Porcelain Veneers in Berkeley, CA

Dr. Dailley will provide a local anesthetic to numb your teeth and gums before the procedure. You may experience some mild discomfort right after your veneers are placed, but this will fade within a few hours.

Veneers can last seven to fifteen years with proper care.

Veneers are a cosmetic treatment, so insurance rarely covers them, but there are some exceptions depending on your provider.

If your veneer gets damaged or falls out, try to keep it clean and store it in a safe place until you can get to our office. Don’t attempt to fix or reattach the veneer on your own.

You can care for veneers just like natural teeth, with daily brushing and flossing.

In many cases, we can use veneers to help your teeth appear straighter.

Compared with older fashioned crowns, you don’t have to take away a lot of enamel with veneers, and some veneers don’t require any removal of tooth structure at all! Proper planning and expertise always leads to the optimal aesthetic success and beauty.

Porcelain doesn’t stain like most other dental materials or even natural teeth, keeping the shade of the veneers stable for their lifetime.

We can work quickly if that is your request, or we may take a longer period of time to ensure your satisfaction with the aesthetic result. Cosmetic dentistry is an art as well as a technical exercise. It is not always easy to arrive at the beauty that is in your mind’s eye.

We take the time necessary to produce exquisite smiles. We can also work as quickly as one week from start to finish, if that is the request.

This question is best answered by looking into your own smile. If you check out your upper smile from the side as well as the front, a veneer candidate will frequently count from 8 to 10 teeth that matter in the display of a good smile.

The lower teeth may matter less, or even more so to some people. Frequently a full makeover entails 20 teeth. A conservative plan considers 4 to 8 for a moderate change.
