The dentists at StarBrite Dental in Dublin, California, are proud to provide a selection of cosmetic dental procedures for patients ready to enhance their smiles. Porcelain veneers may be recommended when imperfections of the smile exist to disguise these problems and give the smile a beautiful appearance. Drs. Munira Lokhandwala, Maryum Tariq, and Richard Yai are all available at our practice to help patients learn more about porcelain veneers and determine if they are a good fit for their unique dental needs. Below are some of the frequently asked questions we hear about our affordable porcelain veneers:
Porcelain veneers are a type of dental restoration used to improve the appearance of teeth. They are made from a thin layer of porcelain that is bonded to the tooth.
Porcelain veneers can also be used to improve the overall appearance of your smile. They can make your teeth look whiter and brighter, and they can make your smile look more symmetrical.
These restorations are perfect for addressing a variety of dental problems, including:
The process of getting porcelain veneers usually involves two visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth and send them to a lab. You will also have a consultation with the dentist to discuss what you would like to change about your smile.
The second visit is when the veneers are actually put in place. The dentist will remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth so that the veneers can fit comfortably. The veneers will then be bonded to your teeth using dental adhesive.
Porcelain veneers typically last between five and 10 years. However, they may require replacement sooner if patients fail to care for them correctly. They can break if patients chew on strong or hard objects such as pens or ice cubes, so it is critical to be aware of how you are caring for your teeth and veneers when it comes to their longevity.
Most dental insurance plans do not cover the cost of porcelain veneers. However, many dentists offer financing options that make this restoration more affordable. The dentists at StarBrite Dental want to make cosmetic treatments attainable for all patients regardless of insurance coverage status.
