If you are remiss to change some of your habits, Dr. Khashayar Khomejany might recommend a physical restoration of your smile using dental veneers. This might also include restoring certain teeth with a porcelain dental crown.

The veneers are basically thin shells that are made from a special porcelain-ceramic material. They are meticulously crafted in a dental lab to fit over the faces of the teeth in your smile. Once they have been cemented in place, they will be indistinguishable from natural tooth enamel.

The porcelain veneers will not be as receptive to stains as natural tooth enamel. This will make it easy to prevent stains from setting into your smile in the future.

After a brief examination of the teeth in your smile, your dentist will remove a small amount of enamel from the face of each tooth and create a detailed impression of your teeth. This will be sent to a dental lab to be used as a guide for crafting your custom porcelain dental veneers.

Any teeth that have been significantly compromised by old dental work or shallow tooth enamel might need to be prepared for a porcelain dental crown restoration.

We will call you to schedule the second appointment when your veneers and any porcelain crowns are ready. During this appointment, your dentist will cement your new dental veneers in place.

To prevent these problems from befalling you, Dr. Khashayar Khomejany can offer a few different options. This most commonly involves installing a dental bridge or a dental implant.

A bridge is a single piece of dental work that is comprised of three artificial teeth. The two teeth on the end are dental crowns that will anchor the bridge onto abutments that are formed from the cores of the two closest nearby teeth on each side of the void.

Dental implant restorations occur in two distinct phases. This starts by having a titanium abutment surgically inserted directly into the underlying bone structure in the socket. Titanium will gradually bond with the surrounding bone tissues to create a strong anchor point for an eventual dental crown. Once this has been achieved, we can go about the standard process of fitting the titanium abutment with a crown.

If you live in the Vallejo, California, area and you have lost a tooth, you should call 707-642-1360 to set up a dental restoration consultation at Plaza Dental Care.
