San Diego Porcelain Veneers

1.) I have chips from grinding my teeth.  Am I a good candidate for San Diego porcelain veneers?

Yes, veneers can restore your teeth to look like they originally did or better.  Veneers can also be used to reshape and make your teeth look straighter in just 1 week!

 

2.) Do you have to shave down my tooth?

Not if we are closing a gap or covering stains. If you want to straighten your teeth with veneers then removing some enamel is necessary.

 

3.) If I want only 1 or 2 veneers can you match the shade of my other teeth?

Yes, I send my patients to my local laboratory in San Diego for a professional shade evaluation by the ceramist who makes the veneer.

 

4.) I have bleached my teeth many times but they are never white enough for me. Are veneers a good option?

Yes, with San Diego porcelain veneers we can cover the tooth with a very thin veneer and give you a very bright white smile.

 

5.) Can you bleach my veneers?
No, the shade of porcelain veneers cannot be changed once they are cemented on your teeth. This is why it its best to bleach your natural teeth first that are not veneered, and then have your veneers made to match.

 

6.) Are veneers strong and how often do I need to replace them?

Veneers are very strong. If you use them normally they can last indefinitely.  However, people who have damaged their natural teeth from grinding can just as easily damage their veneers. In this case a night guard is always recommended.
