We place dental veneers in Encino. Dental veneers are tiny porcelain covers that are used to correct minor defects and damage to your teeth. They are also known as porcelain veneers. The veneers are made of the thinnest porcelain because when porcelain is incredibly thin, it has many of the same characteristics as your natural tooth enamel which allows it to blend in and fit perfectly with the tooth and the surrounding teeth. The dental veneers are extremely hard, just like enamel, which works in favor of durability and ensures that they last a long time. Unfortunately, enamel and veneers are also brittle, so it requires a degree of care. For example, we do not recommend ever using your veneers, or your teeth, as a tool for opening a bag or ripping things other than food.
Can anyone get dental veneers?
The versatility and ease of use with dental veneers have made them an important tool in the bag of many dentists. The fact that they can be used on virtually any patient, for any number of corrections, makes them invaluable. There is a small population of people that cannot get dental veneers, for a number of underlying causes. However, for the vast majority of people dental veneers are simple to have placed. We do make sure that you are eligible for the treatment during our first visit by performing a complete examination. This examination not only tells us that you are eligible, but also allows us to capture any other small problems that may need fixing before we proceed. A good example is a cavity that might need filling. Overall, there are really very few reasons why a person cannot get dental veneers, and if you happen to be one of the few people that cannot, we will explore other treatment options that could work in lieu of veneers.
What do you fix with dental veneers in Encino?
This solution is one that can be used to correct any number of oral challenges. Dental veneers are so versatile that they are used by different dentists to address many different problems with the teeth. While dental veneers have become very popular in mainstream culture for being able to give you a perfect white smile, they do far more than that. Dental veneers can be used to straighten teeth, correct alignment, whiten teeth and even make marked improvements to your bite. From our perspective, we use them extensively for correcting minor breaks, cracks, and chips to your teeth. Veneers are a preferred solution for many patients, over some of the other alternatives, because they are minimally invasive and only require a small amount of enamel to be shaved away to place them.
Dental veneers require enamel to be shaved away?
In order to place the dental veneers extremely flat, or flush, with your tooth we will need to shave away a small portion of the tooth enamel. When placing dental veneers in Encino, we will only shave a few millimeters in order to get a perfect fit.
