- Stained or discolored teeth

Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells of dental-grade porcelain bonded permanently to the front surface of your teeth. They correct cosmetic imperfections including staining, chips, cracks, gaps, and uneven shapes, giving you a natural-looking, flawless smile in just a few visits.
Veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments available. They can address permanently stained or discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening, chipped or cracked teeth, gaps between teeth, slightly misaligned teeth, and teeth that are too small or irregularly shaped.
The process typically takes 2 to 3 appointments. First is a consultation where your dentist evaluates your smile and designs your treatment plan. Next is a preparation appointment where a small amount of enamel is removed to make room for the veneer. Finally, at the bonding appointment, your custom veneers are permanently cemented using a specialized bonding agent.
Veneers are considered irreversible because a thin layer of enamel is removed during preparation. The veneers themselves will eventually need replacement. With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last between 10 and 15 years, and often longer with consistent oral hygiene habits.
The average cost in the Los Angeles area typically ranges from $900 to $3,500 per tooth, depending on the level of customization, materials used, and the dentist's expertise. Sherman Oaks and Encino tend to offer more moderate pricing compared to Beverly Hills or West Hollywood. Most patients treat 6 to 10 teeth for a full smile transformation. We offer flexible financing to make treatment accessible. Contact us for a personalized quote.
Because veneers are a cosmetic procedure, they are generally not covered by dental insurance. However, our Sherman Oaks office offers financing options and payment plans to help make your smile goals a reality.
Not everyone is an ideal candidate. Only people with healthy teeth and gums qualify for dental veneers. Active decay or gum disease must be treated first. Patients with severe teeth grinding or significant misalignment may need alternative treatments. A consultation is the best way to find out if veneers are right for you.
Absolutely. Modern porcelain mimics the translucency and light-reflecting properties of natural enamel. Your dentist will discuss shade options and recommend a color that best complements your natural teeth, or you can choose a brighter shade for a more dramatic transformation.
Unlike natural enamel, porcelain has a smooth, almost glass-like surface that prevents pigments from food and beverages from attaching, making them highly resistant to staining from coffee, wine, tea, and other common culprits. This is one of the biggest advantages over both composite veneers and natural teeth.
Veneer care is straightforward. Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss daily, visit your dentist every six months, and wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or hard candy, and your veneers can easily last well over a decade.
