If Porcelain Dolls are Fragile, Why are Porcelain Restorations Durable?
June 13, 2018
Before you get started with a cosmetic or restorative dentistry plan that includes dental porcelain, you may be thinking, “Isn’t porcelain fragile?” The answer is, “Yes and no.” While a porcelain doll or a porcelain glass may be fragile, a porcelain knife is strong and so are porcelain restorations. The key is using the highest grade porcelain and cementing it into position properly, so the underlying tooth structures provide support and strength. In fact, porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges, and other restorations are just as strong if not stronger than your healthy tooth enamel, and they can be shaded to perfectly match these natural structures.

Feeling unhappy with your smile can cause a lot of self doubt in your overall appearance, and, surprisingly, can negatively affect the way you interact with the people around you.

Dr. Brandon Kearbey and Dr. Malinda Kearbey are able to deliver amazing smile results to their patients every day using porcelain veneers at their Hillsboro, OR dental office.
Porcelain veneers are able to yield amazing results because they are able to completely revolutionize your smile in a relatively short amount of time. Porcelain veneers are able to cover many flaws within one’s smile, including gaps, misalignments, cracks, chips, stains, and more! Being able to mask years of wear and tear on your smile, they are a wonderful option for those wanting to give themselves a completely new look!
The process begins with a consultation with one of our doctors. Having to evaluate the current condition of your smile, they will be able to tell you whether or not porcelain veneers are the right option for you. You will also be able to use that time to bring up any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure, as we want you to be as informed as possible throughout the entire process. We will make impressions of your smile, and send them to a dental lab to have your veneers custom made. As your veneers are being made, we will keep in mind your wants and needs for your new smile, as well as your facial aesthetic. When your veneers are ready, our doctors will place them and make them permanent with dental resin cement. At the end of the procedure, you are left with an entirely new smile you cannot wait to show off! If you would like the help of Drs. Kearbey with porcelain veneers, contact our office today!

Enhance Your Smile with Custom-Made Porcelain Veneers
August 19, 2013
Every patient wants to have a smile they feel confident about. Unfortunately, not everyone is born with a smile that’s naturally straight or white. That’s why Dr. Brandon Kearbey and Dr. Malinda Kearbey of The Dentists at Orenco Station offer porcelain veneers.
This cosmetic dentistry service is among the most popular offered today. With a few thin pieces of porcelain, the team at The Dentists of Orenco Station can help you transform a stained, misaligned, chipped, or cracked smile into one that looks naturally dazzling. What’s more, the entire procedure can be completed in just two visits to our Hillsboro dental office.
What to Expect from a Porcelain Veneers Procedure
During the first of your two porcelain veneers visits, your doctor will take molds of your smile. We’ll also talk to you about how you want your smile to look when we’re all done. Then, our lab technicians will take the information we gather during that first appointment and use it to make customized veneers that will match the shade and shape of your natural smile.
On your second appointment, we’ll reveal your finished veneers and affix them to the front of your smile. Then, with your transformed smile in place, you can go back to your normal schedule feeling more confident than maybe you ever have.

Our Hillsboro Cosmetic Dentistry Options
April 4, 2013
Do you wish you had a more beautiful, more confident smile? At The Dentists of Orenco Station, Dr. Brandon Kearbey and Dr. Malinda Kearbey can provide effective cosmetic care with some of today’s best cosmetic dentistry services.
Dr. Brandon and Dr. Malinda commit themselves to advanced continuing education in the areas of cosmetic dentistry and reconstructive dentistry. They continue to be trained through Spear Education, a leader in the field. After many hours of study at home, Drs. Brandon and Malinda traveled to the Spear Center in Scottsdale, AZ for an intensive hands-on course. They are also involved in a local Spear Study Club that compliments the other aspects of this education. Through this always ongoing process, they are able to provide you with the best possible care available.
Our services include:
- Teeth whitening
- Porcelain veneers
- Smile makeovers
- ClearCorrect
Using one or more of these, we can help you eliminate embarrassing stains, hide chips or cracks, and straighten misaligned teeth.
Of the cosmetic dentistry services we offer, teeth whitening is one of the most popular. That’s partly because staining is something we all have to face. Many stains are caused by regular, everyday things like coffee, tea, red wine, or soda. Other things that can contribute include tobacco use, aging, and even some medications.
Dr. Brandon Kearbey and Dr. Malinda Kearbey offer two whitening solutions for Hillsboro patients to take advantage of: in-office and take-home teeth whitening. Both can deliver professional results in a way that’s convenient for patients.
Porcelain veneers are also popular for their ability to whiten teeth, in addition to hiding flaws like cracks or chips. The porcelain veneers process takes at least two visits and yields results that look natural and will last for years to come with proper care.
Finally, ClearCorrect is both a restorative and cosmetic dentistry service that uses invisible braces to move teeth into their ideal alignment. With teeth correctly aligned, patients can enjoy improved confidence and better oral health.
