Your smile is your signature. And when something’s not right, porcelain veneers can transform your teeth for a smile that is beautiful, natural-looking and long-lasting. But with various options available, how do you choose the right veneers for you? Let’s explore the factors to consider.
Choose based on your specific dental needs
The first step in choosing a veneer solution is to understand your unique needs. The best porcelain veneers are highly versatile and can address a wide range of dental imperfections. Whether you’re dealing with chipped teeth, crooked teeth, gaps, or discoloration, porcelain veneers can be the ideal solution.
However, the severity of your dental imperfections and your overall oral health plays a crucial role in determining whether veneers alone are the best route. If you have extensive tooth damage or severe misalignment, additional treatments such as dental crowns or orthodontics may also be necessary. A comprehensive evaluation in our Los Angeles office by award-winning cosmetic dentist Dr. Alexie Aguil can help determine the best approach to achieve your desired results.
Choose your dental veneers based on material
Dental veneers come in different materials, with the two primary options being traditional porcelain veneers and composite veneers. The choice of material can impact the appearance, durability, and price of your veneers.
Porcelain Veneers: Hand-crafted from high-quality porcelain, porcelain veneers are known for their natural translucency and luster. Even more, they are also stain-resistant. This premier solution can require more preparation and may have a higher upfront cost.
Composite Veneers: Made from resin, composite veneers don’t have the same natural translucency as porcelain nor can they be as finely micro-tuned. In addition, resin veneers are not as stain-resistant as porcelain and will require more maintenance over time. However, they might require less preparation and are less expensive.
The choice between porcelain and composite veneers depends on your individual preferences, budget, and specific dental needs.
Choose the dental veneer for ideal shade and shape
Achieving the perfect shade and shape for your porcelain veneers is crucial for a natural and harmonious appearance. Dr. Aguil understands the importance of tailoring your veneers to your unique facial features and personality. A shade that’s too white or a shape that doesn’t match your face can make your veneers appear artificial.
During your consultation, you have the opportunity to discuss choices and make decisions about the shade and shape of your veneers. Dr. Aguil’s decades of experience as a cosmetic dentist ensures that your veneers will be customized to your liking, delivering the most natural-looking and beautiful results.
