Porcelain laminate veneers are probably the most aesthetic means of creating a more pleasing and beautiful smile.

Porcelain tooth veneers require a minimal amount of tooth reduction (approximately .5 mm ) and are, therefore, a more conservative restoration than a crown. Los Angeles dental veneers allow us to alter tooth position, shape, size and color.

What is a tooth veneer exactly?

Veneers are usually made from porcelain and are thin coverings that are custom-made to fit over existing teeth. They are held in place by a special resin and result in durable coverings that can be a cosmetic fix for spaces in between teeth, broken or chipped teeth, stained fillings, correcting crooked or uneven teeth, or even whitening. Veneers are fitted by a dentist in an almost painless procedure. Once fitted, they last many years and look completely natural. After 5 to 10 years, the wearer should replace their veneers.

Procedure Information

The dentist will remove only the tiniest amount of natural tooth structure if any before attaching the veneers. The veneers are strong and durable and the color should remain unstained. A resin filling can be used when only a small amount of the tooth needs replacing or repair, or a full crown might be used if there was a root canal treatment or if all the enamel was lost. The dentist takes an impression of the tooth to make an exact replica.

Recovery Time

Having veneers placed on your teeth is painless and they can last for years, depending on how well you take care of them. They are quite resistant to stains and chipping, within reason. Veneers are cared for in the same way as natural teeth and should be subject to regular cleaning and dentist check-ups. Veneers provide a beautiful smile and some people have them added even when they have no problems other than a bit of staining. The white look of the veneers normally lasts for the life of the veneers, which is about 5 to 10 years.

Some facts you might want to know about Dental Veneers

• Since they require approximately .5mm of tooth reduction, Los Angeles dental veneers are NOT considered a reversible form of treatment.
• Occasionally the preparation of a Porcelain Laminate Veneer does not necessitate the use of a local anesthetic. However, for those patients that are particularly sensitive or anxious, a local anesthetic is advisable.
• The laboratory time required for the fabrication of a Porcelain Laminate Veneer is approximately one week. Due to the minimal amount of tooth reduction, it is usually not necessary to fabricate any type of temporary restoration. Should a temporary be needed, they can, in most circumstances, be made at the time of treatment.
• Between your preparation visit and the insertion visit, you can expect some sensitivity to hot and cold. This is normal and is due to the removal of a small portion of the enamel covering of the tooth. This sensitivity should disappear after the placement of your Porcelain Laminate Veneer.
• Your second visit, the insertion of your laminate, can be accomplished, once again , with or without local anesthetic. This visit is usually longer in length. The laminates are placed with a light sensitive resin which is hardened by using a white light.
• Once placed your laminates are very strong and will resist most of the forces placed upon them by a normal diet. Porcelain has great crushing strength but poor tensile strength. Therefore, you should avoid anything that will tend to twist the laminate. Opening pistachio nuts with your teeth, chewing on bones or jelly apples is probably not a good idea. As with most things, common sense should prevail.
