Porcelain Veneers

If your teeth are severely stained, the best “Spring cleaning” approach may be porcelain veneers. Dr. Curtis Couch has executed custom veneers for his patients for many years with only the highest level of both technical skill, and attention to aesthetic detail. Porcelain veneers a simple solution for difficult and embarrassing discolorations, chips, or cracks on the exterior of teeth. Through the application of a thin porcelain shell bound to the surface of teeth, your smile aesthetic is dramatically improved.

Porcelain veneers created by Dr. Couch are carefully crafted to reflect the natural look, feel and natural transparency of teeth.

After veneers are adhered, they resist daily stains that can come from drinking coffee, teas and other dark colored drinks such as soft drinks and wine. Porcelain veneers allow you to keep on sipping without worry about how they will dim down your Springtime smile. The porcelain we utilize is of the highest quality that will help to bolster the strength of teeth for years. With mindful maintenance both at home, and with regular visits to our Thousand Oaks office, your veneers will keep you smiling ear to ear for many Springs to come.

Dental Bridges and Crowns

Bridges and crowns are a great way to get teeth in great, strong shape during the time of growth and revitalization.

Bridges

Bridges, as implied by their name, literally bridge a gap between one or more missing teeth. They are the best solution for several missing teeth caused by accident, devastating gum disease or simply old age. Various problems can occur if a substantial space between teeth is left untreated. Surrounding teeth can shift causing them to become severely crooked, and you could lose proper function of chewing or speech. Alignment of bite can be greatly compromised, putting you at risk of future TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) problems.

Crowns

If these problems are only apparent to one missing tooth, they can be corrected through the application and use of a dental crown. Crowns are a restoration procedure that can also greatly enhance and strengthen teeth. During treatment, a simple tooth cap that is crafted to the natural shape of teeth, and then placed over the entire tooth, protecting it from further damage. During Spring we are encouraged to clear cupboards, crowded corners and make space–but not between teeth!
