They can be applied a tooth at a time, which is generally how they’re priced, or as a full arch. Most patients, in consultation with their dentist, choose veneers for the number of teeth that are visible in their smile zone.
Veneers require some invasion, which means our Northridge cosmetic dentist must make some changes in your tooth anatomy to guarantee the best fit. However, veneers only cover the front of the tooth, instead of fitting over the entire structure like a crown.
The porcelain in veneers is high-quality, and can even mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. This produces an extremely lifelike effect, especially when the shade of the veneers is calibrated. In teeth with a darker shade, opaque cement is sometimes added to increase the light expectation.
Conventional ceramic can accommodate multiple colors and shades by a hand-layering process. Heat-pressed ceramic shapes the veneer using a mold, which limits color but allows the veneer to be glazed. Some dentists mill veneers on site, which expedites the process but guarantees your veneers will be more generically cut—from a single block of ceramic.
Our expert in porcelain veneers in Northridge is waiting for your call.
