At StarBrite Dental, we offer patients in the Fremont, CA, area good porcelain veneers for picture-perfect teeth at an affordable price.

Benefits of porcelain veneers

Patients with small gaps and mildly crooked teeth can save time and money when they choose veneers over traditional orthodontics. Veneers are a thin, porcelain appliance designed to cover the front of your teeth and improve the aesthetics of your smile. They can be crafted for a single tooth or a whole row of teeth. They can also provide some extra protection for teeth with chips or worn enamel.

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for over 20 years, providing a natural-looking smile. Maintaining your veneers is as simple as brushing and flossing your teeth daily and booking routine dental cleanings with Dr. Lokhandwala.

What to expect during your appointment

Dr. Lokhandwala will evaluate your teeth and bite alignment with x-rays to determine if veneers are the right treatment plan for your teeth. Issues with your dental health, such as gum disease and cavities, can affect the fit of your veneers, so they will need to be treated first. Dr. Lokhandwala will need to prepare your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel to make space for them. Next, she will create an impression of your teeth by having you bite into dental putty. Your veneers will be crafted in the dental lab within a couple of weeks. Patients with sensitive teeth may prefer to wear temporary veneers while they wait.
