Dental Veneers

Is your smile dull? Do you have teeth that are crooked, chipped, cracked, misshapen or discolored? Do you wish you had a smile that has a uniform, delightful look? Porcelain veneers may be the answer you are looking for, and the answer is easy to find in the Lodi, Galt or Stockton areas.

Our team is dedicated to helping our patients attain their most radiant, vibrant smiles. Cosmetic dental procedures are some of the most common procedures patients turn to to get visible results.

One of the best and most affordable ways to get a dazzling smile is to use dental veneers. With dental veneers, you not only achieve beautiful uniformity and color—you also strengthen and protect your teeth. If you have chipped or stained teeth preventing you from getting your perfect smile, or if you want to enhance the smile you already have, dental veneers could be the solution for you.

The Benefits of Dental Veneers

Veneers can correct many dental imperfections or inconsistencies including:

  • Correct Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Teeth | Dental veneers cover up and fill in any surface-level imperfections.
  • Improved Size and Shape of Teeth | Dental veneers correct any issues with the shape and size of your teeth, as well as enhance their physical appearance.
  • Improved Functionality | By preserving the shape of your teeth, dental veneers enable your teeth to function how they are supposed to—allowing you to speak and eat with ease.

If you’re looking for a brighter smile, consider teeth whitening before receiving your porcelain veneers, or you can request veneers that are a few shades lighter for a refreshed, uniform look.

Our dentists are skilled at applying dental veneers. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with our office.

Beautiful Dental Veneers from The Lodi Dentist

Our office offers two types of veneers to help you with your smile: prepless Lumineers, and long-lasting porcelain veneers. Both types of veneers are great for restoring smiles and boosting confidence. When you schedule a consultation with one of our dentists, they can recommend which type of veneer will work best for your dental needs and smile goals.

Lumineers

Our office offers a specific type of dental veneers known as Lumineers. Our Lumineers are fitted uniquely to each patient, designed to imitate the sheen and look of natural teeth so that you and those around you will be entirely unaware of any cosmetic alterations to your teeth.

Lumineers are particularly useful for those patients who prefer not to remove much of the natural tooth structure. Lumineers are incredibly thin, requiring minimal preparation of existing teeth. Call today to set up an appointment for a consultation about Lumineers. We look forward to helping you achieve your most dazzling smile yet.

What Is the Lumineers Process?

Consultation

If you and our dentist have decided that Lumineers are the right option for enhancing your smile, we’ll begin with a comprehensive consultation during which we will take a precise mold or digital impression of your teeth.

Veneer Fabrication

The impression of your teeth will be sent to the dental lab to create custom Lumineers.

Veneer Placement

Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are ultra-thin and often do not require significant tooth preparation. When your Lumineers are ready, you will return to the dental office for placement. The dentist will ensure a perfect fit and bond them to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive.

Finishing Touches

Minimal modifications may be made to guarantee your new smile looks natural and seamless.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells made out of porcelain that are bonded to your teeth. Though porcelain veneers may sound delicate and fragile, they are not. They are sturdy and durable.

Porcelain veneers are matched and shaded to look just like your other teeth and your crooked smile is no more. Because the porcelain veneers are so thin, they are translucent and your original tooth shade shines through. However, if you are getting a set of dental veneers that cover all the teeth seen when you smile, you can get porcelain veneers that are a few shades lighter than your original teeth. Or try our teeth whitening procedure before your porcelain veneer.

What Is the Porcelain Veneers Process?

Consultation

If you and our dentist have decided that porcelain veneers are the ideal solution for a crooked or imperfect smile, the process begins with taking a detailed mold of your teeth.

Veneer Fabrication

This mold, along with specific customization requirements, is sent to the lab to create veneers tailored to your needs.

Tooth Preparation

Once your porcelain veneers arrive, the dentist will prepare your tooth or teeth by carefully removing a thin layer of the outer enamel to ensure a secure bond.

Veneer Placement

The veneers are then placed on your teeth, and the dentist makes any necessary adjustments to achieve a perfect fit. Finally, the veneers are bonded to your teeth with a strong adhesive.

Finishing Touches

After placement, final modifications are made so that they blend seamlessly with your smile. Porcelain veneers are renowned for their natural appearance, translucency, and durability.

Caring for Your Veneers

Taking care of your dental veneers is essential for their longevity. Here are some helpful tips to keep them healthy and looking great:

Maintain Good Oral Hygiene

Brush and floss regularly, and visit us for routine checkups.

Avoid Hard Foods

Be cautious with hard or sticky foods that could damage your veneers.

Limit Staining Substances

While porcelain is resistant to stains, it’s still a good idea to limit coffee, tea, and red wine consumption.
