What Are Porcelain Veneers?

In this video, Dr. Lilian Jaime explains what porcelain veneers are and how they improve appearance with minimal tooth removal.

A porcelain veneer is a thin layer of porcelain that is bonded to the front of a tooth. Veneers are used to improve the size, length, or color of teeth and provide a long-term cosmetic solution.

The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring only a small amount of tooth structure to be removed. We design the veneers digitally to ensure accuracy and a natural look. Within a few weeks, the permanent veneers are ready and securely cemented to your teeth.

If you or someone you love is looking to enhance their smile, contact Sunshine Dental in Albuquerque, NM, for a free consultation to learn how our porcelain veneers can beautify your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.

Veneers vs. Lumineers: What a Cosmetic Dentist Wants You To Know

Veneers vs. Lumineers sounds like a comparison between two separate cosmetic treatments, but the names are a little deceptive. “Veneer” is the general dental term for a thin facing placed over the front of a tooth. “Lumineers,” a name that calls to mind brighter, more luminous teeth, refers to a specific brand of porcelain veneer. In other words, all [...]

Albuquerque Implant Dentist Answers Your Toughest Treatment Questions

Finding an Albuquerque implant dentist involves a few important decisions. You want to know what can be done for your missing teeth, but you also want to understand how your dentist will approach treatment. Will your existing bone support implants?

How Quickly Should You Act With a Knocked-Out Tooth?

A knocked-out tooth leaves you with a problem you can actually hold in your hand. What you do next can affect whether your dentist has an opportunity to save it. If you can find the tooth, pick it up by the white crown, not the root. Do not scrub it or leave it sitting dry. A permanent tooth may [...]

4 Signs You May Be Overdue for Denture Stabilization

For some patients, though, four traditional implants may not be the best fit. Some worry about the cost, while others have been told they do not have [...]

Can You Reverse Gum Disease? Why Treatment Is Always Worthwhile

Gum disease can be easy to miss at first. The earliest signs may be as subtle as bleeding when you brush, tenderness along the gumline, or gums that look a little more red or swollen than usual. By the time the problem feels serious, the infection may have already progressed. So, can you reverse gum disease? At Sunshine Dental, [...]

What To Look for in an Albuquerque Dental Implant Center

Most people do not search for an Albuquerque dental implant center out of curiosity. They search because eating has become difficult, their denture will not stay in place, or they worry they are running out of options for their teeth.
