Veneers

Cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as veneers, have become very advanced. A veneer is a shell-like application constructed from an extremely thin layer of porcelain or other material. This layer is bonded to the front of an existing tooth to correct minor imperfections and improve its appearance. When you notice celebrities or public figures that appear to have perfect teeth, it’s most likely because of veneers.

However, you don’t have to be famous to get veneers for your teeth. Riverbend Family Dental Care offers veneers in Redding, CA, as a method of improving the appearance of your teeth and brightening your smile.

How Veneers Work

A veneer is part of cosmetic dentistry and a restoration procedure performed by Dr. Stratton on one or more teeth that are relatively healthy and intact. Your teeth must be without serious decay or damage to get veneers. Veneers cover the front surface of teeth, meaning that most of the original tooth material is left in place.

For a veneer to adhere to a tooth, there must be enough enamel for dental bonding. During this process, our dentist in Redding, CA, will grind down a small portion of the surface of your tooth to allow the veneer to bond effectively to the enamel. A local anesthesia is used to prevent any pain due to the grinding process. An impression of your tooth is created to make the veneer, and Dr. Stratton bonds this to the tooth enamel with special cement that hardens in place.
