What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, tooth-colored porcelain or composite shell layers customized to match the shape, color, and facial structure of your teeth, ensuring a natural-looking and seamless smile. Veneers offer a minimally invasive option, with some cases requiring just a single visit! Our personalized approach to veneers ensures you receive the best possible results for a healthy, beautiful, and confident smile.

  • Discolored

Different Types of Dental Veneers

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers can correct various dental and cosmetic imperfections, such as chips, cracks, stains, and minor misalignments, providing a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing smile. The composite resin veneer procedure typically involves minimal tooth preparation, preserving the natural tooth structure. The composite resin is carefully shaped and bonded to the teeth, resulting in improved symmetry, color, and overall appearance.

No-Prep Porcelain Veneers

No-prep porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells that require minimal tooth preparation. Unlike traditional veneers, which require the removal of a small amount of tooth enamel, no-prep veneers can be bonded directly to the surface of your teeth with little or no preparation. This means that you can enjoy the benefits of porcelain veneers without any discomfort or sensitivity.

Lumineers

Lumineers are a type of ultra-thin porcelain dental veneer designed to be even thinner than traditional veneers. They’re typically about the same thickness as a contact lens and require minimal tooth preparation. Lumineers can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic dental problems, including stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth.

Zirconia Veneers

Zirconia veneers are made from a type of dental ceramic that is known for its strength and durability. Unlike traditional porcelain veneers, which can chip or crack over time, zirconia veneers are highly resistant to wear and tear. They are also more translucent than traditional porcelain, making them an excellent choice for patients who want a more natural-looking smile.

More Than 30 Years of Custom Veneer Placement

The porcelain veneer process begins with a detailed discussion with our top-rated dentist to go over your smile goals and treatment plan.

Dr. Chaves will first scrape away a tiny amount of your enamel’s outer layer to ensure that the exterior of the tooth provides an ideal bonding surface for the veneer. Next, we’ll use digital imaging technology to take an impression of your dental arch, which will be used to design your custom veneers in the ideal size, shape, and color at a dental lab.

After your veneer teeth have been placed, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment at our Woodland Hills dental office to ensure proper fit and aesthetics. Veneers are easily maintained with regular brushing and flossing routines and rarely require extra care.

Each patient’s distinct facial features, such as bone structure, lip line, and even skin tone are perfectly complemented by the aesthetic effects of high-end dental veneers. This simple procedure helps many patients build the smile of their dreams and is one of the fastest cosmetic solutions for patients looking to achieve a celebrity-like smile.

Porcelain Veneer Cost

The cost of porcelain veneers can vary depending on several factors, such as the number of veneers needed, the complexity of the case, and the location of the dental practice. While they may be more expensive than other cosmetic dental options, veneers offer exceptional durability, stain resistance, and a natural-looking appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

With proper care and maintenance, they can last for 10 to 15 years or even longer. Porcelain veneers are known for their durability and longevity. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential to maximize the lifespan of your veneers.

Porcelain veneers are resistant to staining and discoloration, which is one of their advantages. However, they can’t be whitened through traditional methods. If you desire a whiter shade for your veneers, it’s advisable to discuss your options with a dentist who can guide you on potential solutions, such as replacing the veneers with a lighter shade or considering alternative cosmetic treatments.

In general, the veneer process shouldn’t be painful. Many dentists will use a local anesthetic when shaving the small amount of enamel that needs to be removed. There may be some slight discomfort as you get used to your new veneers.
