Veneers can be a very worthwhile investment for those looking for a perfectly white smile. For patients who desire a long-lasting solution to tooth discoloration, veneers offer a variety of benefits. Our expert in porcelain veneers in San Fernando Valley is highly skilled in providing patients with quality care and amazing results.
Veneers are thin shells that are placed over the teeth to cover chips, stains, and cracks. Most veneers are made of porcelain and serve as a protective barrier from tooth damage. In order to keep your veneers clean, it is a good idea to limit exposure to certain liquids that are known to stain teeth such as red wine, coffee, tea, and soda. Patients with veneers should also use whitening toothpaste and be very careful to avoid breakage when flossing. Before receiving veneers, many dentists recommend getting your teeth cleaned. When you go in for your veneers, your dentist may shave down some of your existing enamel to make room for the new coverings. After, your dentist will place your new veneers. With the proper care, veneers can last up to twenty five years. It is important to schedule regular cleanings and check-ups to ensure that your veneers are properly cared for. Our cosmetic dentists in San Fernando Valley are highly skilled in providing patients with beautiful, long-lasting veneers.

Many decayed or otherwise damaged teeth are restored with fillings. Several types of fillings are now available, allowing for more individualized treatment approaches. Here are overviews of the most common restorative fillings.
Metal Fillings Also known as mercury amalgam fillings, these offer effective repair but are gray colored, making them easily visible. This option has become slightly less popular because metal fillings expand and contract with temperature, sometimes causing tooth damage over time, and they contain mercury, a heavy metal. Tooth-Colored Fillings These fillings are made of a composite material that matches tooth color, so they are a top choice for many patients who visit our cosmetic dentist in San Fernando Valley. Resistance to expansion and contraction also helps prevent tooth damage. Indirect Fillings Inlays and onlays are sometimes called indirect fillings because they are actually made outside of the mouth before being put into teeth. Depending on the patient, these may be used for restoring heavier tooth damage or replacing old fillings. Both metal and tooth-colored types are available. Every damaged tooth has to be examined to determine treatment options.
