Veneers
Unsatisfied with how your teeth look? Teeth that are chipped, stained or misshapen can take away from an otherwise beautiful smile. Dental Veneers & Dental Laminates can rejuvenate your lackluster teeth & transform your smile.
If you’re looking to enhance the appearance of chipped, stained, worn, uneven or slightly misaligned teeth, dental veneers & laminates offer a beautiful, long-lasting solution. At Aaria Dental Group, we provide custom-crafted porcelain veneers & laminates to help patients in San Ramon achieve brighter, more balanced smiles with natural-looking results. By covering the front surface of your teeth with ultra-thin, durable restorations, veneers can dramatically improve your smile while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
What Are Dental Veneers & Dental Laminates?
Dental veneers & laminates are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to enhance their shape, size, color & overall appearance. Crafted from high-quality porcelain, these restorations closely mimic the translucency & beauty of natural tooth enamel while offering exceptional durability.
While the terms “veneers” & “laminates” are often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences between the two. Traditional veneers generally require a small amount of enamel to be removed from the front of the tooth, allowing the restoration to fit naturally while creating dramatic improvements in shape, color & alignment.
Dental laminates are typically even thinner than conventional veneers & may require little to no enamel removal, depending on your unique smile & treatment goals. Because they preserve more natural tooth structure, laminates can be an excellent option for patients seeking a more conservative cosmetic treatment.
During your consultation, our team will evaluate your teeth, discuss your desired results & recommend whether veneers or laminates are the best choice for achieving your ideal smile.
Your Veneer Treatment Journey: What to Expect
Creating your new smile is a collaborative process that combines personalized planning with precision craftsmanship.
Smile Consultation & Digital Planning
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we’ll discuss your smile goals, evaluate your teeth & determine whether veneers or laminates are the ideal solution for your needs. We’ll review the desired shape, shade & overall appearance of your new smile to create a customized treatment plan.
Tooth Preparation & Custom Fabrication
A small amount of enamel may be gently removed to prepare your teeth for the veneers. Detailed impressions or digital scans are then taken so your custom restorations can be carefully fabricated to fit your smile with exceptional precision. Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent restorations are being created.
Final Placement & Smile Maintenance
Once your custom veneers are ready, we’ll carefully bond each one into place, make any necessary adjustments & ensure your bite feels comfortable. With proper care, porcelain veneers & laminates can provide beautiful results for many years. While the porcelain material is highly durable & resistant to staining, maintaining healthy teeth & gums is still essential for protecting your investment.
Brush twice each day with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily & continue scheduling routine dental exams & professional cleanings at Aaria Dental Group. Although veneers are strong, it’s best to avoid using your teeth to open packages, chew on ice or bite other hard objects that could damage the porcelain.
