Making over your smile in just one visit with advanced porcelain veneers

Veneers are like a modern dentist’s “magic wand” – they truly can make imperfections in your smile disappear! And, thanks to our onsite capabilities at Advanced Dental in Aliso Viejo, California, Dr. Chitra Tiruveedula can make over your smile with porcelain veneers in just one visit.

“Must-knows” about veneers

Veneers are thin “facings” or shells of dental ceramic (porcelain) applied to the front surfaces of teeth. Once bonded or secured, they cover up cosmetic concerns on the teeth that were formerly noticeable in the smile.

Treatable conditions

Veneers may be applied and secured to disguise many common cosmetic concerns. They are appropriate for patients with otherwise healthy mouths who do not like the look of their smiles due to:

• Gaps between the teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Small cracks
• Wear and tear and other surface imperfections
• Very yellow, discolored, or stained teeth
• Teeth that are overly pointy or otherwise irregularly shaped
• Teeth that are too short and do not look in proportion with the other teeth
• Other modest cosmetic and spacing issues that do not require more extensive restorative treatments

The Advanced Dental difference

At other dentists’ offices, it would require at least two appointments to get your dream smile. This is not the case at our office in Aliso Viejo, California. By eliminating the “middle-man” (the outside lab), we can make veneers and restorations such as inlays, onlays, and crowns while you wait in just one visit. The process involves removing a very small amount of natural enamel to allow the super-thin veneers to fit on top of the tooth properly.

We then use advanced CEREC software and technologies to collect information about your tooth and mouth, which is then used to design and fabricate your veneers in-house. This system also allows for utmost precision and quality control. Before you know it, your permanent veneers are ready (no need for temporary ones!). Dr. Tiruveedula then secures each veneer to the teeth using advanced bonding agents and techniques.

With good care, these veneers can last many years, if not decades. To learn more about “one visit porcelain crowns,” call us at (949) 289-9993.

Video Transcript

Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.
