to stains and chipping. Dental veneers are a good option for teeth that are worn down due to biting or chewing on hard objects. In severe cases of worn-down teeth, dental crowns may be recommended instead.

Veneers are also a good solution for hiding imperfections such as gaps between teeth, cracks in teeth, misshapen teeth, crooked teeth, and more. The veneers are placed over the problematic teeth and naturally blend in with the rest of the smile to create a straighter, more symmetrical appearance. It's also important to note that dental veneers help to protect the surface of a damaged tooth from decay. When placed over a cavity, the veneer is shaped and sized appropriately to prevent food particles and bacteria from getting stuck inside the mouth and affecting the healthy parts of the tooth. This can help prevent the need for more serious dental treatments down the road.

• The treatment procedure with veneers would not require more than two visits to the dentist in San Jose's practice. If the dentist has CEREC, the procedure can be completed in a single visit.
• Since they are made from tooth-colored material, they can be highly customized to mimic the appearance of the adjoining natural teeth perfectly.
• Veneers are highly resistant to external wear, allowing them to stay as good as new for many years.
• They can be used to treat several types of oral conditions, both aesthetic and functional. This makes them highly versatile.
• Placing the veneer on the tooth would not require a lot of preparation, as the removal of a thin layer of enamel from the tooth would suffice to place it.

What is the Procedure for Placing Veneers?

Dental veneers are a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of your teeth. Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain that are placed over the surface of a tooth to improve its appearance, shape, or length. Since veneers are made from porcelain, they are stain-resistant and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. During a consultation appointment, your San Jose Dentist will determine if dental veneers are the best option for you. Before prescribing a set of veneers, a cosmetic dentist will do a thorough examination of your teeth to make sure that veneers are the best form of treatment for you. Some types of staining or damage may not be improved by veneers, and other types of treatments may be a better solution for your case.

During the initial consultation, San Jose dentists will screen the mouth thoroughly to check whether or not veneers can be used to treat your oral condition. Scans and x-rays will be taken to get a better view of the teeth. A thin layer of enamel will be removed from the tooth to make space for the veneer, and a digital impression of the tooth will be created. It is sent to a dental laboratory for fabrication

Once the veneer is made and ready to be bonded, we will schedule the second consultation. The dentist will apply an etching solution on the tooth and roughen its surface. The veneer will be bonded to it using dental adhesives and hardened using a curing light. A bite test will be conducted, and the veneer may be polished.
