Porcelain Veneers in Encinitas, CA
The Perfect Mix of Strength and Beauty
Porcelain veneers are some of the most lifelike restorations available to cosmetic dentists; they mimic the visual characteristics of natural healthy teeth very closely. In addition to their esthetics, another advantage of using veneers is that they can be used to correct alignment issues rather than lengthy orthodontics. These restorations are strong and durable and can last for many years with the right care.
Patients seeking porcelain veneers in Encinitas have come to Dr. Mark Galli for over 15 years. He can improve the look, feel and function of your teeth to create a beautiful, bright smile.

The Perfect Mix of Strength and Beauty
What Can Veneers Fix?
Tooth color — veneers can cover up stains and discoloration that won’t respond to teeth whitening, and can also revitalize dull looking teeth
Tooth size — veneers can lengthen or widen teeth that are naturally too big or small, or have become shorter over time
Tooth shape — veneers can mask teeth that are abnormally worn and look shorter, flatter or rough on the edges, and improve teeth that are unusually shaped and don’t match the surrounding teeth
Alignment and spacing — veneers can close dark gaps at the gum line or between teeth, as well as fix alignment problems that might otherwise need orthodontics; if alignment or spacing problems are more serious, orthodontic treatment with Invisalign may be needed
Planning Your Veneers
The first step toward a more beautiful smile with veneers is to collaborate with Dr. Galli, who will help you identify your specific needs and goals of treatment. He can help you discover what would be your ideal smile and then explain how he can best help you achieve it. Based on this information, Dr. Galli will create a plan for your care.
Placing Porcelain Veneers
After the planning and design phase, the teeth are reshaped to accommodate the porcelain shell. Digital or traditional impressions capture the new shape and allow the computer or lab to design and create custom veneers from medical-grade porcelain. These are tried on the teeth, adjusted and bonded into place either the same day or, sometimes, at a later date, depending on your case.
Your veneers are beautiful, very durable and will last a long time with the proper care. You should brush and floss them daily, and see Dr. Galli at your proper hygiene interval for a check-up and cleaning. If you have a clenching or grinding habit, the longevity of your veneers is often improved by wearing a night guard, which is usually part of long-term care.
