Correct Cosmetic Issues with Your Smile Using Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers have rightly earned the reputation of being one of the most reputable procedures to brighten smiles. Their popularity is due to their versatility in fixing multiple cosmetic flaws and their ability to replicate the lifelike appearance of the teeth. Of course, the success of veneers depends on the dentist’s artistry to expertly design and fabricate veneers that fit your smile. At I-Rise Dental, we tick these boxes and more courtesy of the leadership of Dr. Anu Mohan — one of the most sought-after cosmetic dentists in California.

What problems can dental veneers fix?

Dental veneers are wafer-thin shells of porcelain affixed to the front teeth to disguise cosmetic dental flaws. Dental veneers do great things in dentistry, and here are the issues they can help correct.

  • Closing unsightly gaps
  • Fixing slightly crooked teeth
  • Covering up severely stained teeth
  • Altering the appearance of oddly shaped or sized teeth
  • Restoring chipped or cracked teeth
  • Lengthening your crown to correct a gummy smile
  • Heavily worn down teeth.

As you can see, with veneers your smile can have a radical makeover. Dr. Mohan can create a symmetrical, photo-ready smile with minimal work, thanks to porcelain veneers or using similar materials based on your individual biology. Since Veneers are a more conservative approach than crowns, please call I-Rise Dental today at (858) 465-8717 to see if you would be a good candidate for Veneers.

Before & After Results of Patients

The process of getting dental veneers

The first step during veneer treatment is booking a consultation with a cosmetic dentist like Dr. Mohan. After we establish you are a good candidate for veneers, we have to prep one or more teeth to create space for the on coming veneers . We then create molds of your teeth which are then used by a state-of-the-art dental laboratory to design your veneers. While the lab is working on your veneers, we will install temporary veneers to protect your smile.

When your veneers are ready, you will book another appointment for placement. Before permanent installation, we will inspect the veneers to ensure they look flawless. Once you are happy with the design and fit, we will use dental cement to bond these veneers, permanently on your teeth.

Dental Veneers

Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.

Frequently asked questions about dental veneers

At I-Rise Dental Boutique of Del Mar, California, patients who visit with our provider, Dr. Anu Mohan, will often ask about porcelain veneers as a way to enhance and rejuvenate the appearance of their smile. Her office can help in answering any questions patients may have. In fact, below are just some of the more frequently asked questions regarding veneers that are heard by her and her team.

What are porcelain veneers?

Dr. Anu Mohan of I-Rise Dental Boutique describes porcelain veneers as thin, custom-made shells placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. They are made from a tooth-colored material and can be used to address a variety of cosmetic issues, including discoloration, chipped or misshapen teeth, and gaps between teeth.

What problems can dental veneers fix?

Dental veneers are a very versatile cosmetic dental treatment that can address several issues, including:

• Discoloration. Porcelain veneers can cover up discolored or stained teeth that may not be effectively improved with teeth whitening treatments.
• Cracked or chipped teeth. Veneers can effectively conceal minor chips and cracks, restoring the appearance of your natural teeth.
• Gaps between teeth. Veneers are used to close small gaps between teeth, creating a more consistent, uniform, and aesthetically pleasing smile.
• Misaligned or uneven teeth. Porcelain veneers can be customized to improve the shape and alignment of your natural teeth, giving you a straighter and more symmetrical smile.

How long will my porcelain dental veneers last?

With proper care and maintenance, our quality porcelain veneers can last for many years. They are strong and durable, but they might need to be replaced eventually because of wear and tear. It’s critical that you practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, as well as avoiding habits like teeth grinding that can damage the veneers.

What alternative options might I consider?

If porcelain veneers are not the right option for you, there are a few alternative treatments that can achieve similar results. One popular option is composite bonding, which involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. This treatment is less invasive and more affordable than porcelain veneers, but it may not last as long.

How do I know if veneers are a solution for my smile?

Dr. Anu Mohan of I-Rise Dental Boutique understands that the various cosmetic treatments available can make it difficult to choose the solution most appropriate for one’s smile.
