Friends Smiling, Shiny Teeth

Veneers

Do you hide your smile because of cracked, chipped, or stained teeth?

Dental veneers conceal these cosmetic imperfections to enhance your teeth and boost your self-confidence. 

Learn how Dr. Frederick Hoffer and Dr. Douglas Stilson in Redlands, CA, can help you achieve a beautiful smile with custom veneers.

What Are Veneers?

Dental veneers are a cosmetic dentistry treatment that uses thin porcelain shells that fit over the front surface of your tooth to conceal cosmetic imperfections. Your dentist removes a thin layer of enamel from the tooth, allowing the veneer to fit and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. The dental veneer is then bonded to the tooth.

This procedure should not be confused with bonding, which achieves a similar effect by placing tooth-colored resin onto flawed teeth. Bonding is simpler and more affordable, but the resin does not look as realistic as porcelain.

Veneers are made of durable porcelain and are custom-created to blend with your natural teeth. The thin shell is bonded over the front surface of the tooth to enhance your smile. 

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Boosted Self-Confidence

When you are unhappy with your smile, your self-confidence can suffer. With dental veneers, you can feel confident sharing your smile with the world. 

Long-Lasting

Veneers are made of durable porcelain. With proper care and maintenance, your dental veneers can last for 10 years or longer.

Natural-Looking

Porcelain veneers are designed and color-matched to blend with your teeth for natural-looking results. We offer high-grade porcelain as well as IPS e.max® veneers, which are exceptionally strong while looking totally natural.

Stain-Resistant

Porcelain is naturally stain-resistant, allowing you to enjoy your brightened smile for longer.

Candidates for Dental Veneers

While veneers are a great cosmetic dentistry treatment to enhance most smiles, not every patient is a candidate. Good candidates for veneers include patients who:

Good Oral Health

Are in good oral health

You must be free from oral health concerns such as tooth decay and gum disease before your veneers can be placed. Addressing these concerns means your veneers have a healthy foundation. 

Do Not Use Tobacco

Do not use tobacco

Tobacco use is not just bad for your oral health, but your overall health as well. Tobacco use can also cause your teeth and veneers to become stained and yellowed. 

Permanent Change With Veneers

Are ready for a permanent change

Veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed from the tooth. Once the enamel is removed, you will always require a veneer or restoration on that tooth. You must be ready for a permanent investment, as this treatment is not reversible. After preparation, your treated teeth will always require some kind of restoration.

Consultation

During your initial consultation at our Redlands dental practice, your dentist will examine your mouth and discuss your goals to determine if porcelain veneers are the right treatment for you. He will then craft a custom treatment plan to address your specific goals. 

Preparation

Your dentist preps the tooth or teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel. Your dentist will administer a local anesthetic to ensure you are completely comfortable. 

Impressions

Using digital technology, your dentist will take impressions of your mouth. This allows our trusted lab to craft your custom veneers. The dentist will also shade-match to ensure your veneers blend with your natural teeth. Some patients choose to undergo professional teeth whitening to brighten their entire smile before their veneers are placed.

Crafting

The impressions are sent to a local lab. In some cases, your veneers can be crafted in a day. Turnaround time will vary based on the number of veneers you need. 

Placement

Once your dental veneers are ready, you will have an appointment for placement. Your dentist will permanently bond the veneer to your tooth.
