Veneers

Are veneers right for me?

Veneers are thin porcelain shells made to replicate the natural look of your teeth. Before bonding the veneers to your existing teeth, one of the qualified dental professionals at Murrieta Family Dental Group goes tooth by tooth to size each veneer. Veneers cover up imperfections such as cracks, gaps, stains, or misshapen teeth. They can also restore weak teeth.

Although veneers can be made out of resin composite materials, porcelain is the most stain-resistant material. Porcelain also tends to match your natural enamel better. A skilled dental team member describes your choices and recommends the best type of veneers for your specific needs.

What is the procedure for getting veneers?

Following the initial consultation to review your desired results and the kind of veneers that are best for you, you come back for another appointment. A cosmetic dental specialist then removes a tiny layer of enamel from the surface of your existing teeth to make sure the veneers bond and fit properly. After your teeth are ready, your dental practitioner takes a mold of your teeth and sends it to the lab, where technicians will make your custom veneers.

When the veneers arrive from the lab, you return to the office and have them custom-fitted to each of your teeth. Your teeth are cleaned and etched to prepare them for the bonding process. A dental expert then applies a unique adhesive and light source which makes the cement bond securely to the porcelain. In a relatively short amount of time, your veneers are permanently in place, and you have a new and improved smile.

Why should I get veneers?

Veneers offer a natural-looking solution for broken, crooked, or misshapen teeth. Veneers also offer these advantages:

• Stain resistance
• Little gum irritation
• Can lighten darker teeth
• Aesthetically pleasing with minimal dental work
• Strengthen teeth
• More cost-effective than other dental solutions like crowns
