Porcelain Veneers in Los Angeles

Have you spent several years feeling insecure about your flawed teeth? If chips, cracks, or discoloration cause you to feel self-conscious, your cosmetic dentist can transform your smile in just one day with porcelain veneers in Los Angeles. At Westside Dental Associates, we have the solution you need to love the smile that you see in the mirror.

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are custom-made thin shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. Since they are made from porcelain, they closely look like your enamel to provide natural-looking results. In addition, it allows them to be made thinner than traditional veneers, so less of your tooth’s enamel is removed during the bonding process. This not only leaves more of your tooth’s structure intact, but also allows the procedure to be minimally invasive.

In the past, it required a couple of different appointments to complete the process. Not anymore. Dr. Les Latner embraces the latest technology to allow you to get the smile of your dreams in just one day.

After your teeth are cleaned and prepared by removing a small amount of enamel, digital impressions are taken. The images are sent to CAD/CAM software, where your veneers will be designed to meet your exact specifications.

The information is then sent to our in-office milling machine, where your veneers will be made. In about an hour, they will be ready to be bonded in place.

How Can Porcelain Veneers Enhance My Smile?

Porcelain veneers are quite versatile, allowing them to be used to treat several imperfections. Often, they are used to hide stubborn tooth discoloration that will not respond to traditional whitening treatments. Since porcelain is stain-resistant, your new smile will stay bright.

Overall, veneers promote the size, shape, and proportion of your teeth. This makes them the perfect option to cover chips and cracks while improving the appearance of shorter than average teeth. They can even be used to make your teeth appear larger to resolve a gummy smile.

In some cases, you can even use them as an alternative to braces. They can make your teeth appear straighter by covering minor alignment issues and closing gaps. Instead of wearing braces for several months, you will get the results you want in just a few hours.
