Covering Imperfections Easily With Porcelain Veneers
If you have gaps, stains, or even a chipped tooth in your smile, you may be curious about the restorative and cosmetic dentistry solutions available at Dos Caminos Dental of Camarillo, California. Dr. Ali Soltanirad (Dr. Rad) is a dedicated dental provider who uses a number of different solutions to help patients improve their smiles. This includes popular restoration such as the porcelain veneer.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Dr. Rad describes the porcelain veneer as a facing that is customized to cover a natural tooth to disguise an imperfection. This imperfection may be untreatable with other options, whereas the porcelain veneer will offer full coverage that can last many years. Our team at Dos Caminos Dental creates the veneer to match the patient’s existing teeth, ensuring that once the veneer is bonded in place, it does not stand out as an apparent dental restoration.
What Is The Process Of Getting A Dental Veneer?
Porcelain veneers do require at least two appointments at Dos Caminos Dental. First, patients consult with their dentist to determine if they are a good fit for veneers or alternative options, including composite resin bonding. Once patients choose to move forward with veneers, they have preparations completed. This is removing a small portion of the natural tooth enamel from the front of the tooth. Dr. Rad then takes impressions of the prepared tooth to create a mold used for the fabrication of the final restoration. A temporary may be placed while the patient waits for their final restoration, which can take approximately two weeks to complete. Once it arrives at the dental office, patients return to have their temporary veneer removed and their final one put in place.
