Dental veneers in Anaheim
Serving patients in Anaheim and surrounding areas in Orange County
Dental imperfections can really put a damper on your confidence to smile. Dental veneers are tooth-colored caps that mask discolored, cracked, misshapen, and gapped teeth. There are types of material used to make dental veneers:
- Porcelain. This is one of the most durable veneer materials which also gives the most aesthetic look.
- Composite. Tooth-colored composite resin is a more affordable option that also blends with the rest of your teeth.
- Zirconia. A relatively new material on the market, zirconia has surpassed porcelain as the most durable material for veneers.
Get natural-looking dental veneers at First Dental Care
At First Dental Care we provide natural-looking veneers using Lumineers®. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers require minimal tooth alteration. This procedure is designed to deliver a beautiful and natural-looking smile transformation without the aggressive removal of healthy tooth structure. Lumineers are crafted using ultra-thin dental veneers that can be applied easily on your teeth.
Dr. Kim is highly-skilled at designing your new smile and preparing your teeth for the veneer fitting. We also work with a reputable dental lab that skillfully crafts your final veneers.
How long do veneers last?
Dental veneers usually last anywhere between 10 to 15 years. This depends on how well you take care of your veneers and what material you choose. For instance, zirconia veneers can last up to 30 years with proper care and maintenance.
What are the best-looking veneers?
Porcelain is inarguably the best-looking veneer material. It has the most natural look, despite zirconia being considerably whiter.
Can you get cavities under veneers?
Yes, you can still develop cavities under your veneers. It’s important to practice proper oral hygiene to maintain the structural integrity of both your teeth and veneers.
How long does it take to get veneers?
It takes 1-2 dental visits to get dental veneers depending on the type you choose. On your first visit, Dr. Kim will discuss your material options before reshaping your teeth. He will then take impressions of your teeth which the lab will later use to create perfectly-fit veneers using porcelain or zirconia. The final veneers are fitted and bonded to your teeth during the second visit.
Resin composite veneers usually only take a few hours to apply. After reshaping your teeth, Dr. Kim directly molds the material onto your teeth and cures it with a UV light.
How do you keep veneers white?
Keep your dental veneers white with frequent brushing and flossing. Also try to avoid teeth-staining food and drinks like coffee and beets. Keeping up with your professional dental cleaning appointments also help in maintaining your pearly white veneers.
