Veneers
Porcelain veneers represent the gold standard for transforming smiles affected by chips, cracks, stains, gaps, or misalignment issues that resist other treatment methods. These ultra-thin shells of medical-grade porcelain bond permanently to your front teeth, creating a natural-looking smile makeover that can last decades with proper care.
At Evergreen Dental Care, we believe everyone deserves to feel confident about their smile’s appearance. Dr. Bartolo Espana specializes in creating custom porcelain veneers that complement your facial features and personality, using advanced materials and techniques to deliver results that look and feel completely natural.
Veneers
Modern veneers combine artistic design with precise dental science to create smiles that appear naturally beautiful rather than obviously artificial. Each veneer measures only about 0.5 millimeters thick, roughly the thickness of a contact lens, yet provides remarkable strength and durability when properly bonded to healthy tooth enamel.
The porcelain material used in quality veneers mimics natural tooth enamel’s light-reflecting properties, creating depth and translucency that cannot be achieved with other cosmetic dentistry materials. Computer-aided design technology helps ensure precise fit and optimal aesthetics before your veneers are crafted by skilled dental technicians.
Premium veneers resist staining from coffee, wine, and other substances that commonly discolor natural teeth. This means your smile maintains its bright, uniform appearance for years without the need for frequent touch-up treatments or special maintenance procedures.
Veneer preparation typically requires removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to accommodate the veneer thickness. This process is usually completed comfortably with local anesthesia, and temporary veneers protect your teeth while your custom restorations are being crafted.
The final placement appointment involves carefully bonding each veneer to your prepared teeth using specialized dental adhesives. Dr. Espana makes final adjustments to ensure proper fit, bite alignment, and optimal aesthetics before permanently cementing your new smile in place.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer with appropriate care and maintenance. Regular preventive dental care, including professional cleanings and examinations, helps protect both your veneers and underlying natural teeth from problems that could compromise their longevity.
Daily oral hygiene remains essential, though you should avoid abrasive toothpastes or hard-bristled brushes that might scratch the porcelain surface. A soft-bristled toothbrush with non-abrasive toothpaste effectively cleans your veneers without causing damage.
Protect your investment by avoiding habits that can chip or crack porcelain, such as biting hard objects, opening packages with your teeth, or grinding your teeth during sleep. If you have bruxism, a custom night guard can protect your veneers from damage while you sleep.

Protect your investment by avoiding habits that can chip or crack porcelain, such as biting hard objects, opening packages with your teeth, or grinding your teeth during sleep. If you grind or clench your teeth (bruxism), a custom nightguard can help protect your veneers while you sleep. Patients with bruxism may be better candidates for full-coverage veneers rather than traditional facial veneers, as full-coverage options provide enhanced protection against the forces of grinding and clenching.
Composite resin bonding represents a more conservative alternative for minor cosmetic issues, though it typically does not last as long or resist staining as effectively as porcelain. Professional teeth whitening might address certain discoloration concerns without requiring any tooth preparation at all.
Porcelain veneers offer a permanent solution to multiple cosmetic dental concerns simultaneously, providing dramatic smile improvement that looks completely natural. The investment in quality veneers pays dividends in increased confidence, improved self-esteem, and the freedom to smile without hesitation in both personal and professional situations.
Dr. Bartolo Espana’s commitment to excellence ensures your veneers will be crafted to the highest standards and placed with meticulous attention to detail.
