When you have a beautiful smile, it boosts your confidence, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. But if you’re unhappy with your teeth’s appearance, porcelain veneers may be the solution you’re looking for.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells made of ceramic material that is custom-fitted to your teeth. They are a popular cosmetic dental treatment option that can transform your smile in a matter of just a couple of visits with our dentist. Each veneer is customized to cover the tooth behind it, immediately transforming the way it looks.

Plus, Wynning Smiles Dental uses state-of-the-art technology and techniques to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction.
Why Chose Dental Veneers?
There are many reasons why people choose to get dental veneers. Porcelain veneers can be used to fix a variety of cosmetic dental issues, including chipped or cracked teeth, discolored teeth, misaligned teeth, and gaps between teeth. If you simply want your teeth to look great whenever you’re smiling, veneers are a straightforward solution.
Some people opt for veneers to enhance the shape and size of their teeth or to create a more symmetrical smile without braces. Others choose veneers to cover up stains or discolorations that cannot be removed with teeth-whitening treatments. While crowns cover your entire tooth, veneers only mask the visible surface that people see when you’re talking or smiling.
Regardless of your reason for seeking veneers, the treatment can provide you with beautiful, natural-looking results that can last for years. We may even recommend whitening teeth before getting veneers to ensure the veneers match the surrounding teeth, especially if you do not need veneers on each of your visible teeth.
Dental Veneers Are Minimally-Invasive
While dental veneers require a small amount of enamel to be buffed away from the front of your tooth surface, they are considered a minimally-invasive cosmetic dental treatment. Compared to other procedures like dental crowns or implants, veneers involve minimal alteration to the natural tooth structure. The process typically involves a simple and minimally invasive procedure to prepare the teeth for the veneers, followed by the placement of the custom-made veneers on the tooth surface, resulting in a natural-looking, long-lasting improvement in the appearance of the treated teeth.
Dental Veneer Procedure
The dental veneer procedure typically involves two to three visits to our dentist. During the first visit, Dr. Shang will prepare your teeth for the veneers and help you create a design for your new smile. He will gently buff away a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth to make room for the veneers. Then we will then take impressions of your teeth and send them to the dental laboratory, where the veneers will be made according to Dr. Shang’s specifications.
When your veneers are ready, you will return to our office for the second visit where we will place the veneers on your teeth and check how everything fits. Once the veneers are properly positioned, we will use a special adhesive to bond them to your teeth.
Depending on your smile’s characteristics, you may need anywhere from 6-10 veneers or more; most people only cover the top front teeth that are visible whenever they smile.
Caring for Dental Veneers
When you get dental veneers, you must care for them properly to maintain their appearance and longevity. Avoid biting hard objects and foods, which could damage or dislodge the porcelain. It’s also important to maintain good oral hygiene habits by brushing and flossing regularly and visiting our Huntington Beach cosmetic dentist for routine check-ups and cleanings. Avoid using your teeth to open things, bite your nails, or chew on ice, as these can damage your veneers or even lead to cracks or fractures. With proper care, your veneers can last for 10 to 15 years or more. We recommend wearing a nightguard as well to avoid unnecessary wear from clenching or grinding.
