newport beach veneers

When you have more than one cosmetic concern with the appearance of your smile, we can offer help that only requires a single treatment. Porcelain veneers can transform your smile and provide incredible results in only two visits. In today’s blog, your Newport Beach, CA, oral surgeon talks about our custom cosmetic veneers.

The Cosmetic Benefits Veneers Offer

Each veneer is a restoration made from porcelain, a very thin one that is placed onto the front of a tooth. Once in place, this instantly changes the shape and color of your teeth, which is why placing multiple ones could offer a smile makeover. Our team can use them to mask permanent teeth stains that could otherwise resist teeth whitening treatments. We can also fill gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth, and reshape teeth to offer an improved bite balance and appearance. We can even repair minor damage and help correct the appearance of minor misalignment so you can have a straighter-looking smile without the need for orthodontics.

How We Place Your Custom Restorations

To receive one or more of them, we will numb the tooth or teeth being treated, so we can gently remove a thin layer of outer enamel and make room for the complete veneers. Once we finish this step, we will take detailed digital images and measurements of the prepped teeth, and use these in a lab setting to design and craft your finished restoration. The porcelain we use is very durable and can handle daily bite forces and pressures. The material can also be shaded to blend with your smile. We may even whiten teeth beforehand so the finished product blends with your smile.

Maintaining a Beautiful Smile

When we complete the restoration, we will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a proper fit. We will attach them with a powerful bonding agent. With proper care and attention these can last for decades to come. For example, you should rush for two minutes when you wake up and then again before you go to bed, using a fluoride toothpaste each time to protect outer enamel. You also need to floss every evening and cut back on the sugar in your diet. These actions keep them bright and safeguard the teeth we have attached your veneers to. If you have any questions about how we design and craft our custom veneers, or if you want to schedule a visit to get started, then contact our team today to learn more.
