Are you looking for a way to enhance your smile and gain more confidence? Dental veneers can be a great solution! Cosmetic dentistry in Tijuana offers many options to improve the appearance of your teeth, veneers being one of the most popular ones. They are thin shells that are placed on the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. At I love my dentist® we offer two types of veneers: porcelain veneers and composite veneers.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are like tooth-shaped thin shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. They’re made of a custom ceramic material that’s super durable and stain-resistant. That means you can enjoy your beautiful smile for up to 15 years with proper care. They’re also really natural-looking because they’re translucent and reflect light like natural teeth. Sounds great, right? The process of getting porcelain veneers requires multiple appointments and the removal of a small amount of tooth enamel to make room for the veneers.
What are Composite Veneers?
Composite veneers are also thin shells that cover the front of your teeth, but they’re made of a tooth-colored resin material. Unlike Porcelain Veneers, the dentist applies the resin directly to the tooth and then sculpts and shapes it to achieve the desired aesthetic. They’re less expensive than porcelain veneers and can be completed in a single visit because they don’t require any lab work.
Which One is Right for You?
It depends on your needs and budget! If you’re looking for a long-lasting, durable solution, porcelain veneers may be the best choice for you or if you’re looking for a more affordable and faster option, composite veneers may be the way to go. But don’t worry, we’re here to help you figure out what’s best for you. Our team of board-certified dentists will assess your unique case and work with you to determine the best option for your needs. Whether you choose Porcelain Veneers or Composite Veneers, we will ensure that you are fully informed about the process, the benefits and drawbacks of each type of veneer.
