A Great Choice for a Beautiful Smile

If you are hoping to restore or create a beautiful smile, dental veneers may be the answer. Porcelain veneers can make a huge difference to both your smile and your oral health. Veneers are durable, paper-thin, and bond to your natural teeth and makes it unlikely for them to stain.

Dental veneers are great for patients with:

Dull, discolored, or hard-to-whiten teeth
Teeth with an unfavorable shape
Cracked or chipped teeth
Gaps between teeth
Minor crookedness

Veneers can correct several different problems at once. If you have a couple of smile flaws you’d like corrected, you will see significant results with dental veneers.

Why Oceanside Dental Excellence Veneers Are So Popular

Benefits of Porcelain Dental Veneers

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are a brilliant blend of both cosmetic and restorative dentistry benefits. Despite being only as thick as a contact lens, they are incredibly durable shells that are placed over your natural teeth, providing a brand-new smile!

With veneers, you can address cosmetic issues like chipped teeth, stained teeth, or even unevenly spaced (gap tooth) teeth. Best of all, their porcelain makeup allows them to be resistant to stains and tooth decay, so you can have a healthy smile as well as a beautiful one.

Natural-Looking Teeth Thanks to Veneers

Porcelain veneers are made to look like natural teeth. A veneer is semi-translucent, meaning that light partially passes through it. This gives veneers a very natural look and sheen that seamlessly blends with the natural teeth surrounding the veneers.

Thanks to their natural appearance, you can enjoy all the benefits of an aesthetically pleasing smile while enjoying additional perks. For example, veneers are highly resilient to discoloration, meaning you can get a brighter, whiter smile and keep it.

Treat Your Smile to a New Look

Veneers can help restore your self-confidence and create a beautiful, white smile. Whether you are looking to restore damaged teeth or hoping for a Hollywood smile, Oceanside Dental Excellence is ready to help you transform your smile with cosmetic porcelain veneers.

You might be interested in veneers for the following reasons:

To repair damaged teeth
Embarrassment about your smile
In preparation for a wedding or similar event
To save time and money on teeth whitening appointments

Veneers Offer a Great SmileThat’s Comfortable For Gums

Gums tolerate porcelain well. The high-quality porcelain used in veneers, partnered with the proper fit will prevent any gum discoloration around the veneer. Some patients may experience limited discomfort from the procedure but should recover within a couple of days.

What an amazing treatment! Not only do you get a new smile that protects your natural teeth, but veneers are also great for the soft tissue of your mouth like gums. Our porcelain veneers won’t irritate your gums and they also help prevent harmful bacteria that cause gum disease.

Veneers Create a Stain-Resistant Smile

Veneers are made with a protective, non-porous glaze that, unlike natural teeth, provides a stain-resistant finish. You won’t need to whiten your teeth once you get dental veneers! With proper oral hygiene, your new smile will stay beautifully white for many years.

Yes, thanks to the high-quality materials of our veneers, your new smile will be brighter and whiter for longer than your natural teeth. This makes veneers a great treatment for anyone who suffers from chronic tooth discoloration caused by a medical condition or necessary medication.

Get The Right Shade For Your New Smile

The artistic skills of our dentists integrate the veneers seamlessly into your smile. Veneers are made to match the natural color of your existing teeth. If you plan on whitening your teeth, do so before color-matching of the porcelain occurs so your veneers match the rest of your natural teeth and create a beautiful smile.

Amazing! Veneers offer protection for natural teeth and the new smile is the bright, white color you’ve always wanted. And keeping that sparkling smile requires no extra maintenance. Simply brush and floss as recommended.

A Safe And Gentle Way to Improve Your Smile

Porcelain veneers are significantly less intrusive than other forms of cosmetic dentistry. You will only need two appointments to have your veneers properly fitted and installed. Placing veneers doesn’t require any recovery time allowing you to enjoy your new smile right away!

Veneers almost seem too good to be true when it comes to your dental health. They can support cracked, chipped, or damaged teeth as well as improve the aesthetics of your smile by resolving stains, shortened, or gapped teeth. All these benefits and more in two visits!

Caring For Your Veneers

The smiles our porcelain veneers create are beautiful, durable, and long lasting. And can be created and placed quickly. With such a wonderful treatment, many may believe that there must be a catch, like messy maintenance or expensive additional care. But that’s simply not true!

