Porcelain Veneers in Los Angeles, CA
Transform Your Smile with Custom Cosmetic Enhancements

What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. Custom-designed for your unique smile, veneers are an excellent option for improving:
- Discolored or permanently stained teeth
- Chipped, cracked, or worn enamel
- Gaps between teeth
- Slight misalignment or uneven teeth
- Irregular shape or size
Veneers are a key component of many smile makeovers and provide immediate cosmetic transformation with long-lasting results.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers offer numerous benefits, including:
- Natural appearance and translucency
- Stain-resistant surface for a long-lasting bright smile
- Minimal tooth preparation
- Durable and strong enough for everyday use
- Custom color-matching to blend with your existing teeth
They’re an excellent alternative to teeth whitening for patients with resistant stains or discoloration from previous fillings or dental trauma.
What to Expect: The Veneers Process
We take a detailed, personalized approach to ensure your veneers meet your expectations and lifestyle.
Step 1: Consultation & Smile Design
We evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and create a digital or mock-up preview of your new look.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
A small amount of enamel is removed to make room for the veneers. We then take digital impressions for the lab to craft your custom veneers.
Step 3: Temporary Veneers (if needed)
You may wear temporary veneers while your permanent ones are being fabricated.
Step 4: Final Placement
Your porcelain veneers are securely bonded, shaped, and polished—resulting in a bright, balanced, natural smile.
We may recommend combining veneers with clear aligners or porcelain crowns depending on your needs.
Are Veneers Right for You?
You may be a great candidate if you:
- Have healthy gums and teeth free of decay
- Want to correct multiple cosmetic flaws at once
- Are looking for a longer-lasting solution than whitening or bonding
- Desire a smile upgrade without orthodontics
Veneers are not typically used to restore severely damaged teeth—crowns or dental implants may be better for those cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care and routine cleanings, veneers typically last 10–15 years.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic treatment, as a small amount of enamel is removed during preparation.
Do veneers stain or discolor?
Porcelain is stain-resistant. However, maintaining great oral hygiene and avoiding excessive staining agents like red wine or tobacco helps preserve their brightness.
Is the process painful?
Not at all. Most patients experience little to no discomfort. Local anesthesia is used if needed, especially during tooth preparation.
