Dental veneers are a popular option in cosmetic dentistry for several reasons. In this blog, your dentist shares the top seven and discusses candidacy and care.
Dental veneers are thin shells of durable porcelain, custom-designed to match the natural appearance of your smile. Your dentist fixes these cosmetic restorations to the fronts of teeth.
Why Patients in Glendale Choose Veneers
1. Drastically Improved Smile Aesthetics
Dental veneers deliver a Hollywood-caliber smile. Dr. Kim custom-designs each veneer to match your natural teeth in shape, size, and shade so the result looks natural, never fake.
2. Superior Stain Resistance
Porcelain veneers resist stains and discoloration. That means your morning coffee and evening glass of red wine will not dull your new smile the way they can with natural enamel.
3. Impressive Durability and Strength
Dental veneers are thin but strong. With proper care, porcelain veneers last 10 to 15 years, making them a smart long-term investment in your smile.
4. Minimally Invasive Procedure
Unlike dental crowns, your dentist does not need to cut down neighboring teeth. Veneers require only a small amount of enamel removal from the front surface of the treated tooth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
5. Boosted Confidence and Self-Esteem
A symmetrical, even smile changes more than your appearance. Patients report feeling more confident in job interviews, social settings, and everyday interactions after completing veneer treatment with Dr. Kim.
6. Versatility
Veneers conceal most cosmetic tooth imperfections in a single treatment, including chips, cracks, staining, minor gaps, and uneven tooth length. If you have multiple concerns, veneers address all of them at once.
7. Easy to Maintain
Brush and floss at least twice a day and continue to visit Dr. Kim every six months for professional cleanings. Your veneers require no special products or routines beyond good daily hygiene.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Veneers?
Your initial consultation includes an oral health assessment, general health history, and conversation with the dentist. This visit helps us determine your candidacy for dental veneers. You’ll also learn more about costs and what to expect with treatment. We schedule plenty of time to answer your questions.
Fortunately, most patients are good candidates for cosmetic dentistry.
Veneer Care and Upkeep
Dental veneer care is simple because you treat them like your natural teeth. Brush and floss at least twice a day and visit the dentist every six months for checkups and professional cleanings.
If you damage or lose a veneer, contact us as soon as possible. Because Dr. Kim removes a small amount of enamel before placement, you should consider your veneers a permanent treatment and protect them accordingly.
