What Can Dental Veneers Do For Your Smile? | Oceanside Dental Excellence

Hello, and welcome to our Oceanside Dental Excellence cosmetic dentistry blog. Today we are taking the time to answer a common question that many dental patients have. The question is, “What exactly are veneers and how are they used in cosmetic dentistry?”

Porcelain Veneers Give Your Teeth a Makeover

Veneers are thin shells made from durable, translucent porcelain or composite resin. They are custom-made for each patient and are used to improve the appearance of teeth. Unlike a dental crown which covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, a porcelain veneer covers just the front part of the tooth. They are usually used to correct teeth that have been chipped, stained, decayed, or that are slightly crooked.

Veneers are Custom Made for Your Teeth

Veneers are not one-size-fits-all. Like a porcelain crown, each veneer is custom-made for your tooth. To create your veneer, your dentist will first make an impression of your teeth. Next, a dental technician will use the model to create the veneers, so you can be sure of a custom fit.

Since a minuscule layer of the enamel on the tooth has to be removed so the veneer can be affixed, this dental procedure is usually irreversible.

Dental Implants Replace the Whole Tooth

Perhaps you have an extracted tooth. The gold standard in tooth replacement is no longer a dental bridge. A replaces both the root and crown of the missing tooth. It doesn’t require grinding down adjacent teeth to attach a dental bridge.
