Porcelain Veneers, Your Ticket to a Dynamic Smile
Ever notice how much a radiant smile lights up a room? That smile could be yours with porcelain veneers. Veneers cover imperfections in your teeth to make your smile all that you want it to be, naturally. If you live in Los Alamitos, California, you can get porcelain veneers at Los Alamitos Dental Care. Dr. Kerry Hahn and our team are ready to answer your questions about veneers to see if they’re a good fit for you.
What are porcelain veneers?
Veneers are thin, porcelain “shells” that can be bonded to blemished teeth to enhance their appearance. These shells are custom-crafted in our world-class lab and conform to the size and shape of your teeth for a perfect fit. Porcelain veneers cover the front and sides of your teeth to give your smile a flawless new appearance.
Why would I get porcelain veneers?
If your smile falls short due to imperfect teeth, veneers can dramatically improve its aesthetics. Veneers work by concealing tooth flaws that make your smile less appealing. Veneers can make defects like chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and misshapen, uneven, or odd-sized teeth magically disappear to give your smile a new, improved and dynamic appearance.Â
What’s the process for obtaining dental veneers?
The first step to getting veneers is setting up a consultation with our cosmetic dental team. We’ll evaluate your oral health and assess the problems you’d like to fix. Veneers can correct multiple problems simultaneously to make your smile more attractive and pleasing. Once we’ve identified the problems to be fixed, we’ll prepare your teeth by shaving off a sliver of enamel to make room for the veneers. Then, impressions are taken and sent to our lab where your custom veneers are fabricated. When your veneers are ready, we’ll permanently bond them to your teeth, giving your smile an instant transformation!
Who is a good candidate for porcelain veneers?
Good oral health is a prerequisite for most cosmetic treatments like veneers. Our doctors and the team will also confirm that veneers are the best treatment for the problems you’d like to correct. If not, we’ll guide you to the appropriate cosmetic procedure to meet your needs.

How long do porcelain veneers last?
If you’re diligent in caring for your teeth, porcelain veneers can last ten or more years. Good oral hygiene and biannual dental cleanings will keep your veneers in pristine shape well into the future. Although porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, your non-veneer teeth are not, so it would be wise to watch what you eat or drink to keep all your pearly whites looking their best long-term.

What foods and habits should I avoid with veneers?
Many of the same foods that are bad for your teeth are bad for your veneers, namely hard candies, caramel, taffy, and other sticky foods. You should also stop bad habits like chewing on ice, nail-biting, and using your teeth like tools.
