Veneers in Encino

A radiant smile has the power to change not only how others see you but also how you feel about yourself. If you’ve been holding back from smiling due to chips, stains, or gaps, dental veneers may offer the perfect cosmetic upgrade. At our Encino dental office, we specialize in delivering natural-looking veneers that enhance your appearance while preserving the character of your smile.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. Crafted from high-quality porcelain or composite resin, they’re color-matched and shaped to harmonize with your natural teeth. Once bonded in place, veneers instantly improve the overall appearance of your smile without looking artificial.

They’re ideal for correcting:

  • Deep discoloration that whitening treatments can’t fix
  • Minor chips or fractures
  • Irregularly shaped or misaligned teeth
  • Small gaps that don’t require orthodontics

Is Veneer Treatment Right for You?

Veneers may be a good fit if:

  • Your teeth are healthy, but have cosmetic flaws
  • You’re unhappy with stains that resist whitening
  • You have a visible chip or worn edge
  • Your teeth are uneven in size or contour
  • You want a straighter-looking smile without braces

Why Encino Patients Choose Veneers

Veneers aren’t just about aesthetics; they’re about confidence. Many of our patients choose veneers because they offer:
A Natural Finish
Designed to mimic your real teeth in shape, color, and texture
Fast Results
Most patients complete their transformation in just two visits
Long-Term Durability
With good care, veneers can last 10 to 15 years or more
Stain Resistance
Porcelain veneers stay brighter longer, even with coffee or wine

Your Veneer Journey: What to Expect

We make the veneer process simple, transparent, and tailored to your needs:

1. Personalized Consultation
We start with a detailed smile analysis and discuss your goals to determine whether veneers align with your vision.

2. Gentle Tooth Preparation
A thin layer of enamel is removed from the surface of the teeth receiving veneers. You’ll be fitted with temporary veneers while your custom ones are being fabricated.

3. Crafting Your Veneers
Your veneers are created in a dental lab to exact specifications based on the look you want, whether that’s subtle refinement or a complete smile makeover.

4. Final Placement
Once ready, the veneers are bonded to your teeth. We fine-tune the shape and polish them for a smooth, lifelike result that feels natural and looks flawless.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are more durable, highly stain-resistant, and closely replicate natural enamel. They generally last 10–20 years. Composite veneers are a more affordable option and can often be completed in a single visit, though they typically last 5–7 years and may stain over time.
Can I eat normally with veneers?
Yes, you can enjoy your usual meals. However, it’s wise to avoid biting directly into hard items like ice, nuts, or hard candies. Be mindful of sticky foods as well.
Do veneers need special care?
Not at all. Stick to brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and attending regular dental checkups. Avoid using your teeth to open packages, and if you clench or grind at night, a custom night guard can help preserve your veneers.
Will veneers change the way I speak?
It’s rare, but some patients may notice a slight adjustment period. Any changes typically resolve within a few days as you get used to your new smile.
