Newport Beach Porcelain Veneers

One popular cosmetic dentistry procedure that Dr. Rolfes, Do, and Dunne in Newport Beach offer for their patients is the beauty of having porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are a customized option for individuals who are looking to change the appearance of their teeth. They can be used to change the color, shape, direction and size of a person's natural tooth, and can also be used to close a gap between teeth and protect chipped or cracked teeth.

Porcelain veneers are very thin "shells" that are cemented over a natural tooth to change the appearance. They can be made of a variety of materials, such as resin and composite, but porcelain veneers are preferred over others because they are the most natural-looking material that best represents the appearance of a natural tooth. Porcelain is also extremely strong and durable, and is one of the best materials for veneers because they resist stains better than other dental veneers.

The process of applying porcelain veneers may involve numerous appointments with Dr. Rolfes, Do, and Dunne. Molds or impressions will be taken in order to make the custom veneer shells at an outside laboratory, and during the application appointment, the teeth will be shaped in order to help the veneers fit snugly on top of the natural tooth. After your porcelain veneers are placed, you will be able to continue to care for them similarly to how you would your natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups and cleanings.

Porcelain veneers are a permanent cosmetic procedure, so considering other viable options for addressing your dental concerns is highly recommended. Additionally, it is important that you speak with a cosmetic dentist to find out if you are a viable candidate for porcelain veneers. By scheduling a consultation appointment with Dr. Rolfes, Do, and Dunne in Newport Beach, they can speak with you about the alternatives to porcelain veneers and help you determine if they are the best cosmetic procedure to help improve your smile!
