Veneers and Laminates

Porcelain veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth for beautiful results. It is no surprise that this procedure is popular in Hollywood, considering that the types of patients seeking porcelain veneers are those looking for a bright, sparkling smile. Yet, whether in front of the camera or in front of a group of people, how you look can influence how you feel about yourself.

Fortunately, porcelain veneers are long-lasting. They are made of an extremely durable, translucent material with texture similar to tooth enamel. They are generally not susceptible to decay and should resist heavy staining, so even as time passes, your new smile should remain intact. Porcelain veneers are very thin; therefore, minimal grinding of the original tooth is needed as compared to getting caps or crowns. This procedure may require up to three visits - an exam appointment, a separate time for prepping the teeth, and the bonding of your new veneers.

“Porcelain veneers are the Cadillac, or as some say, the Bentley of cosmetic dentistry. It makes it possible for just about anyone to have a beautiful smile”. - Dr. Amini

Porcelain veneers make it possible for everyone to have a beautiful smile, not just celebrities. Porcelain veneers can cover many imperfections in the teeth by bonding a thin shell directly to the tooth enamel. They come in different shades of white so you can select the color you prefer best. Dr. Amini will help you choose a natural-looking color, prep your teeth and then fit the porcelain veneers to your enamel.

If you have severely discolored teeth that don't respond to tooth whitening methods, veneers can brighten your teeth. They can also correct a jagged or poorly shaped tooth. If you've suffered injury to your mouth you may have tiny cracks on the surface of your teeth. Porcelain veneers are very effective at covering cracks and chips in the enamel. Porcelain is a material very similar to the color, look and feel of natural tooth enamel. It is a very tough material as well, which makes it a good choice to simulate the look of your teeth.

Dr. Amini will take impressions of your teeth to make customized veneers. Once they are bonded to the teeth, they will blend in seamlessly without any signs that you've had any dental work done. People will only see your beautiful smile.

When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea or even cigarette stains. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.
