Oct 31, 2013 /prREACH/ -- San Clemente, CA dentist, Dr. David Buchan recently introduced porcelain veneers for patients desiring beautiful smiles without the time and hassle involved with orthodontia. With porcelain veneers, Dr. David Buchan is able to provide patients with jagged, chipped, misshapen, discolored, or misaligned teeth a more beautiful smile they can feel confident about.
The process of getting veneers is typically completed within just two visits, with little or no anesthesia. Dr. Buchan prepares the tooth by simply buffing and shaping the surface and then making an impression, or mold. The shade of the veneer is then chosen by the patient. On the second visit, the teeth are cleaned with a specific cleanser, which allows for a maximum bond. The bonding cement is placed and then the veneer is set. To complete the treatment, a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.
“We see a lot of patient with perfectly healthy teeth who just aren’t satisfied with the way they look,” said David A. Buchan, D.D.S., cosmetic and dental implants dentist in San Clemente, CA. “With porcelain veneers, we’re able to transform their smile in just a couple visits and give them a look they can be proud to show off when they smile.”
Porcelain veneers can be used to effectively change the look of one tooth, several teeth, or the majority of a top or bottom arch. Dr. Buchan commonly uses veneers to cover uneven spaces between or to re-shape teeth that are too small or too large, giving the smile a more uniform appearance. Porcelain veneers are much more durable than composite veneers, and are much less likely to stain as well.
Providing patients with the latest and best in general and cosmetic dentistry is important to Dr. Buchan and his experienced staff. He is a trained dental implants and sedation dentist in San Clemente, CA for patients seeking beautiful permanent smiles without anxiety or pain. He is trained in, and is a provider of Invisalign as an alternative to traditional metal braces. And for brighter, whiter teeth, he also provides teeth whitening in San Clemente, CA.
Dr. Buchan earned his undergraduate degree from UCLA in psychology and biology. He then graduated from the UCLA School of Dentistry and has practiced dentistry in San Clemente, CA for 20 years. Throughout his career in dentistry, he has traveled to the remote areas of Belize, Mexico, Papua New Guinea and El Salvador to provide dental services to patients in these areas that lack dentistry.
