Dental Veneers

Besides ridiculous amounts of money, what do Jennifer Lawrence, Christiano Ronaldo, and Cardi B have in common? The answer is that they all have smiles brightened by dental veneers. This cosmetic dental treatment is excellent for concealing numerous flaws on the surface of your front-facing teeth.

Dental veneers are:

  • Personalized – We design and have these restorations precision-crafted just for you.
  • Durable – The high-quality porcelain in dental veneers doesn’t decay, resists stains, and lasts a decade or longer.
  • Natural looking – The translucent qualities of porcelain are very similar to tooth enamel.

To create a seamless fit, we adjust your tooth and will have your veneer placed in two or three visits. You will maintain your dental veneer as you do your natural teeth, so they don’t require any special care other than the same protection you should extend to your natural teeth, such as wearing a mouthguard during sports or physical activity.

The Porcelain Veneer Process in Pacifica, CA

Before you can receive a dental veneer, we will ensure your tooth enamel is healthy and intact. Any tooth decay or cavities should be resolved first, and we can discuss all your options before we decide whether a dental veneer is suitable for you. Since our team can offer so many choices, we are confident that together we can select what is ideal for your needs.

Once you choose one or more porcelain veneers, we work with your tooth enamel so your new veneers will fit perfectly. Then we take an impression of each tooth and match your natural teeth’s shade of white, so your veneer won’t stand out against the rest of your smile.

Then between visits, we send your tooth impressions to a trusted dental lab where they create your veneers. Finally, you will return for a follow-up appointment where our dentists check your veneers fit, adjust them where necessary and then bond them securely to your prepared tooth.

Porcelain Dental Veneers Are Long-Lasting

One question many people ask is how long porcelain veneers last. First, a dental veneer from Pacific Coast Dental is made from extremely dense porcelain ceramic material that is a step above many other restoration materials. Because they’re fabricated as a single piece of ceramic, they can resist many of the forces that might damage different types of dental restorations.

If you’re careful to avoid risky habits like chewing ice or other hard materials, and you don’t use your teeth as a vice-grip or plyers, then your dental veneer can last ten to twenty years and look amazing the entire time.
