What Makes Porcelain Veneers So Popular?

You might be wondering why you should choose porcelain veneers and why they have increased in popularity in the recent years. Remember that tooth you chipped during baseball as a child? Porcelain veneers are a great solution for that. Are you an avid coffee or tea drinker? Veneers are a great option to eliminate those pesky stains that are covering your teeth, with more predictable results than whitening treatments offer.

Porcelain veneers are popular because they give you the freedom to achieve your dream smile, in one simple procedure. Veneers are also a great way to improve your self-esteem, because we all love a beautiful, white smile. If you have a history of good oral hygiene, then you’re already a great candidate for porcelain veneers.

Cosmetic dentist, Dr. Eshom, is excited to start working with you on achieving your perfect smile! Call our San Diego, CA office today at (858) 455-9151 to schedule an appointment.  

Why Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers can be a great alternative to straighten your smile. Braces or Invisalign can take months, even years, to perfect your smile. However, porcelain veneers can make your teeth appear straighter  in just a few visits with Dr. Eshom. Since veneers are composed of such a thin layer of dental porcelain, nobody will be able to tell that you’ve gotten porcelain veneers—but  everyone will surely notice your new bright and beautiful smile.

What to Expect

At your consultation, we will examine the current state of your teeth and discuss what you wish to change about your smile. This is a great time to let us know about any unhappiness you have about the color, shape, and appearance of your teeth. This minimally invasive procedure allows for you to either choose your color shade or have your very own custom color created. Many people are unsatisfied with the current color of their teeth, but with porcelain veneers, you are in control of how bright you desire your smile to be. After the consultation, a dental impression will be taken, so the laboratory can construct the veneers to fit your teeth like a glove.

Easy to Apply

Porcelain veneers are incredibly easy to apply. Advances in dental technology mean that your natural teeth will need only minimal treatment before the veneers are bonded.  Once your veneers are back from the lab, Dr. Eshom will begin applying your new veneers to the front halves of your teeth. After bonding your new porcelain veneers to your teeth, your new smile will be ready to show the world. The veneers will be permanently bonded to the front of each tooth, so they shouldn’t bother you after they’re applied. Veneers are long lasting and can be applied within two visits with Dr. Eshom.

Easy to Clean

We understand that you’re a busy little bee. A huge perk associated with porcelain veneers is that they’re incredibly easy to care for. All you need to do to maintain your new, beautiful smile is brush twice a day, like you’ve always done and floss each day. Sounds easy enough, right? Although porcelain veneers are designed to resist staining, to ensure that your veneers remain pearly white for as long as possible, it is recommended that you attempt to minimize the amount of food and drink that you consume that could increase your risk of staining.

Have we convinced you yet? Porcelain veneers are such a popular option because they’re easy to apply and care for. Dr. Eshom and our team want to begin this journey with you to find your perfect smile. The choice is up to you! Call our San Diego, CA office today to schedule your consultation. Call (858) 455-9151.
