Cosmetic dentistry encompasses many different procedures and services available through Dr. Andrew Spath DDS of Newport Beach. One treatment used to disguise imperfections and restore a smile is veneers. Porcelain veneers are utilized to cover natural teeth that are stained, broken, or imperfect. The veneers are made extremely thin and are cemented over the front of teeth to make a subtle or dramatic change to the appearance of smiles.
Porcelain veneers are extremely popular because they are fast, affordable, beautiful, and versatile. They are appropriate for most patients, to be good candidates for veneer placement; patients must be free from periodontal disease and tooth decay. This can be confirmed during an examination and x-rays done at the dentist’s office. Then, patients can go about having their porcelain veneers made and placed to improve their smiles.
Porcelain veneers are made using impressions of the teeth. Dr. Andrew Spath, of Newport Beach, will prepare the teeth for placement by removing a very thin portion of the enamel. This allows the veneers to be added without adding bulk and to preserve the look of the natural smile. Impressions are sent to an outside ceramist to be made with the specifications set forth by the dentist, including the final shape and color. The veneers typically take one to two weeks for creation, and they are then sent to the dental practice for the final placement by Dr. Andrew Spath, DDS.
