Van Nuys, CA Veeners Dentist

May 18, 2007

Hi! 

The question for today’s blog is… 

Q: I am considering getting veneers. Is this a procedure you do at your dentist office in
Van Nuys, CA? Can you tell me more about what veneers are?
 

Dr. Fields: This is really a question I get a lot. So many people are considering veneers as an option these days, particularly in my dentist office here in Van Nuys! We have been doing this process for years and have many, many satisfied customers.  

What are veneers?Veneers are strong but thin bonds on the front of your teeth. They have a really natural appearance and can be just the thing you need to give you a great smile, and boost your confidence! 

Why should I get them?Veneers are a great way to fix your teeth. You can really create a great smile by whitening your teeth, closing in spaces and straightening crooked teeth. People often consider veneers if  

  • their teeth or fillings are stained or yellow
  • their teeth are crooked or snaggled
  • their teeth are broken or chipped
  • their teeth have spaces

 

How is it done?The first step is to come in for a consultation.  Dr. Fields will meet with you to assess your teeth and what the best procedure will be for you. Then an impression of your teeth is taken to make sure your veneers will be an exact fit. Some minor contouring of your teeth may be done before the veneers are bonded. You will immediately see the results of your fantastic new smile! 

If you are looking for a dentist office in Van Nuys where you can get top-of-the-line veneers, I can promise you that we can offer you the best service and quality care, and leave you with a happier, brighter, smile!!!
