Los Angeles Porcelain Veneers doctors

I am sorry about your experience with your doctor, but do not be disheartened.  Porcelain veneers are the best choice for restoring the length and structure of your teeth. There should be no need for reduction since this is an additive procedure.  Make sure you work with your orthodontist and express your desire to have a wider smile before  the placement of your veneers.

Porcelain Veneers are as durable as your own teeth as long as you take care of them. Your real teeth can crack if you use them as a tool to open wrappers, lids and other objects. If you hit your real teeth with a spoon or you fall your real teeth can crack or break off.  This applies to veneers as well.  You do not crush ice or bite down on really hard candy with either real teeth or veneers.  You need to take the same precuations with both.  Sensitivity to hot or cold is not affected with application of veneers. You need to make sure your bite is correct before Veneers are placed so there is noextra stress being placed on them.  You need to be aware if you are clench or grind your teeth and, if so, wear a bite guard at night to protect the veneers. When a veneer fails, it is usually due to poor hygiene on the part of the patient.  You need to brush regularly with a soft brush, floss and get regular dental checkups so there is no gum recession where decay may start under the veneer.  Longevity for this procedure is great .Veeners are a good cosmetic fix and will create a beautiful smile!  Good luck!

Placing new porcelain veneers will cost differently depending on what dentist you choose.  We have performed over 20,000 porcelain restorations and use top quality lab technicians and products.  Unlike lasik eye surgery where you push buttons for an outcome, your dentist is like an artist.  You will get what you pay for for and it will behoove you to do see several consultations before making a final decision.  Good luck.
