Veneers, crowns and smile makeovers in Los Algodones

Veneers are thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front of the teeth to change their shape, size and color. Crowns cover the whole tooth to rebuild it when it is broken, worn or heavily filled. At LOSAN Dental, Dr. Diego Lopez designs each smile around your face and bite, and chooses the most conservative option that solves the problem.

How is a smile makeover designed?

  1. Smile design. Photos, shade matching and a plan of the shape and length of each tooth.
  2. Preview. When indicated, a mock-up lets you see the proposed shape before the final work.
  3. Preparation and impressions. The teeth are prepared as conservatively as possible.
  4. Bonding. The final veneers or crowns are tried in, adjusted and bonded.

Questions about veneers and crowns

Should I get veneers or crowns?

Veneers cover only the front of healthy teeth to change their shape and color. Crowns cover the whole tooth and are used when a tooth is broken, heavily filled or after a root canal. Dr. Diego Lopez chooses the most conservative option that solves the problem.

How many trips do I need?

It depends on the treatment. Crowns and veneers can often be completed in a single trip of a few days. Dental implants usually take two trips: one to place the implants and another, after a healing period of a few months, for the final teeth. Your exact plan is defined at your evaluation.

Do dental treatments come with a guarantee?

Yes, most of our dental treatments come with a guarantee. We stand behind our work and will explain the specific terms during your consultation.

How much do dental implants cost in Los Algodones?

The cost depends on how many implants you need, whether you need bone grafting, and the type of final teeth. LOSAN Dental gives every patient a written plan with the total cost before treatment starts.
