Process for Porcelain Veneers

Many people have made the decision that hiding the imperfections of their teeth is best accomplished with porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are wafer thin shells bonded to your natural teeth to address several dental issues. Experienced cosmetic dentist Dr. Sands in Beverly Hills uses porcelain veneers to correct:

• Discoloration and stains
• Chipped teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Widely spaced teeth
• Discolored fillings

Porcelain veneers are custom-fitted for your teeth and are not mass produced by a factory. The porcelain veneers process is painless and can be accomplished in two or three visits.

Veneers Process

• After consulting with Dr. Sands about your goals and expectations, your teeth are prepared by having a small fraction (less than a millimeter) of your natural tooth enamel buffed away. This will make room for your porcelain veneers.
• A mold is made of your teeth so that your custom-fitted veneers will fit properly. This is done at Dr. Sands in-house lab where the porcelain veneers will be developed.
• Using a special light, Dr. Sands places your porcelain veneers.
• The result will be whiter and straighter teeth, giving you more self-confidence. The porcelain veneers can last years if taken care of properly.
