Veneers

Why Get Veneers?

Isn’t it always nice to see a smiling face? It’s even better to see sparkling teeth when the person smiles. Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with perfect teeth. Stained, cracked, crooked, or irregularly shaped teeth can cause undue embarrassment, inhibit social ease, and prevent one from fully enjoying life. If you are one of the many who urgently needs a dental restoration, then porcelain veneers might be the right solution for you.

Veneers are ultra-thin, like contact lenses. They are bonded to the surface of the affected tooth in the form of custom fabrication. Porcelain veneers help to alter tooth position, shape, size, and color. If you are looking for a cosmetic lift for your smile, look no further than Dentique. With some of the best providers of veneers, San Diego has to offer, Dentique is your clear choice.

When Do You Require Veneers?

Veneers are custom-made, natural-looking porcelain laminates that are specially designed to cover your front teeth. Working to provide patients with some of the best veneers San Diego has to offer, Dentique has become synonymous with comprehensive cosmetic care. We recommend veneers under the following conditions:

  • Worn-out teeth
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Permanently stained teeth
  • Poorly shaped teeth
  • Gap teeth or unwanted spaces between teeth
  • Overly large or overly small teeth
  • Crooked teeth

How Long Will Veneers Last?

Because veneers can withstand chipping, staining, and daily wear and tear, they have the potential to last the rest of your life, provided you care for your veneers carefully. It’s important to practice daily dental hygiene such as flossing and brushing and to attend regular dental check-ups every six months or so.

In the same way, that bad habits such as biting your nails can hurt your teeth, chewing on improper surfaces can cause damage to your veneers. In general, the veneers will react to circumstances just like regular teeth, so you will need to protect them accordingly.

Advantages of Having Veneers:

  • Requires only a few visits to the office
  • Material is biodegradable
  • A natural appearance that blends seamlessly with the smile
  • Preservation of the tooth
  • No alteration of tooth necessary in most cases
  • Improves cosmetic issues such as stains or cracks
  • Long-lasting, durable

How Are Veneers Different From Crowns?

Veneers are approximately 1 mm thick, whereas a dental crown is usually around 2 mm. A crown will encase the entire tooth, but a veneer simply covers the front area that people see when you smile.

Crowns will be employed when a tooth has decayed or is broken and needs significant restoration. They are ideal for teeth that perform a lot of work, such as those that accomplish chewing, biting, and grinding. When a crown is applied, the tooth will be reduced, and that tooth will always need a crown going forward.

Veneers, on the other hand, are perfect for healthy teeth that simply need cosmetic improvement because of discoloration or an unattractive shape. They work best for the teeth in the front of the mouth that are more responsible for the look of one’s smile than for performing the work of chewing and grinding. With veneers, tooth reduction is not typically required. Like crowns, however, veneers are permanent and cannot be reversed.

How Do Veneers Resemble Natural Teeth?

Natural teeth are distinguished by the shine of their translucent enamel. The porcelain veneer gives off a similar shine and luster, brightening the smile for a stunning yet organic aesthetic.
