Porcelain Veneers and Dental Implants
San Diego Dental Implant and Dental Veneers Expertise
Porcelain Veneers
An extremely effective and safe cosmetic dentistry procedure, porcelain veneers, also known as dental veneers, are an excellent way to mask misshapen, misaligned, cracked, chipped, stained, or otherwise damaged teeth. Porcelain veneers are custom-made of a thin ceramic material designed to fit snugly and discreetly over injured teeth, making dental veneers almost indistinguishable from their natural counterparts.
Teeth that are chipped, cracked or worn can be perfectly restored with ultra thin, specially made laminates, porcelain veneers or composite bonding. Either option can close gaps or disguise discolored teeth that do not respond well to teeth whitening procedures.

Dental Implants
There are many different causes of tooth loss - decay, gum disease, trauma, and congenital anomalies. Although there are a variety of options to fill gaps left by missing teeth. Dental implants, also known as tooth implants, are an excellent alternative for those with strong gums, sufficient bones, and otherwise healthy mouths. Using dental implants, your beautiful natural-looking smile can be restored. A dental implant acts much like your natural tooth so that you can smile naturally. A dental implant can also be used to anchor a partial denture more securely.
Dental implants have many benefits:
- Durability: Dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth. So unlike dentures or bridges that may need to be replaced 2 or 3 times over your lifetime, a dental implant can last a lifetime with the appropriate daily dental hygiene routine.
- Oral Health: A dental implant fuses with the bone. Thus, dental implant patients do not experience bone loss in the jaw bones as do patients with missing teeth but without dental implants.
- Anchor: Dental implants can be used as an anchor for appliances such as dentures or dental bridges. A dental implant secured appliance provides better function and comfort. A dental bridge supported by dental implants also preserves the neighboring teeth rather than having to shape them to allow for a crown.
- Natural Appearance: A single dental implant is capped with a dental crown. If the dental implant is replacing a front tooth, a porcelain crown is normally used to make the tooth look like a natural tooth. Dental implants can also make dentures and dental bridges more secure. By securely and naturally replacing missing teeth, dental implants also restore a natural shape to the face.
- Strength: A dental implant is as strong as a natural tooth. And dental implant secured dentures are similarly strong. You can smile, speak and eat with ease.
- Maintenance: Dental implants only require the same care and dental hygiene routine as natural teeth. And for dental implant secured dentures or bridges, the appliance can be removed for cleaning and easily replaced.
- Success Rate: The dental implant procedure has a success rate of around 95%. And with proper care, that success rate will last a lifetime.
If you have missing teeth, dental implants are a great option. Porcelain veneers are a great option for many other cosmetic dental issues.
