Lopez Dental Care specializes in Smile Makeovers and sometimes creating a beautiful smile involves dental veneers. Veneers are custom-made “shells” that cover the front surfaces of your teeth. The shells are very thin and made from either porcelain or resin composite. The type of material used for your veneers depends on your teeth and gum health.

Veneers can be a good option for you if you have some of these problems:

•    Your teeth are worn down (not all the same length, for example)
•    Your teeth are chipped or broken
•    You have gaps between teeth
•    Your teeth are uneven or irregularly shaped.

To create an “even” appearance, we file off about a millimeter of enamel from your tooth on your first appointment. We will then take impressions of the teeth and have them sent to our lab to make the veneers. This “tooth mold” ensures that the veneer will fit properly once it’s applied. When you return to our office we bond the veneer onto your natural tooth so it looks and feels like a new tooth. 

Some of the advantages to getting veneers include giving your teeth an evenly spaced, bright appearance. And since they don’t stain, you won’t have to worry about polishing them. Finally, veneers do not require a lot of filing of your natural tooth. For teeth that are badly decayed or damaged however, you may be better served with a durable dental crown.

Getting veneers at Lopez Dental Care is essentially cosmetic procedure but a procedure that can give you a Hollywood smile without breaking the bank.
