Porcelain Veneers in the San Francisco Bay Area
If you are looking for a convenient and effective way to dramatically improve your smile, consider receiving veneers. Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells (typically made of porcelain or composite resin) that Dr. Plasch will bond to the front surface of your teeth.
Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.
As with most dental restorations, veneers are not permanent and may someday need replacement. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile.
Reasons for porcelain veneers:
When in place, veneers can give you a flawless, radiant smile. Veneers can be used for many purposes, including to:
Remove tooth stains and brighten the teeth
Change the shape and size of teeth
Close the gaps between teeth
Correct teeth that are misshapen or crooked
Repair teeth with chips or wear
Veneers are an aesthetically-pleasing, convenient option for many of our patients. What does getting porcelain veneers involve?
Getting veneers usually requires two visits to complete the process, with little or no anesthesia required during the procedure. The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. A mold or impression of the teeth is taken and a shade (color) will then be chosen by you and the dentist.
On the second visit the teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to achieve a durable bond. Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer and a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.
You will receive care instructions for veneers. Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new veneers.
