Do you find yourself hiding your smile in social situations? Do you find the presence of chipped, stained, or crooked teeth makes you feel less confident when smiling for photos? Are you unhappy with the smile you see in the mirror and ready to make a change? At Los Alamitos Dental Care, our dentists may suggest the benefits of restorations such as porcelain veneers. These thin facings are used to cover imperfections that impact the smile’s overall appearance quickly and effectively. In fact, there are at least five ways in which cosmetic porcelain veneers can be used to transform your smile–and make their cost completely worth it!
What are five ways porcelain veneers can transform the smile?
- Fix imperfections. Porcelain veneers are a great option for correcting imperfections in your teeth, including chips, cracks, or gaps. These thin shells are custom-fabricated by our team to cover the front surface of your teeth, concealing any flaws and giving you an even, symmetrical smile.
- Whiten your teeth. If traditional whitening methods have failed to give you the bright, white smile you desire, porcelain veneers can offer a solution. This thin layer of porcelain used in veneers is stain-resistant, allowing your teeth to maintain their radiant appearance for years to come.
- Correct misalignment. Porcelain veneers are also used as an alternative to braces or aligners to correct minor misalignments in your teeth. Our dentists can create the illusion of perfectly straight teeth by placing custom-made veneers on your front teeth.
- Restore worn-down teeth. Over time, our teeth may become worn down due to grinding, aging, or other factors. Porcelain veneers can restore the length and shape of your teeth, giving you a much more youthful and attractive smile.
- Improve overall appearance. By addressing all of the above concerns, porcelain veneers can greatly improve the overall appearance of one’s smile. With a brighter, more even, and symmetrical set of teeth, you will feel more confident and happy with your smile.

Los Alamitos Dental Care: Creating Veneers, Creating Perfection
What is the process of obtaining porcelain veneers?
The process of obtaining porcelain veneers usually involves several different steps. First, you consult with our dentists at Los Alamitos Dental Care to discuss your concerns and determine if the porcelain veneer solution is the right option for you. If so, the next step is to prepare your teeth by removing a very small amount of enamel from the front surface. This allows room for the veneers to be placed without adding bulk to your teeth.
Next, impressions or scans are taken of your teeth to create custom-made veneers that fit perfectly over your existing teeth. These veneers are color-matched to blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Once the veneers are finally created, they are bonded onto the teeth using a special dental adhesive. Our dentists make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and natural-looking appearance.
