Dublin, CA dentist often recommends cosmetic porcelain veneers for enhancing imperfect teeth

At StarBrite Dental Dublin, CA we understand how vital it is to have a smile that is beautiful and attractive. However, imperfections that can impact the smile, including gapped, broken, or crooked teeth, often become a concern and patients might have low self-confidence. When imperfections of the smile make patients experience lowered self-esteem, they need to work with a cosmetic dentist to discuss options for disguising these teeth, including porcelain veneers.

What are porcelain veneers?

The dentists of StarBrite Dental Dublin encourage patients to ask about solutions for their smile. When it comes to covering problem areas, porcelain veneers are strongly recommended. Porcelain veneers are cosmetic restorations that act as thin facings. They are bonded onto the front of a tooth to cover problems including:

• Gapped teeth
• Stained teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Chipped/cracked teeth
• Unusually shaped teeth

Any patient having these concerns will often want to consider the advantages of porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are custom-made for the patient based on the size, shape, and color of the existing teeth. A ceramist at a laboratory fabricates the veneers to ensure they look as natural as possible.

How do I obtain porcelain veneers?

First, patients consult with the team at StarBrite Dental Dublin to discuss their goals. Then, preparations are made on the teeth, often including the filing down of the front of the tooth’s surface. Once this has been done, impressions are made and used by the ceramist to create the new veneer. Patients return to the office to have their veneer bonded and the entire process is complete. With proper care, most patients enjoy their veneers for many years!
