HOW VENEERS ARE USED TO COVER A TOOTH FOR SAN JOSE AREA PATIENTS

San Jose, CA area patients seeking a dental office for fabrication and placement of tooth veneers can contact the dedicated team of professionals at StarBrite Dental in Fremont. Dental veneers are an excellent way for patients to hide imperfections on one tooth or several teeth within the smile. And are most suited for the anterior teeth, which are noticeable when patients laugh, speak, or smile. These teeth may be stained, broken, or unevenly spaced, thus impacting the smile’s appearance.

WHAT ARE VENEERS?

Veneers are thin restorations made of porcelain. These thin layers are bonded over the fronts of any problem teeth, effectively disguising flaws. Tooth veneers are a quick, easy, and effective way to mask issues detracting from the natural smile. Thanks to our investment in advanced iTero scanning technology and Glidewell milling machines, StarBrite Dental now offers same-day veneers made on-site. Dr. Lokhandwala can fabricate veneers and other restorations while you wait—meaning you don’t have to deal with temporaries and future appointments. Typically, there is no need for an anesthetic as minimal preparation is required to place a veneer.

HOW LONG DO VENEERS LAST?

With proper care, veneers can last many years. Patients need to protect their dental veneers from damage, which means no chewing on hard objects such as ice. Additionally, patients who have a condition called bruxism are encouraged to wear a special mouthguard at night to safeguard the veneers from damage. Bruxism causes patients to clench and grind their teeth, which can fracture the veneers and cause unusual wear to the natural enamel of the other teeth.
