Porcelain Veneers in Northridge, CA

Porcelain veneers are a fantastic treatment option for patients who want to dramatically improve the appearance of their front teeth. Your Northridge cosmetic dentist can help determine whether you’re a good candidate for veneers or if another treatment option fits your dental needs and goals.

What Are Porcelain Veneers in Northridge?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that fit over the front surfaces of your anterior (front) teeth. They are ideal alternatives to dental crowns because they are less invasive. Your dentist doesn’t need to remove as much tooth structure with veneers, yet these restorations provide an incredible difference in the appearance of the teeth.

How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?

Porcelain veneers in Northridge can last 15 years or longer. The longevity of your veneers depends on your level of home care. Routine dental cleanings, brushing, and flossing are the best ways to protect your investment. Without proper home care, you can develop decay around the margins of the veneers, causing them to fail. Similarly, poor home care can lead to gum disease, putting you at risk of gum recession, mobility, and tooth loss.

Why Should I Invest in Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers from your Northridge cosmetic dentist can repair several issues that can result in poor aesthetics, including:

The amazing thing about veneers is that they can provide the appearance of correcting issues that often require further treatment without actually needing that treatment. For example, braces and Invisalign® treatment help correct gaps and crooked/crowded teeth by moving the teeth into their ideal positions.

With porcelain veneers, you get the appearance of straighter teeth without going through the time and cost of orthodontic treatment.

What Happens During a Dental Veneer Appointment?

Your Northridge dentist will start by numbing each tooth that will receive a veneer. Then, they’ll use a laser or handpiece to remove a thin layer of enamel from the outer surface of your front teeth. They’ll smooth the margins to ensure a proper fit. An impression of the veneer preparations is taken, and porcelain veneers are fabricated using a CAD/CAM system. Once the veneer fabrication is complete, we’ll bond the porcelain veneers to your teeth.

Is Getting Porcelain Veneers Painful?

No. We’ll numb the teeth to ensure your comfort. You might experience tooth sensitivity after the numbness wears off (primarily to cold foods and beverages), but this should dissipate within a few days.

What If I Have Dental Anxiety or Fear?

We are committed to your comfort. Therefore, your Northridge cosmetic dentist offers several dental sedation options. Talk to your dentist about which option will fit your needs best.

Are There Porcelain Veneer Alternatives at Dentist of Northridge CA

Are There Porcelain Veneer Alternatives?

There are two alternatives to porcelain veneers in Northridge.

  • Composite bonding: Using composite resin, your dentist covers the front of the teeth. Composite bonding is a more affordable option. However, composite resin doesn’t last as long as porcelain, and the composite can stain over time.
  • Porcelain crowns: Dental crowns fit over the entire tooth, making them the more intensive option. But, porcelain crowns are the sturdier long-term option for patients with significant cracks or enamel fractures.

How Much Do Porcelain Veneers in Northridge Cost?

Porcelain veneers cost between $900 and $2500 per tooth, but pricing may vary depending on your unique needs.

Does Insurance Cover Porcelain Veneers?

Unfortunately, most insurance companies don’t pay for veneers. They view veneers as an elective/cosmetic procedure. We do offer a range of payment and financing options that can be discussed during your consultation.
