Overview of Dental Veneers

Dental Veneers are very thin, custom-made shells that are adhered to the surface of your teeth. They are used to restore a number of cosmetic dental concerns, including enhancing one or more teeth’s:

Color
Shape
Size

At Walnut Creek Dental, we offer porcelain veneers due to their natural, tooth-colored aesthetic, strength, and durability. If you have a cosmetic dental concern, such as a misshapen or discolored tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Cosmetic veneers aren’t an appropriate option for people with cavities, periodontal disease, or are prone to clenching or grinding their teeth at night.

Porcelain Veneer Procedure

If Dr. Pappas or one of our other trusted dentists determine that you’re a good candidate for porcelain veneers, the process of placing them in your mouth will take place over two dental appointments. During your first appointment:

The dentist will remove a tiny amount of enamel from the front of your damaged teeth to prepare it for the veneer.
Then, he will take an impression of your mouth to send to the dental lab where your veneer(s) will be made.
Finally, he’ll place temporary veneers in your mouth until your permanent ones are complete.

After your permanent veneers have been made, your temporary veneers will be removed and the permanent ones will be placed. If necessary, the dentist will make adjustments and trim it until it looks perfect. A follow-up appointment may also be needed to make adjustments to your veneers.

How to Care for Cosmetic Veneers

Keeping your dental veneers is as simple as caring for your natural teeth:

Brush your teeth two times a day
Use mouthwash and floss daily
Don’t bite down on hard items, such as ice
Wear a mouth guard at night if you’re prone to clenching or grinding your teeth
Visit a dentist at Walnut Creek Dental every six months for routine checkups and professional cleanings

Porcelain Veneers Benefits

Porcelain veneers can help you live a happier life. If you’re tired of living with an imperfect smile, dental veneers may be for you. Some of the many benefits they can provide include:

Improving the aesthetic of your damaged teeth
Helping you feel more confident
Being less invasive than implants or crowns

Cost of Cosmetic Veneers

Your porcelain veneers may be partially covered by your dental insurance plan. Please contact our office to learn more about what your dental insurance plan covers and what your cosmetic veneers will cost.
