Why Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are a versatile cosmetic restoration that can dramatically change the look of your smile. Unlike other options, veneers correct cosmetic issues. Meaning they are great for people who have healthy smiles but lack confidence due to the look of their teeth.
Change the Shape of Your Teeth
Some people feel their teeth are too small or narrow. This problem can make people feel hopeless, as there doesn’t seem to be much a dentist can do without removing teeth. Veneers can cover these misshapen teeth easily by fixing the cosmetic issue without invasive oral surgery (read more here).
Fix Cosmetic Issues Quickly
In addition to size and shape problems, some people are unhappy with the natural color of their teeth. Some others may have gaps or alignment problems but do not want the drawn-out process of orthodontics. Veneers are a great alternative as they can be placed in only a couple of weeks instead of taking years with braces.
Easy, Surgery-Free Process
Dental veneers are a surgery-free option. Veneers are installed using simple, outpatient procedures. The result is solid and functional natural teeth without cutting or drilling. There is virtually no recovery time needed afterward! To learn more click here.
What are the Different
Types of Veneers?
There are two general types of veneers, composite and porcelain. Composite veneers are made of composite resin and are placed in one day. Many dental offices tout same-day procedures and do in-office milling, where veneers are made on the spot.
However, while much cheaper, composite veneers aren’t as strong, stain-resistant, long-lasting, or realistic looking as porcelain veneers. Additionally, they aren’t successful at correcting moderate to severe cosmetic flaws.
Porcelain is a far more robust material than composite resin. Well-maintained porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years, compared to the 5 to the 7-year average lifespan of composites. It’s essential to consider this tradeoff if you’re thinking of having veneers placed.
Porcelain Veneers in Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, & Torrance
At MDCS, we use porcelain veneers crafted at a specialized, high-end Beverly Hills dental lab by master ceramists. Since they can be shaped and shaded to match your surrounding teeth and are hand-layered to catch the light just as a natural tooth would, they are the most lifelike restorations available and seamlessly blend in with your smile.
Composite can’t match the quality of porcelain, and we believe it’s impossible to meet our standards of excellence with in-office milling. In addition to being vastly superior in appearance, porcelain veneers last much longer, are more robust, resist stains more effectively, can address moderate and severe dental issues, and fit perfectly to your unique self.
Placing porcelain veneers is a minimal-prep procedure to preserve more of your natural tooth structure, which is always one of our main goals. For the most lasting, natural, beautiful results, we always recommend porcelain veneers.
