Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain placed on the front of teeth that can cover cracks and chips and give teeth a more desirable shape and better spacing. Dr. Burdick works with each patient to determine exactly how they would like their teeth to look, and he never does any permanent work without first making sure the patient understands, and likes, what is being done. Our porcelain veneers are custom-shaped for each patient, and because we use excellent materials, our porcelain veneers are durable enough to last for many years when cared for properly. Also, the porcelain reproduces the translucence of natural tooth enamel, so our veneers create the effect of a brilliant, completely natural smile.
The procedure starts with a consultation, and a detailed examination of the patient’s mouth. We then take digital photos of the patient’s teeth and create a three-dimensional picture of the patient’s mouth, to which we add the proposed porcelain veneers. This way the patient can see what the veneers will look like, and make any changes he or she wants. After the final shape of the veneers is settled upon, the veneers are shaped from blocks of porcelain and polished. Dr. Burdick then shaves a thin layer of the patient’s natural tooth enamel off to make room for the porcelain veneers and cements them into place. Though it may sound like many steps, we can usually perform the entire procedure in two visits to our Brea area office. Porcelain veneers can reshape a person’s smile, and we invite prospective patients to contact Designed Smiles to find out more.
