Veneers in San Clemente, CA

dental veneers

If you want to improve your smile, dental veneers are a simple option. Veneers are thin coverings that are placed over the front (visible) part of the tooth. They look like natural teeth.

Veneers can be used to correct a wide range of dental issues, such as:

  • Teeth that are stained and can’t be whitened by teeth whitening
  • Chipped or worn teeth
  • Crooked or misshapen teeth
  • Uneven spaces or a large gap between the upper front teeth

Veneers are made of either porcelain or composite resin material. Dr. Asil will help you choose the material that is best for you. Each type of veneer has its own pros and cons.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers

Are veneers permanent?

Once the tooth enamel has been prepared (reduced) for a veneer, the process is not reversible. Veneers do last many years, but they may need replacement eventually due to wear, chipping, or shifting of the underlying tooth.

How long does it take to get veneers?

The process generally requires two visits. The first visit is for tooth preparation and impressions; the second visit, a short time later, is for bonding the custom‑made veneers to the teeth.

Who is a good candidate for veneers?

A good candidate has healthy teeth and gums, wants to correct cosmetic flaws (such as discoloration, small gaps, or worn-down teeth), and is not dealing with extensive structural damage or decay.

How should I care for veneers?

Treat them like natural teeth: brush at least twice a day, floss daily, avoid biting down on tough items (such as shells or nuts), and visit the dentist regularly for check-ups.

Will veneers look unnatural or fake?

When properly matched to your tooth shape and shade, veneers should blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They look quite natural and people can hardly recognise them.