Our veneers are designed to support your natural teeth, and therefore, can be treated just like your natural teeth! Keep your new smile sparkling by simply brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. And schedule regular checkups once every three to six months.

Picture Perfect Results With Porcelain Veneers

How Dental Veneers Are Made and Placed

1

Consultation and Treatment Planning

Typically, porcelain veneers will be completed in 2–3 separate appointments. The first appointment will be used to take impressions of your teeth. The impressions or digital scan will be used to determine the shape and style of veneers you’ll need.

This time can also be used to color-match the porcelain to your natural teeth. This produces a seamless look between veneers and your natural teeth.

2

Tooth Preparation

At your next appointment, we will remove a thin layer of enamel to allow for the porcelain to adhere to your tooth or teeth. This also makes it so your tooth won’t be so thick after the veneers are placed.

After the layer of enamel is removed, temporary veneers are provided while we construct yours in a lab.

3

Veneer Placement and Bonding

When your permanent veneers are ready they will be fitted to your teeth. This will likely be another appointment. We can adjust the bite if needed before bonding it. If you are unhappy with the color or shape at this time, we may be able to make those adjustments, but we’ll have to send it back to the lab to be remade. In this case, we’ll schedule a new appointment to place them at a later date.

4

Aftercare and Maintenance

After your procedure’s final adjustments are made to the shape and bite of the new veneer, our dentist may have you return in a few weeks for a follow-up appointment to check the fit and appearance of the veneers and to check your gum line.

Regular exams and cleanings are recommended to maintain the health and appearance of your teeth and veneers.

Patient Considerations For Porcelain Veneers

For best results, the ideal patient will need to be in good oral health before the veneers are placed. One of our dentists will give you a full examination and can help you determine if veneers are right for you.

Factors that would hinder the application of veneers:

Cavities or tooth decay that need to be addressed
Missing teeth where you’d like to get a veneer
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Untreated gum disease

What Are the Disadvantages of Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers can help create or restore a beautiful smile, but there are a few things you may want to consider before investing:

Veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth
The top layer of tooth enamel is removed and your tooth is etched to bond the veneer
If you are considering whitening your teeth, you should do so before getting veneers

How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?

Veneers can last 7–15 years if they are properly cared for. Practicing good oral hygiene at home and scheduling regular dental cleanings and exams will help protect your veneers and could extend their life. That means with regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups, your new smile can last well over a decade. One more reason to smile when getting our beautiful, durable porcelain veneers!

What Type of Care Do Veneers Require?

Porcelain veneers do not require any special care or products. The steps for keeping them strong and gorgeous are simple:

Brush and floss your teeth daily
Set regular dental visits
Invest in a nightguard for teeth grinding
Refrain from using your veneers to cut, break, or open hard objects

While unlikely, if a veneer comes loose, call our office immediately. Do not try to adhere the veneer to your tooth on your own.

How Much Do Dental Veneers Cost?

Porcelain veneer prices depend on the extent of the treatment—including how many teeth and coverage you need.

Our team is happy to answer any pricing questions you might have during or following your consultation. We offer financing plans for all our dental treatments, including dental veneers. Contact our office for more information or check out our financing page for details.

Can Porcelain Veneers Be Whitened?

Our porcelain veneers are designed to be stain-resistant to substances like tannins (an acidic element in foods responsible for discoloration). That means that they can’t be whitened because they don’t need to be!

In fact, porcelain veneers are a very popular treatment for anyone that suffers from chronic tooth discoloration caused by medical conditions or medications.

Porcelain Veneers vs. Composite Veneers

Composite veneers (sometimes referred to as “chairside” veneers) are structurally different from their porcelain counterparts. Since they are made from composite resin, they can be made quickly and placed in a single visit because no enamel alteration is necessary.

However, the resin isn’t as durable as porcelain. This means composite veneers won’t provide as much protection and have a lifespan around 3 years.

Are There Alternatives to Porcelain Veneers?

The genius of porcelain veneers is how they address both cosmetic issues while providing restorative benefits to your natural teeth. However, that doesn’t mean they are the only treatment to address such oral health issues. Dental bonding can fix damaged teeth in an hour, while dental crowns can address issues caused by a single tooth.
