How ceramic veneers are rejuvenating smiles and confidence in Laguna Niguel

Drs. Nina and Alex Basti of Mission Viejo, CA, are known for their exceptional services, compassionate care, and dazzling cosmetic work. They often see patients from Laguna Niguel, Ladera Ranch, and other area communities. One of the most popular and effective cosmetic solutions is porcelain veneers, also called ceramic veneers.

What are veneers?

A dental veneer is a thin layer of cosmetic dental material bonded to the visible surface of a tooth. They are sometimes made of composite resin, which can be completed more quickly. However, composite materials tend to lose a bit of their luster over time, and they are generally not as long lasting as ceramics. In keeping with our dedication to quality, we choose ceramic porcelain for our veneers. In our office, composite materials are reserved for procedures such as bonding or cosmetic fillings, where they can achieve optimal performance.

Are they right for you?

Veneers are quite versatile, making them a good option for most people. The most common concern is oral health issues. If you have periodontal disease, then treatment is essential for the longevity of your natural teeth as well as any cosmetic work. Additionally, if a tooth is weak or damaged, a veneer will probably not provide enough strength, so a dental crown may be recommended. For most cosmetic concerns, veneers are an excellent option.

Amazing result

Veneers can truly transform your smile. Most cosmetic procedures address a specific issue. For example, teeth whitening will remove stains, but crooked teeth are still crooked; orthodontics can straighten teeth, but not correct misshapen teeth. If you have multiple cosmetic issues, you might expect to need multiple procedures to correct them. However, porcelain veneers can be used to redesign your smile completely, with one conservative procedure, in just a few weeks! We use proven principles of smile design, and work with a top quality dental laboratory to create stunning, natural looking smiles.
