Porcelain Veneers
Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Stockton, Modesto, California
If you think you could benefit from braces, but do not want to wait years to have a dazzling smile, porcelain veneers may be the option for you.
Porcelain veneers or dental laminates are a relatively new development in the field of cosmetic dentistry. These wafer-thin porcelain shells are carefully bonded onto the front side of your teeth, making a dramatic improvement to the look and feel of your smile. They can change the color, shape, or size of your teeth. Porcelain veneers are ideal for anyone with teeth that are:
- Chipped or cracked
- Too small or too large
- Badly discolored
- Have gaps in between them
- Contain small holes
- Are misaligned or too close together
Porcelain veneers are a quick, safe and pain-free way to achieve the same look as braces but can be completed in several visits as opposed to years. Although porcelain is naturally brittle, when firmly bonded to a steady structure—like a tooth—it becomes incredibly strong and durable.
Porcelain veneers are gaining popularity due to the ease of which they are applied and the long-lasting benefits they produce. Not only do they create a realistic appearance because of their glass-like translucency, veneers are also stain-resistant so you can happily sip all the coffee and red wine you want to with no repercussions.
There are three types of veneers Dr. Miller uses:
These were the first veneers, made from feldspathic porcelain, and remained the only option until about 15 years ago. The feldspathic material is still the thinnest option out there, allowing technicians to make veneers that are more natural looking than any veneer on the market. Feldspathic tooth veneers can be fabricated as thin as .4 millimeters, and their translucency reflects the underlying natural shade of your tooth.
These veneers are thin ceramic/porcelain shells that are set on the front of your teeth with a strong esthetic cement. This creates a natural look that will not irritate or change the appearance of your gums. Empress Veneers improve and resist all staining. They make dark teeth appear whiter, and each veneer is created separately in order to complement and enhance each of your individual teeth.
MAC veneers utilize incredibly thin, state-of-the-art pressed ceramic porcelain to give you that glimmering smile. With these veneers, you can choose just how white you want your smile to be, for the most natural look possible. MAC veneers are arguably two to three times stronger than other dental veneers. They are also said to last longer and are more resistant to stains than feldspathic veneers.
Porcelain veneers can make over your entire smile in just a few visits. This will leave you with a new, stunning smile that is sure to catch everyone’s attention. If you live in the Roseville, California area, please contact our office today for a consultation.
