How Veneers Work

Dental veneers give you a new smile fast. Veneers are a type of cosmetic restoration that fit right over your natural teeth for a comfortable solution to many smile flaws. Our Agoura Hills cosmetic dentist can help you learn if veneers are right for you.

You may benefit from veneers if your teeth are cracked, chipped, worn, stained, spotted, discolored, crooked or misshapen. For the best results, both teeth and gums should be healthy before having veneers applied. Each veneer is crafted from strong dental porcelain and customized to fit individual teeth. The porcelain has the same finish as natural dental enamel, so it looks just like your own tooth when the veneer is applied. The outer layer of enamel is lightly buffed to make room for the porcelain, and then the veneer is placed on the tooth to replace the outer layer.

Veneers look and feel just like your own teeth and they are easy to take care of: Simply brush and floss just as you always do. Porcelain is highly resistant to stains and is strong enough to stay in place for many years as long as you take care of it.
