Give Your Smile a Youthful Appearance with Veneers
In today’s day and age, you don’t have to be born with perfect teeth to have a gorgeous smile. You can achieve your dream smile through cosmetic dentistry. At Orcutt Family Dentistry in Fair Oaks, California, we offer cosmetic veneers for your teeth to bring out your smile’s hidden beauty. Dr. Brian Orcutt answers your questions about veneers to help you decide if this cosmetic treatment suits you.
What are porcelain veneers?
Veneers are custom-made porcelain shells that cover the surface of your teeth to hide imperfections that affect the appearance of your smile. These blemishes may include tooth stains, chips, cracks, or uneven spaces between teeth. Veneers can enhance the shape of a misshapen tooth, increase the size of a small tooth, widen a thin tooth, or address minor alignment issues. Dr. Orcutt will bond the veneers to your existing teeth after removing a sliver of tooth enamel to accommodate them.
How can I benefit from porcelain veneers?
If you have minor cosmetic concerns about your smile, veneers provide a fast and effective solution to address them. Veneers can make your smile look brighter, healthier, and more aesthetically pleasing. You will possess no more gaps between teeth or worn, chipped, discolored, or misshapen teeth—just a beautiful, unblemished smile to give you a younger-looking appearance.
How do you get veneers?
Porcelain veneer treatment can be completed in two dental visits. On the first visit, Dr. Orcutt will inspect your teeth and gums and discuss the problems you’d like to fix. If you’re a good candidate for veneers, we’ll prep your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel to make room for veneers. Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted in a lab from impressions we take of your teeth. The process can take up to two weeks. We’ll call you when the veneers are ready to schedule a second appointment, at which we’ll bond the veneers to your teeth permanently to transform your smile’s appearance.

How many veneers do I need?
That depends on how many teeth you’d like to fix. Veneers are generally reserved for those teeth that are highly visible when you smile. Four to eight front teeth veneers can give your smile a smooth, seamless appearance.Â
How long do porcelain veneers last?
When cared for properly, porcelain veneers can last for over ten years. Fortunately, teeth with veneers don’t require special treatment. As they look and function like natural teeth, you care for veneers like you care for natural teeth. To retain their attractive appearance, we recommend you brush and floss regularly and stay on top of dental cleanings. Try to avoid hard and sticky foods as they can be harmful to both veneers and natural teeth.Â
