Riverside, CA, dentist offers porcelain veneers

Recently, we have been discussing the many types of cosmetic treatments available for our patients. When it comes to making improvements to your smile, it’s important to find the option that best suits your needs. Some patients may benefit from a simple whitening treatment, while others may need an option that can address several concerns at once. In today’s blog, your Riverside, CA, dentist is here to discuss the benefits of porcelain veneers.

You Can Improve Several Smile Concerns

Porcelain veneers can be used to address a variety of appearance concerns, from minor chips on your tooth’s surface, to teeth that are smaller than the others. Before you are able to make this improvement, you will first need a consultation with your dentist to ensure you are a good candidate for this option. It’s important that your teeth and gums are healthy before making these changes to your smile. If you have signs of tooth decay, these will need to be treated first, otherwise the veneers will not be able to stay in place. Patients experiencing other problems, such as periodontal disease, bruxism, TMJ disorder, or other concerns, will need to have these treated first. Cosmetic treatments focus on the appearance of your smile and cannot repair damage.

Dental Porcelain Is Durable And Stain-Resistant

Veneers are made of thin, tooth-shaped porcelain shells that cover the front of your pearly whites. This material is highly durable, stain-resistant, and can last upwards of ten years with proper care. You will be able to chew as usual, speak, and have normal function to your smile without worrying about them becoming damaged. A small amount of your natural tooth will be removed first before the shells can be added. Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create the precise veneers for your smile. Then, they will be cemented in place, and you can show off your improved look.

You Can Maintain Them By Following Your Usual Oral Hygiene Routine

One benefit of porcelain veneers is that they do not require additional maintenance. You will follow your regular oral hygiene routine to keep your natural teeth and gums below them in good health. Other cosmetic treatments, such as professional teeth whitening, may require another session every few years to keep your teeth vibrant.
