Dental Veneers and Dental Laminates

Dental Veneers. We provide dental veneers to restore damaged teeth or transform smiles. We treat a variety of dental concerns, from broken teeth to creating Hollywood smiles. Most people are candidates for veneers if their tooth structure and roots are intact. Cavities or gum disease must be treated before the procedure. Visit our Los Angeles office to learn more.

If you want to learn more about dental veneers, we recommend that you call 213-353-4723 to schedule an appointment.


What is a Dental Veneer?

A veneer is a thin shell that is made out of porcelain or ceramic. The shade of the veneer, along with its shape and size will be made to match your surrounding teeth so that it blends in perfectly.

How is a Dental Veneer Used?

Dental veneers can close gaps, even out teeth length, cover dark stains, and create a uniform smile. This simple procedure can give you a Hollywood-worthy smile. To improve your smile, call 213-353-4723 and schedule an appointment with Dr. Abrams.

Veneers

We also use dental veneers for restorations. When teeth become cracked, chipped or broken, a veneer can restore the tooth to its full functionality. As long as the tooth structure is intact, we can restore the appearance of a tooth while making it possible to eat and speak without feeling any discomfort.

The Procedure

When patients visit Elliott.N.Abrams D.D.S, we take an impression of their teeth to create custom veneers in a lab, matching size, shape, and color. After preparing the tooth by removing enamel and securing a temporary veneer, we fit the permanent veneers during a second visit. Adjustments, if needed, are made before bonding them to the tooth with a water-based solution, providing instant results for a beautiful smile.

After the Procedure

After the preparation phase and placing the permanent veneers, your teeth may be sore for a few days. Taking pain medication, getting rest, and using a cold compress can help reduce swelling and discomfort. Eating soft foods is recommended during the short recovery time. Despite this, the procedure is worth it for the resulting beautiful smile.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

One main benefit of veneers that patients enjoy is how the veneers make their teeth look. This procedure is an excellent solution, since the veneers can transform your smile into one that looks perfect and beautiful. The veneer uses your natural teeth, so there is no need for surgery, and the recovery time is reduced. Since the veneers are made to match your other teeth, they will look natural, and no one will be able to tell that you had any cosmetic dentistry work completed. Another benefit is that they are made out of a stain resistant material. This means that your teeth will stay whiter and brighter, even if your favorite beverage is a hot cup of coffee. We can use dental veneers to transform your smile.

Dental Laminates Downside

There can be some discomfort when getting dental veneers, but we ensure patients are comfortable during the procedure. The process takes several weeks, requiring careful eating and activity choices, such as avoiding football after temporary veneers are placed. Schedule the procedure when you can stay close to home and take it easy.
