Financing Porcelain Veneers

Dental payment plans are sometimes a payment option for restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. Contact your office to get more information about payments options.

Treatment Prior To Porcelain Veneers

Both porcelain veneers and direct composite veneers may involve the preparation of each individual tooth to be treated. Therefore, cosmetic dentists may recommend a whitening procedure prior to treatment for patients with mildly discolored teeth. The result will be a brighter and shinier smile. If there are alignment issues, orthodontic treatment may be recommended prior to porcelain veneer treatment. 

Benefits of Dental Veneers

A dental veneer is a thin shell of tooth that is placed over the surface of the teeth to address dental issues including misaligned teeth, worn enamel spacing issues or chips. Porcelain veneers help to beautifully makeover smiles with aligned, appropriately shaped teeth. They also may help eliminate the need for more expensive and extensive dental treatments. 

Are You A Candidate for Porcelain Dental Veneers?

To determine if you are a candidate for porcelain veneers, contact Dr. Arman Torbati's office to schedule a preliminary consultation. During the consultation, an oral health evaluation will be completed, and the treatment options will be discussed.

What to Expect

The process of getting dental veneers can typically be completed in several office visits over the course of six weeks. The visits to the West Los Angeles office are comprehensive and may involve several hours of examining and preparing the teeth. The examination and diagnostic portion of treatment is essential in identifying any concerns with oral health. The treatment plan will commence after the examination is completed and a customized plan is agreed to. 

The Procedure

There process of getting porcelain dental veneers is done is several steps. An impression of your teeth will be taken, and that impression will be used to make a mold. The impression is vital to the professional fabrication process. Dr. Torbati will administer a local anesthetic for your comfort while the teeth are being prepared and the veneer placed. Your natural tooth is then reshaped for an optimal fit and the veneer is then placed over the tooth to create a vibrant healthy smile. 

Post-Procedure and Recovery

Porcelain dental veneers are durable and will last for many years before needing to be replaced. Scheduling regular examination visits with a dentist is important to maintain the health of your teeth and will impact the longevity of your veneers. 

Chipped veneers cannot be replaced so adhering to an aftercare plan is important to reduce the risk of damage. Abstain from eating hard foods and other foods that could cause damage.

Although dental veneers are polish-able, it is advised that brushing follow drinking red wine, soda or coffee.
