Veneers Before & After in Culver City
Cosmetic Dentistry from South Bay Smiles
As people age, their teeth can become broken, cracked, or misshapen. Often, having crooked or broken teeth can cause people to become self-conscious about their appearance or cause emotional pain or distress. At South Bay Smiles in Culver City, expert dentist Dr. Matthew, DDS, MICOI, offers patients dental veneers—material that is placed over a tooth in order to correct and fix a smile!
Dental veneers are useful for people who have weakened or dull teeth. Veneers are made of thin layers of porcelain that are bonded onto the tooth, improving both the aesthetics of the tooth and a patient's confidence!
During a dental veneer bonding appointment, Culver City dentist Dr. Matthew, DDS, MICOI, will carefully remove some enamel from the tooth, onto which a veneer will be bonded. This is done in order to ensure that the veneer fits perfectly onto the tooth. Next, an impression of the tooth is taken, which is sent to a dental laboratory. At this laboratory, a unique veneer is created, perfectly suited and custom-made for each individual patient.
Once Dr. Matthew receives the dental veneers from the laboratory, he will bond them to the patient's tooth using a dental cement. Once the veneers are properly adjusted and positioned, the cement is exposed to a special light beam that quickly hardens the cement, giving patients a great, bright smile once more!
With proper oral hygiene and regularly scheduled visits to the dentist, dental veneers can last for a very long time. If you are interested in receiving porcelain veneers, Los Angeles dentist Dr. Matthew, DDS, MICOI, can help you! Please do not hesitate to call South Bay Smiles at (310) 670-0659 today!
