If you have dull, uninteresting teeth, it’s time to take action! With the help of veneers, you can have an outstanding smile that is guaranteed to get noticed. Read on to learn how Dr. John Baron, your dentist in Santa Cruz, CA, offers a wide range of dental services, including veneers, to rejuvenate your look!

More about veneers

Dental veneers are thin laminates of sparkling, light-reflective porcelain that are cemented on to the front surfaces of your teeth to hide a wide variety of unsightly issues with your smile, giving you a perfect smile that is still uniquely yours. Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice to cover up problems, such as:

Fracture lines and cracks caused by trauma
Erosion and abrasion caused by acidic foods or a bad bite
Chips and tooth wear caused by aging or bad habits
Stains and discolorations caused by medications or lifestyle issues

Veneers can also help with alignment issues, commonly treated with orthodontics. You can choose porcelain veneers to minimize the look of tooth overlap and to cosmetically close gaps between your teeth.

There are many reasons why porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental services available. Consider that treatment is:

Naturally beautiful, because porcelain looks just like natural tooth enamel
Conservative, because little to no tooth surface is removed
Easy to maintain, because porcelain resists stains

You can have a new, beautiful smile in as little as two to three appointments.

Veneer treatment begins with a consultation appointment, during which you can get a first look at what your new smile will look like.
Next, your teeth are prepared to receive the veneers and molds are made of your prepared teeth. The molds are sent off to a dental laboratory where skilled dental artisans create your veneers.
After Dr. Baron receives the veneers from the dental laboratory, he will permanently cement them on to your teeth and you are finished!

You’re In Luck: Dentistry in Santa Cruz for Multiple Dental Imperfections

Veneers:

In a few short weeks, veneers can change your smile, significantly. During the process, your dentist will create porcelain veneers to be custom fitted to your real teeth. The porcelain material boosts the color, shape and length of your teeth. You will notice a complete turnaround.

Dental Implants:

If you’ve lost teeth due to dental trauma, illness, or if certain teeth are simply beyond being restored, dental implants are a good restorative choice. They look, feel and function just like your own teeth; plus, an implant is permanently placed in the jawbone.

Porcelain Crowns:

Are your teeth fractured, over filled or damaged? Compared to traditional metal crowns, porcelain crowns are a natural-looking choice. A crown acts as a shield for a damaged tooth, protecting it from outside forces.

Teeth Whitening:

Do you sip on a lot of coffee or tea? Or maybe your teeth are just naturally a darker shade. To brighten your smile, Dr. Baron can help you find a custom, natural shade.
