It’s amazing how one simple cosmetic procedure could completely revamp your smile.

Getting a straighter and more attractive smile doesn’t have to be difficult. It doesn’t have to require long, drawn-out dentistry or painful procedures. In fact, a completely new smile could be yours just by visiting our North Hollywood, CA, cosmetic dentists, Drs. Michael and Talia Amir.

What is the purpose of dental veneers?

Veneers are cosmetic restorations that are tailor-made to cover over a tooth to improve its appearance. There are many reasons one of our North Hollywood dentists may recommend getting dental veneers. Veneers are able to hide:

• Discolorations
• Malformed/misshapen teeth
• Crooked or twisted teeth
• Chips, cracks or fractures
• Minor crowding or overlapping
• Gaps between teeth
• Uneven or worn teeth

Veneers are a great way to make sure that all teeth are the same shape, size or color. If you have minor misalignments in your smile but you don’t want to get braces in order to fix the issue, talk to us about whether dental veneers may be all you need to get your smile straighter.

What are dental veneers made of?

Veneers are often made from porcelain, because this material is extremely durable and strong, is stain-resistant and mimics the color and even the translucency of natural teeth. Veneers are specifically matched to your teeth so that you only get restorations that look natural. No one will know which teeth have veneers and which ones are all yours.

How are veneers placed?

Before veneers can be bonded to the front of your teeth, a few things need to happen:

Step 1: Teeth must be prepped for your veneers. If you are getting traditional veneers then some enamel will need to be filed off the front of your teeth to make room for your veneers.

Step 2: Impressions of your teeth will be made. These impressions are the best way to obtain measurements of your teeth so that the dental lab can create veneers that fit properly.

Step 3: We will decide whether your teeth will require temporary veneers while your permanent veneers are being made. It can take up to one week or more to make your veneers.

Step 4: Once your veneers are complete, you will come in so that we can fit you with your new, beautiful restorations.
