At Cruz de la Cruz Prosthodontics, we specialize in transforming smiles with expertly crafted ceramic veneers. Dr. Cruz de la Cruz combines advanced dental techniques with an artistic eye to design veneers that enhance your smile’s natural beauty while preserving tooth structure.
What Are Ceramic Veneers?
Ceramic veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. These durable, stain-resistant restorations are ideal for addressing:
- Deep stains resistant to whitening treatments
- Teeth that are misshapen, worn, or chipped
- Gaps between teeth
- Congenitally small or malformed teeth
- Multiple old composite fillings that have dulled or discolored over time
Ceramic veneers are prized for their ability to create a natural, radiant smile that harmonizes with your facial features.
The Benefits of Ceramic Veneers
- Natural Aesthetics: Ceramic veneers closely mimic the translucency and sheen of natural enamel for a flawless finish.
- Minimally Invasive: Dr. Cruz emphasizes conservative techniques, ensuring minimal or no removal of natural tooth structure whenever possible.
- Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, ceramic veneers offer durable, stain-resistant enhancement that can last for many years.
- Immediate Transformation: Veneers can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile in just a few appointments.
Our Approach to Ceramic Veneers
At Cruz de la Cruz Prosthodontics, our veneer process is tailored to your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
-
Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your smile goals, lifestyle, and preferences. Dr. Cruz considers facial profile, smile aesthetics, gum display, and tooth positioning to design veneers that complement your features.
-
Conservative Preparation: Whenever possible, we preserve your natural tooth structure. In some cases, no tooth reduction is required. For patients with misaligned teeth, orthodontic treatment may be recommended prior to veneers to optimize results.
-
Custom Design & Shade Matching: Using precise digital impressions and advanced ceramic materials, we craft veneers that blend seamlessly with your smile.
-
Final Placement: Once your veneers are complete, Dr. Cruz carefully bonds them to your teeth, ensuring a secure fit and natural appearance.
Is Orthodontic Treatment Necessary Before Veneers?
In some cases, orthodontic treatment may be advisable before placing veneers. Aligning the teeth beforehand can:
- Minimize the amount of tooth structure removed during veneer preparation
- Improve long-term stability and oral health
- Enhance overall smile symmetry and proportions
During your evaluation, Dr. Cruz will determine if orthodontic treatment is recommended to achieve optimal results.
