Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic restoration that can be used to cover up stains, chips, cracks, and gaps in your teeth. These issues may not pose an actual health concern, but they can seriously detract from the aesthetics of your smile. Many patients prefer getting veneers when possible because they are less invasive than other procedures. In order to start the process, you will first need to schedule a consultation with our expert in porcelain veneer procedure in Pasadena.
You will first be given an evaluation to make sure veneers are the best choice. You will work together with our dentist to design your veneers. The color, shape, and size can all be customized so that they blend in beautifully with the rest of your teeth. During your next appointment, your teeth will need to be prepared to receive the veneers. This involves removing about 0.5mm of enamel so that the veneers do not bulge out past the other teeth. Impressions will be taken of the altered teeth, and these will be sent to a lab for your veneers to be designed.
During your last appointment with our dentist, your veneers will be put into place, and we can make any minor alteration so that they look absolutely perfect.
