What Are Veneers?
Veneers are a fantastic option for people with aesthetically unpleasant or otherwise damaged teeth. Veneers are difficult to stain and are a long-lasting solution for patients who want a smile that is brighter and more beautiful. After just two or three visits to Marina del Rey cosmetic dentist Dr. Matthew, DDS, MICOI, patients are left with attractive veneers that can last for years!
During an initial consultation for dental veneers, Dr. Matthew will ask a patient questions concerning his or her wants and desires regarding the procedure. During this consultation, Dr. Matthew may take impressions of the mouth, perform x-rays, and determine whether veneers are the right option. If a patient ends up being a suitable candidate for veneers, the next step of the procedure involves the trimming of enamel. Veneers are meant to fit comfortably on the outside of the tooth, and for this to happen, it's necessary that a tooth's size is slightly reduced. This will help the veneers look natural and not out-of-place or overly large.
The last step is to bond the dental veneers to the teeth. Veneers are bonded using a unique quick-drying cement. When a special light is applied to the cement, the cement will harden, thereby bonding the veneers to the teeth for decades. If a patient takes good care of his or her veneers, they can expect them to last for years and years.
