Dental Veneers in Encinitas CA

If you are looking for dental veneers in Encinitas, you must be thinking of making improvements to your smile. If your smile is stained, worn, cracked, chipped, or misaligned, dental veneers may be a perfect opportunity for you to have the smile of your dreams.

Reasons for Dental Veneers

People have prematurely worn smiles for a number of reasons. One of them is from clenching and grinding. Having a clenching and grinding habit, also known as bruxism, can cause your teeth to look “shaved down” or smooth all the way across with small cracks and fissures at the edges. If this is you, having veneers can provide length to your smile. You will likely need to wear a nightguard for the rest of your life, as your dentistry can sustain damage, just like your natural teeth. A nightguard will protect you from your bruxism habit.

Deeply stained teeth or teeth that have tetracycline stains cannot be whitened using traditional teeth whitening methods. Dental veneers cover the fronts of your teeth. We can choose a shade that makes you proud of the way you look.

Do you have crooked teeth, but want to avoid braces? For some smiles, dental veneers can provide the appearance of alignment when it comes to your teeth. We reduce some of your natural tooth structure to make room for your veneers. Next, we place veneers over the front of your teeth and we can align your smile. This works well for patients with unsightly gaps in their teeth, as well. We can close in the gaps of your smile using highly esthetic, porcelain veneers that look very natural.

For patients who have had trauma or an accident that damaged their teeth, we can often use veneers to restore function as well as your appearance.
