Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley CA
We feel our best when we believe we look our best, and a confident, radiant smile plays a key role in that. But over time and because of various factors, our teeth can become stained or dingy. To combat this, many of our patients turn to professional teeth whitening. It’s a way to drastically whiten teeth in very little time, and the results are dazzling! But, unfortunately, whitening treatments don’t last forever because the teeth can become stained again in time. That’s why many people are turning to porcelain veneers for a longer-lasting white, bright smile. Read on as our Santa Cruz cosmetic dentist explains how we use veneers to permanently whiten teeth.
What are veneers?
Veneers are very thin, custom-made porcelain shells that cover aesthetic imperfections in the teeth, such as discoloration, cracks or chips. Applying veneers usually takes no more than two visits to our Scotts Valley dentist’s office — one for dental impressions used to create the veneers and the other to apply them to your teeth.
How do veneers whiten teeth?
Veneers can be placed on the surfaces of multiple teeth at once if you want a perfectly streamlined smile. Here’s why veneers are a popular choice among our patients for a permanently white smile:
- They’re customizable — Veneers are tailored to your desired level of whiteness. Our Los Gatos cosmetic dentist can even create the veneers to help straighten and reshape the appearance of your smile while also turning it pearly white!
- They’re stain-resistant — Porcelain veneers are resistant to staining, even with repeated exposure to coffee, tea, dark sodas, red wine and tobacco.
- Long-lasting results — With proper care, veneers can last 10-15 years or more, offering a durable alternative to repeated whitening treatments.
How do I care for veneers?
Maintaining your veneers couldn’t be simpler. Practice normal, strong oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily, and visit our Santa Cruz family dentist twice a year for routine checkups and cleanings.
