For anyone who knows the embarrassment of tooth discoloration, the new forms of dental restoration available seem like a godsend. Patients looking to avoid dental crowns or teeth whitening are surprised by how easily dental veneers are applied. Our expert in dental veneer in Beverly Hills is dedicated to brightening your smile and restoring your confidence. 

Porcelain veneers are thin shells that are placed over the front of your teeth to restore their shade and cover up their unsightly appearance. Patients may also decide on veneers as a solution to fix minor gaps, chips, and misalignments. Before our dentist applies your veneers, she will remove a thin layer of existing enamel. This is done so that the veneers will adhere properly to your natural smile. Veneers are quite durable and stain resistant, so you can expect them to last for several years. However, it is still important to maintain good dental hygiene and attend regularly scheduled teeth cleanings. Many patients with veneers get them polished every few months to preserve their beautiful appearance.

It is safe to say that with the proper care, your new veneers will last for approximately 10-15 years. Contact our dentist with any questions you have regarding veneers or to schedule an appointment.
