Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted thin shells designed to cover the front of teeth. While veneers can be made from resin or porcelain, the latter offers superior durability, resistance to stains, and a longer lifespan despite a lengthier application process.
Teeth Veneers Procedure
The procedure at Kane and Kerper Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Oxnard begins with local anesthesia. A fine layer of enamel is gently removed to accommodate the veneer. An impression of the teeth is then taken to customize the veneers. In instances where the procedure spans multiple days, temporary veneers, which require delicate handling, might be placed.
Durability of Veneers
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last over ten years. At our Oxnard practice, we prioritize top-grade materials and cutting-edge bonding methods. To maximize the lifespan of veneers, avoid using them to cut or open items. If there’s any damage, parts of the veneer can be replaced.
