Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley CA
Dental veneers are a convenient, non-invasive way to cover a multitude of imperfections in a smile, from cracks and chips to breaks, minor crookedness and discoloration. Many people, including Hollywood celebrities, are turning to veneers to create the perfect, most white and bright smile. But how do veneers work? What all is involved? Our cosmetic dentist in Santa Cruz is focusing today on how dental veneers can transform your smile, building upon your natural teeth, to help you have a Hollywood smile that you’re proud to show off.
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are wafer-thin, durable porcelain coverings for imperfect teeth. With translucent properties and a dentist’s ability to customize color and shading, porcelain veneers are the recommended choice of our cosmetic dentist in Scotts Valley to cover minor tooth imperfections.
Veneers can be used for teeth that are:
- Stained
- Chipped
- Cracked
- Broken
- Gapped
- Crooked
- Too short or small
Are veneers permanent?
To apply veneers, dentists must scrape off a bit of tooth enamel, so veneers are considered a permanent, non-reversible cosmetic tooth restoration procedure. While veneers are durable, they aren’t designed to last forever. With proper care, however, they can last beyond a decade.
How do I care for veneers?
Veneers are cared for exactly like natural teeth are. Our Scotts Valley cosmetic dentist recommends brushing your teeth — including any with veneers — twice daily and flossing at least once. And, of course, don’t skip your twice-annual dentist appointments for routine checkups and cleanings.
