Transform your Smile with Porcelain Veneers in Lompoc!
Veneers are very thin
pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and
color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the
front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
Veneers can completely
reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns
and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.
As with most dental
restorations, veneers are not permanent and may someday need replacement.
They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long
lasting smile.

What does getting
porcelain veneers involve?
Getting veneers
usually requires two visits to complete the process, with little or no
anesthesia required during the procedure. The teeth are prepared by
lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the
veneer. A mold or impression of the teeth is taken and a shade (color)
will then be chosen by you and the dentist.
On the second visit
the teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to achieve a durable bond.
Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer and a special light
beam is used to harden and set the bond.
You will receive care
instructions for veneers. Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental
visits will aid in the life of your new veneers.
