Veneers

Smiling with complete confidence shouldn’t be a luxury. At Advanced Torrance Dental Group, we’ve helped hundreds of patients rediscover their self-assurance through custom veneers – thin porcelain shells that instantly transform teeth affected by imperfections.

Unlike temporary solutions that require constant maintenance, veneers offer a lasting change that looks and feels natural. Dr. Mansoureh Soltani, DDS personally matches each veneer’s color, shape, and contour to your unique facial features, creating a smile that enhances your appearance while still looking authentically yours.

Understanding Veneers

Veneers are custom-fabricated, ultra-thin shells of porcelain designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. The procedure involves minimal tooth reduction while dramatically enhancing the smile.

These precisely crafted overlays effectively conceal a variety of dental imperfections including discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and minor misalignments. The high-quality dental porcelain used in veneers mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel, creating results that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth while providing strength and resilience.

Benefits of Veneers

Smile With Confidence in Any Situation

Veneers eliminate the anxiety of hiding your smile during important moments. Job interviews, first dates, and photo opportunities become experiences you can fully enjoy without self-consciousness about your teeth. Many patients report significant improvements in their willingness to engage socially after receiving veneers. This newfound confidence often extends beyond social settings into professional environments, potentially opening doors to new opportunities.

Quick Solution for Multiple Issues

Veneers address several cosmetic concerns simultaneously without requiring separate treatments. Instead of undergoing teeth whitening, orthodontics, and bonding procedures individually, veneers can correct color, alignment, and shape with a single solution. This comprehensive approach saves significant time – often requiring just two to three appointments from consultation to completion. The efficiency of veneers makes them particularly appealing for those with busy schedules.

Customized to your Facial Features

Each veneer is individually designed to complement your unique facial structure, skin tone, and personal preferences. The width, length, and shape can be precisely tailored to create harmony with your other facial features. This customization ensures your smile looks balanced and proportional rather than uniform or artificial. The ability to design each tooth individually allows for natural-looking variations that mimic the subtle differences found in natural teeth.

Minimally Invasive Procedure

Unlike dental crowns that require significant tooth reduction, veneers preserve most of your natural tooth structure. The preparation typically involves removing only 0.3-0.7mm of enamel – about the thickness of a fingernail. This conservative approach maintains tooth integrity while still allowing for dramatic aesthetic improvements. The minimal preparation also typically means less discomfort during and after the procedure compared to more invasive dental treatments.

Improved Oral Hygiene Motivation

Many patients report taking better care of their teeth after investing in veneers. The satisfaction of having an attractive smile often creates stronger motivation to maintain good oral hygiene practices. This increased attention to dental care can lead to improved overall oral health beyond just the cosmetic benefits. Additionally, the smooth porcelain surface of veneers makes them less likely to trap food particles and bacteria compared to damaged or irregular natural teeth.

Our Veneer Treatment Process

Personalized Consultation and Smile Design

Your veneer experience begins with a one-on-one consultation where Dr. Soltani evaluates your dental structure and discusses your aesthetic goals. We take digital photographs from multiple angles to analyze your smile and facial proportions. During this session, you’ll have the opportunity to share specific concerns about your teeth and explore how veneers can address each issue while maintaining a natural appearance.

Digital Smile Preview and Material Selection

Using advanced imaging technology, we create a digital preview of your potential results before any treatment begins. You’ll select from different porcelain options that vary in translucency, texture, and reflective properties to match your natural teeth. This collaborative design process ensures your complete satisfaction with the planned outcome and allows for adjustments before the veneers are fabricated.

Precise Tooth Preparation and Temporary Placement

Dr. Soltani gently prepares your teeth by removing a minimal amount of enamel to create space for your custom veneers. We take detailed impressions using high-precision materials that capture every contour of your prepared teeth. Temporary veneers are then placed to protect your teeth and give you a preview of your new smile while your permanent veneers are being crafted by our specialized dental laboratory.

Final Fitting and Artistic Adjustments

When your custom veneers arrive from the laboratory, Dr. Soltani carefully evaluates each one for fit, color match, and overall aesthetics before permanent placement. We temporarily position the veneers using water-soluble gel so you can preview the results and request any final adjustments. This try-in phase ensures your complete satisfaction before the permanent bonding process begins.

Permanent Bonding and Finishing Touches

Using specialized dental adhesives, we permanently secure each veneer to your prepared teeth with precise placement and pressure. The bonding material is hardened using a high-intensity light that creates an incredibly strong attachment. After bonding, Dr. Soltani makes final polishing adjustments to perfect the margins and surface texture, ensuring your new smile feels comfortable and looks completely natural.

FAQs

What are veneers?

Veneers are thin porcelain shells custom-designed to cover the front surface of teeth, effectively concealing imperfections like discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment. They are permanently bonded to your natural teeth after a small amount of enamel is removed to ensure proper fit and natural appearance. Each veneer is individually crafted to match the color, shape, and size specifications determined during your consultation process.

How much are veneers?

The cost of veneers typically ranges from $800 to $2,500 per tooth, depending on factors like material quality, geographic location, and the dentist’s expertise. Advanced Torrance Dental Group offers various payment options and financing plans to help make this investment in your smile more accessible. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown based on your specific treatment plan and discuss all financial considerations.

How long do veneers last?

With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers generally last between 10-15 years before they may need replacement. Factors affecting longevity include oral hygiene practices, avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing hard objects, and attending regular dental checkups. Some patients enjoy their veneers for 20+ years when following all recommended care guidelines and avoiding excessive forces on their veneer teeth.

Are veneers permanent?

The veneer procedure is considered irreversible because a small amount of tooth enamel must be removed to accommodate the veneer thickness. While the veneers themselves will eventually need replacement, your teeth will always require some form of covering once they’ve been prepared for veneers. Modern techniques minimize enamel reduction, but patients should understand they’re making a lifelong commitment to maintaining some form of restoration on the prepared teeth.

Are veneers worth it?

Veneers offer exceptional value for patients seeking comprehensive smile improvement, providing immediate results that can boost confidence and potentially last over a decade. The psychological benefits of feeling comfortable with your smile often translate to improved social and professional interactions, making veneers a worthwhile investment in both appearance and quality of life. Many patients report that their veneer investment delivers daily satisfaction that far outweighs the initial cost when amortized over the years of use.
