Veneers in Riverside, CA

A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain custom-crafted to fit perfectly over the front surface of a tooth, effectively hiding any imperfections. At Riverside Tooth Co, they are designed to match the surrounding teeth in shape and color, making them virtually undetectable to others. Veneers are a trendy cosmetic dentistry choice because they offer a smile makeover that’s both effective and natural-looking.

Veneers are ideal for patients with minor chips or cracks in their front teeth and slightly crooked teeth who want to straighten their smile. Because they are custom-made for each patient, veneers are also an excellent option for patients who are unhappy with the size or shape of their natural teeth. 

Why Get a Veneer?

A veneer is a thin, tooth-colored shell placed on the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They can change a tooth's size, shape, color, and often multiple teeth at once! They also help to protect the surface of damaged teeth from further damage or decay. In some cases, veneers also serve a functional purpose by helping to correct bite alignment issues.

Veneers are made from porcelain and custom-made for each patient in a dental laboratory to fit your smile perfectly. Once in place, you can eat, speak, and usually drink with your veneers in place. Benefits of veneers include:

• They protect the surface enamel of the tooth from harm due to chips and cracks.
• They help to restore the appearance of one’s smile, making it look healthier and more vibrant overall.
• Veneers are stain resistant, which means patients don’t have to worry about the porous surface of their teeth becoming discolored over time.
• Patients can enjoy teeth that appear straighter and better aligned due to the customized design of each veneer.
• Their durability means patients can feel confident showing off their new smiles for years to come without worrying about needing replacements anytime soon.

Veneer Preparation Procedure

To prepare for veneer placement, your dentist will first remove a small amount of enamel from the surface of your tooth to make room for restoration. Once the tooth has been reshaped, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth to send to the lab, where your veneer will be custom fabricated. Sometimes, you may receive a temporary restoration while your permanent veneer is crafted. During this time, practicing good dental hygiene and maintaining your temporary restoration is essential. When your veneer arrives from the laboratory, we will check the fit and color before permanently bonding it to your prepared tooth. Finally, you will return to our office so we may review your bite and ensure that you are comfortable with your new smile’s appearance.
