How do you comprehensively correct a damaged smile? Some patients believe that only complex treatment can take care of multiple problems, like chipped teeth, severe staining, and inconsistent spacing. But with veneers from our Huntington Beach cosmetic dental office, you can benefit from a whole new smile through one treatment method.
The decision to pursue cosmetic dentistry is closely tied to feelings of confidence, wellness, and even overall health. If you are embarrassed about the way your teeth look, it may be time to consider a treatment that balances and reshapes your smile for better aesthetics. For some patients, veneers can even help to reinforce the strength of teeth to support improved dental health.
Veneers are versatile and can be made to a specific thickness or can be applied with white dental resin to achieve results.
At Noleen Dental, Dr. Nguyen typically recommends porcelain veneer therapy for patients who have deeply discolored dental enamel that whitening alone has been unable to reverse. By covering teeth with a thin layer of tooth-colored material, veneers are able to hide flaws like cracks or chips, so your smile looks completely repaired and healthy. With customized designed shape and size, veneers are also ideal for closing small spaces or repositioning slightly overcrowded teeth.
In most instances, preparing your smile for veneers requires etching the surface of teeth for better adhesion or removing a small amount of enamel (less than a millimeter) to ensure that your veneers look natural. Dr. Nguyen’s treatment options include:
Veneers are not a one-size-all treatment, which is why we offer different methods of transforming your smile to match your expectations. Resin veneers are typically the most economical choice but are only well-suited for patients with truly minor aesthetic flaws. Lumineers® and porcelain veneers are the longest lasting choices, with Lumineers® being thinner and typically requiring less tooth preparation or none at all. However, traditional porcelain veneers prove to be the most effective at correcting the largest range of dental problems. After teeth are prepared, impressions of your smile are taken and sent to a dental lab where your Lumineers® or porcelain veneers are created to fit your natural teeth.
At your second dental appointment, your beautiful new veneers are bonded in place to create a sparkling white smile that looks straighter, healthier, and more attractive.
We welcome new and existing patients to call our office with their questions about porcelain veneers or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Nguyen. The smile of your dreams is possible and achievable with customized cosmetic dentistry and porcelain veneers from Noleen Dental.
