If you’re self-conscious about your smile, Dr. Bethany Englund is here to help! With a set of porcelain veneers in La Jolla, you can completely transform your teeth and feel proud of your smile once again. Whether you have stained teeth, an uneven smile, or any other cosmetic issues, veneers from Englund Dental may be perfect for your needs.

What Are Veneers? Are They Right for Me?

Veneers are designed to fit over the front surfaces of your teeth and cover up flaws and imperfections including severe stains, minor chips, gaps between teeth, uneven or misshapen teeth, and more. Each veneer is made of a very strong, yet thin porcelain material that’s selected to match the natural color and translucency of your teeth perfectly.

As long as your mouth is healthy and free of issues like gum disease and tooth decay, you’re likely a good candidate for veneers. They're an especially good choice if you have several different cosmetic issues with your smile and you’d like to correct them all at once.

The Benefits of Veneers

Why are veneers such a popular choice for cosmetic dentistry? It’s because they have tons of unique benefits compared to other types of treatment, including the following:

• Extremely versatile – A full set of veneers can correct just about any flaw in your smile, making them one the most versatile options for cosmetic dentists.
• Impervious to stains – Porcelain veneers are made from an extremely strong, non-porous ceramic material that cannot be stained or discolored, unlike natural teeth. This keeps your new smile bright for years to come!
• Minimal care required – Caring for veneers is super simple. You can treat them just like natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss once a day, and see Dr. Englund for a checkup every six months. That’s it!
• Natural and lifelike – As an expert in cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Englund will create a set of veneers that match your natural teeth perfectly, ensuring a seamless and lifelike result. Your smile will look beautiful, but never fake or artificial.
• Long-lasting results – Your new smile will be built to last! Porcelain veneers have a typical lifespan of up to 10 years with proper care, and some patients are able to keep their veneers for 15 years or longer.

What To Expect from the Veneer Process

After your initial consultation, it takes two appointments over a period of 2-3 weeks to transform your smile. Wondering what to expect? Here’s a quick guide to the veneer process!

Tooth prep & veneer fitting

First, Dr. Englund will clean and numb your mouth. Then, she will trim away an extremely thin layer of enamel from each tooth that’s receiving a veneer. This is done so that the new veneers don’t add any thickness to your teeth and they fit into your bite perfectly. Once she’s done prepping your teeth, she will use a 3D scanner to take a digital impression of your smile.

Crafting your new veneers

After your 3D scan, Dr. Englund will place a temporary set of veneers on your teeth to protect your smile. Then, you’ll go home and Dr. Englund will get to work designing your new set of veneers. Once she’s done, she’ll send the designs to a dental lab, where an expert technician will craft your new set of teeth.

Final veneer placement

It usually takes 2-3 weeks for your new veneers to arrive at Englund Dental. Once they do, you’ll come back for your final appointment with Dr. Englund. She’ll remove your temporary veneers and clean up your teeth. Then, she’ll check the fit of each veneer and make minor adjustments if needed. After that, she’ll bond your veneers into place permanently with powerful dental cement. The final step is to polish your teeth one last time, then send you home to enjoy your beautiful new smile!
