SCOTTS VALLEY, SANTA CRUZ, CA
Smiling is an instantaneous and effective way to communicate with others. Studies show that smiling people tend to be happier, enjoy a fulfilling social life, go further in their careers, and develop better relationships with others. However, when your smile is discolored, uneven, gapped, or damaged, it can send the wrong message. Therefore, our Scotts Valley cosmetic dentists at Ebrahimian Integrative Dentistry share on the blog today how to get an attractive smile in Scotts Valley so that you can regain lost confidence and thrive in your work and life.
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are a non-invasive dental treatment that can restore your smile aesthetics, giving you a natural-looking healthy smile. The thin custom shells are porcelain or composite, stain-resistant, and color adjustable to suit your surrounding tooth shade. Our Scotts Valley cosmetic dentists explain that because veneers attach to the front of your teeth, a small amount of tooth enamel must get removed to keep your smile in line. We will install temporary veneers until your permanent porcelain veneers arrive from the lab.
Dental veneers are an extremely effective treatment for patients with imperfect-looking teeth or gapped, stained, or crooked teeth. The results are natural, and no one will be able to tell that you had any work done. Whether you choose porcelain or composite veneers, the material is custom designed and chosen in a shade that matches your existing teeth. Or, if you prefer, a whiter shade can be chosen to give your smile a whiter appearance overall. Dental veneers can last decades with proper oral health care and regular checkups.
How long does it take to complete the veneer process?
During your initial consultation, our Scotts Valley cosmetic dentists who offer veneers will conduct an exam to determine if
they are the right option for you. Patients who choose porcelain veneers will have impressions taken of their teeth that are sent to the dental lab so that the veneers arrive perfectly sized. Therefore, porcelain veneers require a two-week time frame between your initial appointment and receiving your final veneers.
On the other hand, composite veneers are hand-crafted in our Scotts Valley dental office by expertly trained cosmetic dentists. For patients who need immediate results, composite veneers are the best choice as they can leave the office with a brand new smile the same day. Therefore, composite veneers provide a one-day treatment option.
