Who is a good candidate for Dental Veneers in Santa Ana?

For those seeking to enhance their teeth's appearance, porcelain veneers can be a viable option. These are thin porcelain shells that are affixed to the front of the teeth to enhance their size, shape, and color.

Good candidates for porcelain veneers in Santa Ana 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.

As much as porcelain veneers can be a viable solution to improve the appearance of teeth, it is not suitable for everyone. The suitability of porcelain veneers for a patient is based on an evaluation of their teeth and overall oral health. Bite alignment issues, gum disease, and tooth decay are some of the factors that may require correction before veneers can be placed. Hence, it is crucial to have your teeth assessed by a dentist to determine if porcelain veneers are the right choice for you.

At the Art of Dentistry Institute, we offer prepless veneers in Santa Ana, CA as an alternative to traditional veneers. Unlike traditional veneers, prepless veneers require little to no reshaping of the natural teeth before placement. This makes them a suitable option for patients who have smaller teeth or other minor cosmetic dental issues that can be addressed with veneers. Our dental professionals can assess your individual situation and help determine if prepless veneers are the right choice for you.

What is the procedure for Porcelain Veneers in Santa Ana?

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.

In general, the process of getting porcelain veneers involves 2-3 appointments with your dentist spread over a few weeks, with the duration depending on the complexity of your individual case.
