The Secret to a Stunning Smile

Porcelain dental veneers are the key to a beautiful smile. They correct stained, chipped, or cracked teeth. The procedure is completed in only three appointments. In a blink of an eye, you will be flashing that perfect smile, feeling refreshed.

There are now new types of veneers that are better than the traditional ones. These branded types are guaranteed to correct dental flaws. The new veneers are thinner than the traditional ones and require little or no tooth preparation. They maintain the pearly, white color of the teeth in spite of continued intake of soda, coffee or tea which stain the teeth. They also last for about 10 to 15 years.

With these new types of veneers, there is no need to remove the enamel, so tooth sensitivity is reduced. They are also quite durable, for they are made of ceramic material that is strong enough to prolong its use.

The first step in a standard porcelain veneers burbank procedure is consulting with your dentist. The dentist evaluates your teeth and determines whether you should be treated with dental veneers. Dental veneers are not just for those with crooked teeth, but also for those with gaps or spaces between their teeth, worn enamel, uneven, recessed and yellowed teeth, irregularly shaped teeth, and teeth that are either too short or too long. During your consultation, your dentist will use cosmetic digital imaging to show you a visual picture of the end result.

Your dentist will also brief you on the types of porcelain veneers burbank available and recommend one that suits your needs. After discussing the options with you, your dentist removes one-half millimeter of enamel from the surface of the teeth and makes a molded impression of your teeth, which will be sent to the lab where the technicians make the porcelain veneers to match your smile.

As is the standard procedure, dentists in Burbank CA place temporary veneers to protect the teeth while the permanent veneers are being made in the lab. It usually takes one week before your permanent veneers are ready. Once they are set, your dentist removes the temporary veneers and then adds the permanent veneers to the surface of your natural tooth with dental cement. Moments later, you look in the mirror where you see your reflection wearing that stunning smile.
