There are many porcelain veneers Los Angeles dentists who are skilled and well equipped to handle such an advanced dental procedure. It may require a few visits to the dentist to incorporate a porcelain veneer as there is a reduction of tooth done before placing the veneer.

Veneers are slightly different from crowns; veneers allow the tooth shape, size and position to be altered along with the color. Porcelain veneers are a wonderful option to restore bad or uneven teeth for a greater smile.

Facts on veneers

There is a need to reduce the original tooth by about 0.5mm; hence, this is a non-reversible dental treatment. Patients need not consider using a local anesthetic if they are not particularly sensitive to pain or anxiety when on a veneer treatment.

There is a laboratory timeframe for the porcelain veneer fabrication of a week or so depending on the lab’s schedule. Hence, patients would need to return to the dentist for a fitting. There is no temporary restoration of the tooth as the tooth is minimally reduced.

Patients on veneer treatment may experience a higher sensitivity to hot and cold due to the small removal of enamel from the tooth. However, this sensitivity should disappear with the veneer placement.

The second dental visit is to fit the veneer laminate which would take a longer time. The veneer laminates are inserted using a light sensitive resin that hardens quickly using white light.

The porcelain veneers are very strong with normal functioning through a normal diet. However, care should be exercised with porcelain veneers as porcelain material has powerful strength for crushing; yet, its tensile strength is weak. Patients with veneers should avoid possible foods that can twist the laminate such as opening shelled nuts with their teeth, eating jelly apples or chewing bones.

Veneer maintenance

Porcelain veneers can be maintained easily through regular brushing and flossing. This is highly recommended as it enhances oral hygiene. One can use a non-abrasive tooth paste. This good maintenance practice encourages a longer and more durable use of the veneers.

A normal diet is recommended for the active use of the porcelain veneers except for foods that would bend or twist the veneer laminates.
