Veneers in Murrieta & Temecula, CA

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are used to conceal dental flaws, such as chips, stains, discoloration, and misalignment. By covering the teeth with porcelain, they appear straighter and more uniform. Veneers are one of those dental restorations that serve both cosmetically and help strengthen the teeth's structure.

Types of Veneers

There are three types of veneers available. Each type is suited to different needs, so here's what you need to know.

⦁Composite veneers are the easiest type to place. They require less preparation than the other types of veneers: no shaving of the tooth's enamel layer is needed, and no anesthetic is necessary. They are highly affordable, but the material can stain easily. Composite veneers can last between five and seven years.

⦁Porcelain veneers are more durable than composite veneers. Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years. The porcelain material will not stain easily and mimics the shine of natural teeth.

⦁Zirconia veneers are the most durable type of veneer available. Zirconia also mimics the shine of natural teeth, and the material will not stain easily. Zirconia veneers can last between 15 and 20 years.
