Is cosmetic dentistry permanent?
No, most cosmetic dental treatments aren’t considered permanent. The time they last usually depends on how well you care for your teeth. Teeth whitening can last anywhere from six months to three years. Invisalign results are technically permanent, but you must wear your retainer and ensure they stay that way. Porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years or more, making them a successful long-term restoration.
Our range of cosmetic dentistry services includes:
1. Teeth Whitening: Professional teeth whitening treatments to remove stains and discoloration, providing a brighter smile.
2. Porcelain Veneers: Custom-made thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve appearance by covering stains, chips, or gaps.
3. Dental Implants: Surgical placement of artificial tooth roots to support dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, or dentures for a natural-looking smile.
4. Tooth-Colored Fillings: Composite resin fillings used to repair decayed or damaged teeth while matching the natural color of surrounding teeth.

6. Invisalign: Clear aligner trays used to straighten misaligned teeth discreetly and comfortably, without the use of traditional metal braces.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that are attached to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, providing a natural-looking result. Veneers are often used to correct various dental issues such as discoloration, chipping, misalignment, or gaps between teeth.

The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers offer several benefits for individuals looking to improve the appearance of their teeth:
1. Natural appearance: Porcelain veneers are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking result. The ceramic material used in veneers closely resembles the appearance of tooth enamel, giving you a beautiful, lifelike smile.
2. Versatility: Veneers can address a wide range of cosmetic dental issues, including discoloration, stains, chipping, cracks, misalignment, and gaps between teeth. They can effectively enhance the appearance of teeth that are otherwise healthy but have aesthetic imperfections.
3. Minimally invasive: Compared to some other cosmetic dental procedures, such as crowns or orthodontic treatment, veneers are relatively conservative. Only a small amount of enamel needs to be removed from the front surface of the teeth to accommodate the veneers, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
4. Durable: Porcelain veneers are highly durable and resistant to staining, making them a long-lasting solution for improving the appearance of your smile. With proper care and maintenance, veneers can last for many years.
5. Stain-resistant: Porcelain is a non-porous material that is resistant to staining from food, beverages, and tobacco. This means that your veneers will maintain their color and brightness over time, helping you maintain a radiant smile.
6. Easy maintenance: Veneers are easy to care for and require the same oral hygiene routine as natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to keep your veneers and underlying teeth healthy and free of decay.
7. Instant transformation: Unlike some other cosmetic dental procedures that may require multiple appointments or months to achieve results, porcelain veneers can provide a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile in just two visits to the dentist.
Overall, porcelain veneers offer a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for enhancing your smile and boosting your confidence. If you’re considering veneers, it’s important to consult with a qualified dentist to determine if they are the right option for you based on your individual needs and goals.

Porcelain crowns are custom-made dental restorations that fit over your existing teeth to provide protection and improve their appearance. At Quality Dental Group in San Gabriel, CA, the dentist of skilled dental professionals offers porcelain crowns to help you achieve the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve.
What are Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns, also known as ceramic crowns or porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, are dental restorations that completely cover a damaged or weakened tooth. They are designed to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance while providing protection and support. Porcelain crowns are custom-made to match the color, texture, and translucency of natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
Here’s an overview of porcelain crowns and their key features:
1. Material: Porcelain crowns are primarily made of dental ceramic materials, which closely mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel. These materials are durable, biocompatible, and resistant to staining.
2. Structure: Porcelain crowns consist of a single, solid piece that covers the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gumline. In some cases, they may be fused to a metal substructure for added strength and support, particularly for molars and teeth under heavy biting forces.
3. Purpose: Porcelain crowns are used to address a variety of dental issues, including:
Restoring severely decayed or damaged teeth.
- Strengthening teeth weakened by large fillings or root canal treatment.
Improving the appearance of misshapen, discolored, or poorly positioned teeth. - Protecting fractured or cracked teeth from further damage.
- Supporting dental bridges by covering adjacent teeth as abutments.
