A Guide to Porcelain Veneers that Look Natural and Last a Lifetime

We at Royal Dental Practice in West Hills Los Angeles, California, like to say that “your smile is forever.” Porcelain veneers represent one of the ways that we craft timeless smiles that exude health and youthful vibrancy.

Serving the Greater San Fernando Valley with Quality Care

Porcelain veneers are thin layers of dental ceramic. This ceramic is specially designed and crafted to blend perfectly with the color and appearance of the surrounding natural tooth structure and neighboring teeth. So, as you might imagine, the satisfaction and results you get from the veneer process depend on your dentist’s artistry and technical competency.

Dr. Roya Shoffet is a seasoned, accomplished, and skilled dentist. She uses her considerable expertise and close, relationship-based approach to care to design, place, refine, secure, and monitor veneers that are indistinguishable in appearance, feel, and function from natural and healthy teeth. Dr. Shoffet also leverages state-of-the-art technologies when planning and administering treatments, including veneers.

Less skilled and experienced dental practitioners risk designing and securing veneers that do not look natural. The veneer itself may jut out too much. The porcelain, too, can look fake if it is not properly color-matched to the teeth in the smile and other personal patient characteristics and features. With Dr. Shoffet, you can trust that your veneers will fit well on top of the natural tooth. This characteristic supports healthy, natural function, an esthetically pleasing result, and the lifelong durability of veneers.

Of course, as true partners in your oral health, Royal Dental Practice in West Hills Los Angeles, California, further assures that your veneered teeth remain strong and look great. Veneers can last for many years with:

• Good oral hygiene at home
• Routine visits to our office for professional cleanings and comprehensive oral exams by Dr. Shoffet
• Avoidance of abrasive oral care products
• Avoidance of behaviors or habits that can break or damage the veneer; for instance, chewing fingernails or ice, or teeth grinding
• Correction of bruxism or chronic teeth grinding with oral appliance therapy such as nightguards to protect the teeth and dental work
