Dental Veneers Specialist in Los Angeles, CA

Veneers are thin sheets of natural tooth-colored material that are placed on the outer surface of the teeth; they are used to provide a more natural-looking appearance, free from imperfections such as tooth staining. They are custom-made to match the appearance and texture of the individual’s natural teeth, so they cover up any cosmetic flaws, such as discolorations or misshapenness. They can also be used to improve the look and feel of a person’s smile, so they are more confident showing off their pearly whites. Because their primary goal is to improve the appearance of discolored, stained, chipped, or otherwise damaged teeth, they are considered a cosmetic dental procedure.

Le Chic Dentist offers two types of veneers, porcelain, and composite:

• Porcelain Veneers — Porcelain veneers are thin sheets of porcelain that are placed on the surface of the teeth to change their shape and improve their appearance. The dental technician will remove the old dental enamel using a scalpel to create a smooth, even surface to which the new porcelain veneer can adhere.

• Composite Veneers — Composite veneers are another common type of artificial tooth restoration used to enhance the appearance of a natural tooth or teeth. These veneers are typically less expensive than porcelain veneers; they may also be more prone to staining and do not typically last as long as porcelain veneers. However, they are easier to repair.

The procedure of placing veneers is often an irreversible process because a thin layer of tooth enamel is removed to fit the shell when it is placed; this lack of enamel would otherwise leave the teeth vulnerable to decay, wear and tear, and sensitivity to temperatures. The life of a set of veneers depends on the material, as well as oral hygiene and lifestyle factors. On average, porcelain veneers last around 25 years; composite veneers have longevity closer to seven to 10 years. Whereas porcelain veneers are more likely to need replacing when damaged or compromised, composite veneers can be touched up and easily fixed, despite their shorter lifespan.

Dental veneers provide a long list of benefits; even though they are typically irreversible (as mentioned above), the majority of patients enjoy the advantages veneers provide and, when the time arises, opt to have them replaced without question. The benefits of dental veneers include:

• Veneers cosmetically repair teeth simply and easily
