Veneers and Laminates

This is one way to quickly get that beautiful smile. Veneers and Laminates are a thin shell of porcelain or resin that is bonded to the surface of the teeth. This can change their shape, shade, and position to improve the cosmetics of your teeth and smile. They are also used to replace and restore any lost tooth structure where indicated.

Your dentist will do a complete examination of your teeth to determine if veneers are ideal for you. Veneers often provide the opportunity to dramatically transform the aesthetics of your teeth and smile.

Veneers can enhance the shape of your teeth, make your teeth as white as you want, and give you the smile you have always desired. Additionally, Veneers are bonded to your tooth structure, which gives them strength.

Since they are very thin, Veneers are considered one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available. Most of the time, very little or no tooth structure is removed before placing veneers. Ask your dentist how veneers can improve your smile.

What are teeth veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth, offering an ideal solution for enhancing your smile. They have gained popularity for their simplicity and versatility in improving the appearance of teeth. Veneers are a cosmetic dental procedure that can create a brighter, whiter smile with perfectly aligned and shapely teeth. While veneers are often used for cosmetic purposes, they can also address necessary health concerns.

Today's porcelain veneers have a translucent quality that provides a natural look, resulting in a beautiful and seamless smile. The material is durable and perfectly suited to the demands of your teeth. Placing custom veneers requires technical skill and attention to detail, which is why Valley View Dental designs each case individually to enhance the unique characteristics of each patient's smile.

Whether your teeth are discolored, misaligned, or misshapen, veneers can address a variety of cosmetic concerns to give you the smile you desire.

As people age, their teeth naturally experience wear and tear, leading to cracks, chips, and an uneven appearance in older teeth.

Enamel Wear: The thin, tough white layer that protects your teeth (enamel) can wear down, lose its shine, and become discolored as time goes on.

Uneven Teeth: Uneven length or width of teeth may be caused by teeth grinding or normal wear and tear.

Genetics can play a role in causing some individuals to be born with unusual tooth appearance or increased spacing between their teeth, which may become more pronounced as they get older.

Do dental veneers resemble natural teeth?

When applied to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are almost undetectable and highly resistant to stains from coffee, tea, or cigarettes. They are durable and have a natural, white appearance that is superior to other dental restoration options.

What is the durability of porcelain veneers?

With proper maintenance, porcelain veneers can enhance your smile for more than ten years. Dr. Khemani guarantees that your veneers will be made from top-quality porcelain and secured with the latest and most reliable materials on the market. Avoid using your veneers for tasks like opening or cutting objects to extend their lifespan. In the event of accidental damage, it is often possible to replace only the affected veneer.
