Teeth are durable, but far from indestructible. Accidents can leave them chipped. Years of coffee or smoking can stain them. And simply aging can wear them down. But, modern dentistry can rejuvenate teeth like never before with veneers.
Dr. Patel is a top-rated dentist in Anaheim for dental veneers. Our goal is to transform damaged teeth into beautiful bright smiles. Our cosmetic dentist often treats patients that have a variety of dental issues. Patients with chipped teeth or who want a better smile can be helped with veneers. Most patients are good candidates as long as they have a healthy tooth structure in place.
Cosmetic veneers are thin porcelain or ceramic shells that are placed over the target tooth. The color shade, shape, and size can be matched to your surrounding teeth. Each is custom made for your teeth. The result is a completely natural look that matches the rest of your teeth.
Receiving veneers is a straightforward process. The application of them is painless, and you see immediate results.
Dentists can use veneers for a variety of teeth problems patients have. Veneers can restore a bright appearance to your teeth. If any of your teeth are stained, they will instantly brighten your smile.
They can also serve to even out your smile. For example, veneers can close any tooth gaps. And, it’s easy to apply multiple veneers in one setting. Doing so can help make all your teeth uniform and tidy in their shape, sizes, and colors.
We understand how important it is to be confident in your smile. Just because veneers are a cosmetic procedure does not make them any less important. A healthy and confident smile can have a strong positive impact on your quality of life.
Getting cosmetic veneers is a multi-step process. During your first visit, teeth impressions are taken so that the veneers perfectly match your teeth. These impressions are then sent to a lab for creation.
The lab will generally take about a week to make your veneers. During this time, they work to ensure the size, shape, and color are made to the specific recommendations.
While waiting for these permanent veneers, you can receive a temporary one if need be. Dr. Patel prepares your tooth by removing small portions of the enamel.
Finally, when the permanent ones are ready, the dentist will place them on your teeth. All in all, the process is straightforward, quick, and convenient.
Most patients report feeling a little sore after their permanent veneers are placed. However, the soreness will gradually go away after a few days.
If the soreness becomes more than just discomfort, Dr. Patel will prescribe pain medication to help. Our dental office recommends soft foods during this recovery time to help things move along smoothly.
Our dental office will do our best to provide maximum comfort both during and after the procedure. That means, if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to call us.
Once you have your veneers, it is up to you to keep them in great shape. Dr. Patel will provide you with a full list of instructions on how to care for your new veneers.
Porcelain veneers, especially, are meant to be permanent. So, taking good care of them is essential to having a smile to be proud of for the years to come.
The good news is that caring for them is very similar to how you would care for the rest of your teeth. You don’t need any wild oral care routine that could become an inconvenience. Instead, for the most part, you’ll just want to maintain regular, healthy oral hygiene practices.
Most insurances consider veneers a cosmetic procedure, so there won’t be much coverage. Our office will be more than happy to check to see if your specific insurance has coverage.
At your Anaheim dentist, we understand that your insurance may or may not pay for the procedure, which is why we will work with both you and the insurance company. We want to ensure that you receive the best quality dental care that you need. Regardless of how much your insurance may be willing to pay. We have many payment solutions to help.
If the shape of your teeth has had a negative impact on your quality of life, veneers might be for you. Don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with us today. Dr. Patel and the staff at My Dentist Anaheim are looking forward to helping you achieve the smile you deserve.
