You deserve to be able to love the smile you see when you look in the mirror. If you have imperfections in your teeth that are troubling you, we have a solution – affordable porcelain veneers. Dr. Munira Lokhandwala has used this treatment to create many of the beautiful smiles seen near her Fremont office.
If you are considering several cosmetic dentistry procedures to correct the flaws in your teeth, beautiful porcelain veneers can put you on the fast track to the smile of your dreams. This conservative treatment is among the most popular and versatile cosmetic dental treatments available today.
The benefits of veneers
These ultra-thin sheaths of porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of the visible teeth provide a number of benefits:
- Improves the appearance of teeth with flaws such as discoloration, chips, fractures, and pits
- Makes uneven smiles even again
- Lengthens short or worn down teeth
- Look like natural tooth enamel
- Covers minor cosmetic misalignment for a straight smile without orthodontic treatment
- More resistant to staining than natural teeth
- Close gaps between teeth
- Minimal risk of side effects
- No downtime
- Easy to care for
Just three appointments
In most cases, porcelain veneer treatment can be completed in just three appointments: consultation, preparation, and placement. Sometimes, depending on the situation, the consultation and preparation appointments can be combined.
Consultation – This is the most important of the three dental visits. During this visit, you will explain what you dislike and what you like about your smile, and describe the look you wish to achieve with treatment. Some people want a perfectly symmetrical, ultra-white, “Hollywood Smile” others want some subtle nuances for a more natural look.
Preparation – During this visit, Dr. Lokhandwala will prepare the teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel so that the veneers will not add bulk when placed. Impressions are taken, and the color of the veneers is chosen, which will be sent to the dental lab that will create the veneers. Interim resin veneers may be placed at this time.
Placement – When the final veneers are ready, you return to the office and the doctor will check them for size fit, and color, and make any necessary adjustments. The veneers are bonded to the teeth and polished to a lustrous glow. You leave the office with the smile of your dreams!
