Consult with Pro Smile Dental Care in San Ramon CA about our porcelain veneers using advanced technology to make sure your veneers are the best fit for your teeth. Porcelain veneers are preferred by most patients for when a tooth is discolored, worn, crooked, or chipped and if the patient is dissatisfied with the length or size of the natural tooth.
Many people have heard of porcelain veneers but don’t quite know what they are. They are very thin shells made out of porcelain that fit over the front of a prepared tooth. Porcelain veneers are also applied to close unsightly gaps between teeth.
Begin With A Consultation
Before porcelain veneers are applied, Anthony Nguyen, DDS an expert of cosmetic dentistry in San Ramon will consult with you and help you decide what you want when it comes to having veneers. Your teeth will be examined to determine whether or not you are a candidate for porcelain veneers. The most common reasons to get veneers include:
- Slight crowding
- Uneven sized teeth
- Tooth Discoloration
- Spacing and gaps
- Chips or cracks
- Worn down teeth
Advanced Veneer Technology
After you decide to get veneers we have advanced technology that helps us make this process go smoothly. We use the CEREC procedure to fabricate the veneers. CEREC, also known as Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, allows us to restore teeth to their natural beauty. Using 3D images, this technology allows us to create and cement the veneers in one sitting in most cases.
Attaching The Veneers
Dr. Nguyen takes considerable care in making sure your veneers are the perfect fit and look for your smile. The process of attaching the veneers is performed carefully and methodically. The following steps explains the process:
- The veneer will be placed on the tooth to ensure a good color match.
- Both the veneer and the tooth will be adjusted for a perfect fit.
- A resin is placed on the veneer, and it’s positioned.
- The resin or cement is cured with a special light.
Any excess cement is removed.
After the veneers are attached, we will want you to return to our offices for follow-up visits to make sure that everything is going smoothly and as planned.
