Veneers in Glendale CA

woman smiling with veneers in Glendale CAIt is said that your smile is what people remember about you. Do you feel like your smile is warm and draws people to you? Or do you have dental imperfections that make you want to hide your teeth in public situations?

All smiles are warm and attractive, but most of us have issues with our teeth that we would prefer to change. Whether it's a chip or a tooth that's severely stained, porcelain veneers may be just the answer you've been looking for to improve your smile.

Porcelain Veneers in Glendale CA

Veneers in Glendale are a popular cosmetic dental treatment for patients of many ages. Whether your teeth are chipped, discolored, or slightly misaligned, placing veneers onto your existing teeth immediately creates a healthier, more attractive looking smile that looks completely natural. Having veneers placed also fits your busy lifestyle – in most cases, Dr. Kim, your cosmetic dentist in Glendale, can transform your smile with veneers in just two or three appointments at our dental office.

These wafer-thin, cosmetic restorations hide a variety of cosmetic problems. Using veneers, we can:

  • Close spaces between teeth
  • Repair chips, decay, and worn teeth
  • Elongate or reshape teeth
  • Hide crooked teeth
  • Whiten teeth that are stained brown and yellow
  • Achieve ideal tooth shape for oral health

Would you like to get an idea of how your new veneers will look when they're finished? We'll create a wax mockup that we can place in your mouth so you can see the results before we order your new veneers. At that time, we'll also make any adjustments so that your new smile will meet all your expectations.

However, if you grind or clench your teeth, you may not be a good candidate for veneers, as these actions may cause the veneers to chip or crack. Dr. Kim can help you decide if porcelain veneers are right for you and, if needed, suggest alternatives that will get you closer to your goal of a beautiful smile.

Porcelain VeneersA Cosmetic Solution That Fits Your Unique Smile

Porcelain veneers look like natural teeth, enhance the appearance of your enamel, and blend easily with your smile.

We're experts in placing veneers that look natural and never "fake" or "flat." Your dentist in Glendale will design the shape and shade of your veneers to suit you individually. Thanks to Dr. Kim's nearly 20 years of cosmetic dentistry experience, you can be confident that he knows how to help you get the most out of veneer treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

woman smiling | dentist glendale caIf you are considering making changes to the appearance of your smile, two options to consider are porcelain veneers and dental bonding. Both of these options can help to eliminate imperfections such as:

  • Gaps between teeth
  • Stains or discoloration
  • Chipping or fractures
  • Irregularly shaped teeth
  • Excessive wear

Finding Your Right Cosmetic Solution

Dental bonding utilizes composite resin, which is bonded directly to your tooth. This is the same material used for tooth-colored fillings, so it can also be customized to match your teeth. Bonding is non-invasive and tends to be less expensive than other cosmetic procedures.

Veneers are thin layers of porcelain designed and customized to fit over your tooth. A small amount of enamel is removed so the veneer can fit over your tooth and it is bonded onto it. Veneers can also be custom shaded, and they are stain-resistant, which means they don't discolor at the rate of a natural tooth.

The most significant difference between veneers and dental bonding is that porcelain veneers can change the size, shape, and shade of your teeth allowing you to design the smile you've always wanted. Think "Hollywood" smile.

Woman smiling | Dental veneers in Glendale CAPorcelain dental veneers allow us to help patients achieve a beautiful smile by correcting cosmetic flaws. But it’s hard to say exactly how long a veneer will last for any particular patient. A very general estimate is anywhere between 7 and 20 years. However, this is largely dependent on the individual.

Longevity of Veneers

Dental porcelain is very strong and won’t really wear out during your lifetime. Porcelain veneers, when they are done correctly, don’t wear. They’re bonded securely to the surface of your tooth, and, even though they’re super thin, their strength is derived from your teeth.

There are a number of things that can affect the longevity of your veners. Biting down on hard or crunchy foods may chip an edge. If you see a different dentist who uses power polishing equipment, the surface of the veneers can become rough and porous, allowing the porcelain to stain very easily. A veneer can also become chipped or scratched from improper brushing or flossing techniques.

Smile Makeovers in Glendale

All these things affect the lifespan of your veneers. It’s also important to remember that the veneer isn’t a living thing but your tooth is, and its condition may change.

Please call our Glendale office for more information about veneers.
