In Beverly Hills, dental veneers are a popular way to perfect a smile that suffers from discoloration, stains, gaps, and minor chips. Dr. Parnaz Aurasteh of Oral Care Dentistry is ready to help you achieve a total smile makeover with dental veneers.
If you are interested in dental veneers, also known as teeth veneers, this article will help answer many frequently asked questions and concerns about dental veneers.
The first (and most obvious) question is: What are dental veneers, anyway? Dr. Aurasteh uses the highest quality veneers available, constructed from porcelain and as thin as a contact lens (some dentists may use resin, which we do not advise). These porcelain veneers are custom-made to fit your teeth and mimic your natural enamel. You probably know someone with porcelain veneers: they are impossible to detect and blend perfectly with your natural, existing smile.
Porcelain veneers are very durable, often lasting 10-20 years with routine dental care including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Their color is very stable over time and quite resistant to stains and discoloration.
Just like natural teeth, porcelain veneers can chip due to trauma if you participate in contact sports or attempt to use your teeth to open packages. We recommend you use a mouthguard during sporting events and avoid using your teeth to open anything – use scissors instead!
Dental veneers are an ideal solution for smile makeover hopefuls troubled by stained teeth. Teeth are prone to staining over time due to smoking, poor dental hygiene, or consumption of coffee, tea or soda. Professional teeth whitening may fail to resolve some of these cases. Many patients also choose dental veneers to address minor gaps or chips in their teeth caused by trauma such as workplace or sporting accidents.
Generally speaking, your Beverly Hills dentist will need only two visits to apply your new teeth. First Dr. Aurasteh will make an impression of your teeth and send that impression to a specialized lab for custom-made porcelain veneers. Then, at your next visit, Dr. Aurasteh will bond the veneers to your teeth with a strong cement-like paste. For most patients, this process is pain-free.
The cost of dental veneers in Beverly Hills will vary based on how many veneers you need. More important than the cost is the skill of the dentist who applies them, according to The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry: they advise that final results will be significantly better with skilled, experienced dentists. As a cosmetic dentist. Dr. Aurasteh has special training and expertise in the application of porcelain dental veneers. Her specialty is helping patients achieve brighter, whiter, straighter smiles!
