Porcelain Veneers Questions

San Diego, La Jolla and Poway

San Diego Cosmetic Dentistry - Porcelain Veneers FAQWhat are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin sheets of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth, covering a wide variety of flaws and imperfections.

What can porcelain veneers do for me?

Porcelain veneers can correct the appearance of one or many dental problems, restoring the beauty of your smile without invasive procedures.

Porcelain veneers are sometime referred to as “instant orthodontics” because they can correct the appearance of crooked teeth in one office visit, without ever having to wear braces.

Porcelain veneers can cover:

  • Small chips and cracks
  • Small gaps
  • Slight crookedness
  • Discoloration
  • Unevenly shaped teeth

Do porcelain veneers look and feel real?

Yes. Our advanced technology allows us to perfectly match the color and shape of your natural teeth. The porcelain itself absorbs light in the same way that your natural tooth enamel does, so they look alive.

The veneers are a very thin shell, so they are not bulky, they feel fell like your natural teeth.

Will I have to give up coffee and tea to keep them from staining?

No. Porcelain is very resistant to staining, even if you drink coffee and tea, or smoke cigarettes.

Do I have to change my diet to keep them from getting chipped or broken?

No. Once the ultra-thin ceramic shell is bonded to your tooth it is very strong and resistant to chipping and cracking.

Will the procedure be painful?
