What is the biggest benefit of porcelain veneers in Los Angeles?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of lustrous ceramic, bonded to the front surfaces of “smile teeth.” There are many benefits of this popular cosmetic procedure at Downtown Dental in Los Angeles. Dr. Mungcal is often asked, “What is the biggest advantage of veneers?” Below is some helpful information about why you should choose veneers at Downtown Dental.
Convenience
The procedure typically requires just two visits. At the first appointment, teeth are prepped. Dr. Mungcal removes a tiny bit of enamel, contouring the surface so that veneers will fit snugly at the gum line. This provides a natural (not blocky) appearance. He takes impressions and sends detailed design specs to a professional dental lab. You return in about two weeks to have veneers cemented into place and polished to a beautiful sheen.
Easy care
Veneered teeth should be brushed and flossed normally. Just use a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Simply avoid biting directly into very hard foods so that you don’t damage or displace veneers. If you tend to clench or grind your teeth at night, Dr. Mungcal may recommend wearing a custom-fit night guard to protect your new smile.
Fabulous results
The number one benefit of porcelain veneers is smile transformation! Patients love the way veneers bring stunning symmetry to their smiles. Veneers correct the appearance of:
- Enamel imperfections – chips, cracks, and natural pits and bumps.
- Uneven size and shape – teeth that look too short, are worn down, or have an unusual shape.
- Deep discoloration – internal staining that does not respond to professional teeth whitening.
- Minor misalignment – gaps, uneven spacing, twisted, or shifted teeth.
Are you ready to learn more about what porcelain veneers are, to determine what is the greatest advantage of this treatment for your smile? Call Downtown Dental in Los Angeles at 213-863-9464 for a consultation with Dr. Mungcal.
