Veneers La Verne, CA
Over time, your teeth can take on some damage… even if you are faithful in your brushing and flossing. Chips, discoloration, or general crookedness can mar the appearance of your teeth and cause you to feel less than fully confident in your smile. Dental veneers may be the solution. With veneers, you can restore your smile to a healthy appearance, and regain some of that lost confidence. At Elevated Dentistry, we are pleased to provide patients in La Verne with dental veneer services.

What are Veneers?
Dental veneers are essentially a thin layer of material, custom-made to fit over your natural teeth. Veneers are designed to replicate the look and feel of your own teeth, but with improved esthetics and feel. With veneers, you can conceal cosmetic issues with your natural teeth, including chips, stains, or teeth that are less than ideal in shape. Dental veneers are made of an all ceramic material permanent solution. Preparing teeth for veneers requires a small amount of the natural tooth to be shaved in order to effectively place the veneer in place. Due to the thinness of the veneer, this shaving is minimal.

The Veneers Treatment Process
The Consultation and Teeth Examination
The first step in the process is scheduling a consultation with Elevated Dentistry. During the one-on-one meeting, your dentist will outline the process, tell you more about your veneer options, and answer any of your questions. Additionally, the dentist will examine your teeth to ensure you are eligible for veneers.
Preparing Your Tooth for a Veneer
In order to prepare your teeth for veneers, your dentist will make minor changes to the shape of the teeth planned for veneers. This involves shaving a small portion of your natural tooth, roughly equal to the width of the veneer itself. This ensures that your veneers fit comfortably, without causing your mouth to feel too “crowded” or “bulky.” This procedure will typically be done with localized anesthesia. Before you leave the preparation appointment, you will be fitted with custom temporary veneer so you have a beautiful smile before you leave the office.
Bonding Process
Our dentists remove the temporary veneers and bond the permanent veneers to the prepared teeth. This process is usually fairly quick and comfortable.

The total process of getting dental veneers usually takes somewhere between two and three weeks. The reason for this is that, after your initial consultation and evaluation, we have the lab perform a wax up of your teeth for the veneers to be patterned after. Once your teeth are prepared for veneers, the impressions are sent to the lab so veneers can be custom designed for your smile. It can take a week or two to have the veneers completed by the dental lab.
While there are not any treatments that work exactly as veneers do, there are plenty of other options for addressing cosmetic concerns. If your teeth are stained, tooth whitening may be all it takes to restore your bright, healthy smile. Invisalign can help fix crooked teeth, and a chipped tooth may require a crown.
Most patients tell us that they experience little to no pain when they get dental veneers. The reason for this is that this procedure is actually minimally invasive. The only part that may cause discomfort is the removal of tooth enamel; for this part of the veneers process, we can offer localized numbing as needed.
Ultimately, the best way to determine whether dental veneers are right for you is to consult with a dentist. Generally speaking, if you are looking to address serious cosmetic issues with your teeth, and you do not have any gum disease or other underlying issues, then veneers may be a good option.
It is important to remember that while veneers are durable, they can be broken or chipped. The best way to prevent this is to avoid chewing on hard substances, such as ice or pen caps, and also to abstain from hard candy, raw carrots, tough-to-chew meat, and other foods that can cause wear and tear.
Most patients report very little discomfort following the application of veneers. You may have some minor soreness, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Make sure you care for your veneers by brushing daily, preferably with a soft-bristle brush, flossing, and seeing your dentist regularly.
Why Get a Dental Crown or Cap?
There are a number of reasons why you might need one of these restorative dentistry options. Crowns can be logical remedies for you if you have any of the following issues:
- Weak, cracked, or decaying teeth
- Teeth that have become severely worn down through everyday use
- Teeth that need large fillings and require some extra support
- Teeth that are oddly shaped or severely discolored
- Teeth that have been treated with a root canal
