It can cause patients to feel very self-conscious about their appearance when meeting other people. Beverly Hills, California, area patients can take the time to learn about this cosmetic dentistry solution for an imperfect smile.

Understanding how dental veneers work

Dental veneers are essentially very thin shells made of porcelain that are bonded onto the front surface of a tooth to cover imperfections. This restoration will last many years before it needs to be replaced as long as patients take good care in protecting them and cleaning them. It is a more desirable option than alternatives such as composite resin bonding, which is susceptible to staining and is intended as a more short-term solution. Dental veneers are custom-made to match the patient’s smile in shape, size, and color and are natural-looking enough that others are often unaware that cosmetic dental work had been done.

What are dental veneers used for?

There are many situations in which a dental veneer can improve the appearance of the smile. These restorations are commonly used to:

• Close gaps and large spaces between the front teeth
• Whiten teeth that have severe discoloration or staining
• Address irregularly shaped or unusually short teeth
• Correct the look of a crooked or misaligned tooth
• Restore teeth that are worn, broken, or chipped
• Cover cracks or other imperfections on a tooth
