I'm Self-Conscious of My Teeth: Can Porcelain Veneers Help?

When you’re self-conscious of your teeth, something as simple as smiling becomes stressful. At Pioneer Dental Group, leading cosmetic dentistry specialist Dr. Behzad Binafard leads a talented team in creating beautiful, confidence-boosting smiles in our Norwalk, California, office. 

We understand how important it is to feel proud of your smile, and we can help you get there with porcelain veneers. Whether you're dealing with stained, chipped, or uneven teeth, veneers can provide a natural-looking and long-lasting solution.

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made panels that fit on the front of the teeth. They improve the appearance of your teeth by covering cosmetic imperfections. In addition, veneers can improve tooth function in some cases.

Because they’re high-quality porcelain, veneers are both durable and stain-resistant, making them an ideal choice for long-lasting smile enhancement.

Can veneers correct my specific smile concerns?

If you’re embarrassed about your smile, porcelain veneers might be the perfect solution. Some common dental concerns that veneers can help with include:

Discoloration

Veneers can cover the types of stains that are resistant to teeth whitening treatments. For example, intrinsic tooth stains under the surface of the teeth. These types of stains are often caused by factors like medication. 

Chips and cracks

Chips and cracks are relatively minor damage, but they can significantly detract from the appearance of your teeth and may leave you more vulnerable to tooth decay. Veneers can restore a smooth, natural appearance while also helping protect your teeth at the weak points.

Gaps between teeth

Veneers can be used to close small gaps between teeth and create a more uniform smile. In addition, veneers may help prevent food from getting stuck between the teeth. 

Misaligned or uneven teeth

Without the need for braces, veneers can give the illusion of straighter, more even teeth.

The veneers process

Getting porcelain veneers is a simple process that usually involves two visits. During the first visit, we lightly buff the tooth enamel, creating space for your new veneers. Our team creates impressions of your teeth, and our on-site lab uses that information to craft veneers perfectly fitted to your teeth. 

At the second visit, we apply a powerful dental cement to bond the veneers to your teeth. We carefully adjust them to ensure a comfortable and natural fit. 

Once the veneers are in place, they can last for many years with proper care, giving you a smile you can feel proud of.

Reclaim your smile and confidence

Porcelain veneers are an excellent option for anyone who wants to improve their smile and feel more confident. Whether you’re looking to address cosmetic concerns or simply want a brighter, more polished smile, veneers can make a significant difference in how you look and feel.
