Who is a good candidate for Dental Veneers in Long Beach?

Porcelain veneers can be a good option for people who want to improve the appearance of their teeth. They are thin shells of porcelain that are placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their shape, color, and size.

Good candidates for porcelain veneers in Long Beach typically have one or more of the following issues:

1. Discolored teeth: Teeth that are severely discolored or stained, and cannot be improved with teeth whitening treatments.
2. Chipped, cracked or broken teeth: Teeth that are chipped, cracked, or broken due to injury or wear and tear.
3. Uneven or misshapen teeth: Teeth that are uneven or misshapen, creating an unattractive smile.
4. Gaps between teeth: Teeth that have gaps between them, creating an unattractive smile.
5. Crooked teeth: Teeth that are slightly crooked or misaligned.

It is important to note that not everyone is a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Your dentist will evaluate your teeth and overall oral health to determine if porcelain veneers are the right option for you. Factors such as tooth decay, gum disease, and bite alignment issues may need to be addressed before veneers can be placed.

The Art of Dentistry Institute also offers prepless veneers in Long Beach, CA. Prepless veneers are veneers that are bonded to the surface of your teeth, with no or limited tooth structure being removed or reshaped in preparation to receive the veneers. They can be appropriate to correct some conditions such as reshaping teeth that are too small.

What is the procedure for Porcelain Veneers in Long Beach?

The procedure for porcelain veneers typically involves the following steps:

1. Consultation: Your dentist will evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals for treatment to determine if porcelain veneers are the right option for you.
2. Preparation: To prepare your teeth for veneers, a small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth. This is done to create space for the veneers and to ensure a proper fit.
3. Impressions: Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth, which will be used to create custom-made veneers that fit your teeth perfectly.
4. Temporary veneers: While your custom veneers are being made, your dentist may place temporary veneers on your teeth to protect them and maintain your appearance.
5. Bonding: Once your custom veneers are ready, your dentist will place them on your teeth using a dental adhesive. The veneers will be carefully positioned and adjusted to ensure a proper fit and a natural-looking result.
6. Final adjustments: Your dentist may make final adjustments to your veneers, such as polishing and shaping, to ensure that they look and feel just right.

Overall, the procedure for porcelain veneers typically takes 2-3 visits to the dentist over the course of several weeks, depending on the complexity of your case.
