Dr. Sharon Mateja offers porcelain veneers at her Rancho Cucamonga office, helping patients to achieve a symmetrical, beautiful smile in as little as two visits. These thin porcelain shells are custom-crafted to conceal minor imperfections in your smile, including chips, cracks, discoloration, or slight spacing issues. If you have healthy teeth and gums, but feel self-conscious about the appearance of your teeth, you may be a good candidate for veneers. To learn more, contact us today.

Dental Veneers: The Basics

Veneers are made of thin pieces of porcelain that attach to the surface of your teeth, complementing your entire smile to achieve an attractive, symmetrical appearance. Veneers are carefully shaped and tinted to match your natural teeth, giving you a dramatically improved, yet natural-looking smile.

During your first visit, Dr. Mateja will carefully remove the outer layer of enamel so the tooth can accommodate the veneer. She will then make an impression of your teeth, which will be sent to an offsite lab, where skilled technicians will carefully create your veneers. This process usually takes about two weeks. In the meantime, you will wear temporary veneers.

Once the veneers are completed, you will return for your second visit. At that time, Dr. Mateja will gently etch your teeth to provide a stronger bonding surface for the veneers. She will attach the veneers using special dental cement. When all veneers are in place, she will shine a curing light onto your teeth to harden the cement. After just two visits, you can leave the office with a dramatically improved smile.

Personalized Enhancement, Complete with Previews

Because veneers can make such a significant difference in your overall appearance and self-confidence, it is important to work with a dentist who offers truly personalized service. When you receive dental veneers from Dr. Mateja, she first performs a full occlusal analysis to ensure that your veneers not only look great, but function properly as well. She also realizes that you may be apprehensive about what you will look like after you receive your veneers. To alleviate your worries and to ensure that your new veneers meet your expectations, she performs a complete cosmetic workup at the first appointment, including photography and a digital mockup. She will also present you with a wax model for your approval. This comprehensive process ensures your complete satisfaction with the final product by providing an accurate preview of the results you can expect to achieve.
