Veneers and dental implants are two of the most common dental treatments provided today. They treat different issues, but both improve the overall appearance of a smile. As a result, many people have both in their mouths.
Dental Implants
Dental implants consist of a titanium post inserted into the jawbone to act as the root for a missing tooth. They have the following features and benefits.
• Look and function like natural teeth
• Strong and durable, often lasting a lifetime
• Preserve bone and promote bone growth, maintaining the shape of the face
Veneers
Veneers are thin layers of porcelain that are placed on the visible side of teeth to correct minor defects and improve appearance. Some features and benefits of veneers include:
• Natural-looking
• Can cover almost any imperfection, including stains or discolorations, chipped or cracked teeth, misshapen or uneven teeth, and gaps between teeth
• Durable and long lasting, often lasting 15 years or longer
• Resistant to stains
• Short treatment time – they are normally placed in two visits
If you have missing teeth and also want veneers, give the implants priority since they preserve your bone. get implants first, and then proceed to veneers. Contact our Los Angeles porcelain veneer dentist to find the treatment plan that works best for you.
