Porcelain Veneers Hermosa Beach

Often, a smile make-over is possible by utilizing dental veneers. Teeth, which are visible during one’s smile, are prepared and veneered to achieve the desired smile. Veneers are facings that cover the external (visible) surface of the teeth. Veneers may be used to enhance smiles, correct minor misalignments and spacing, cover chips, repair minor fractured teeth and improve the esthetics of a tooth. With dental veneers, it is possible to change the color, shape and length of a tooth. Veneer preparations are usually minor and, at times, no preparation is required.

Veneers are composed of porcelain and/or composite material.

Composite: A composite veneer may be directly applied and bonded on the tooth or indirectly fabricated (in the laboratory) and later bonded to the tooth.

Porcelain: A porcelain veneer may only be indirectly fabricated and bonded to the tooth at a later appointment.
