Porcelain Dental Veneers in Beverly Hills
Create Your Perfect Smile with Custom Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth to create a flawless smile. These permanent restorations correct discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment with stunning, natural-looking results. At Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, I have perfected the art of veneer placement, helping patients throughout Los Angeles achieve the confident, beautiful smiles they’ve always wanted.
What Are Porcelain Dental Veneers?
Porcelain dental veneers are wafer-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that bond permanently to your tooth surfaces. Each veneer is custom-crafted to match your desired tooth shape, size, and color. Specifically, they range from 0.5 to 0.7 millimeters thick, slightly thicker than a dime. This thickness allows them to mask underlying tooth imperfections completely while providing exceptional durability.
These restorations differ from other cosmetic options in several important ways. Unlike teeth whitening, which only addresses color, veneers simultaneously correct shape, alignment, and shade. Furthermore, they resist staining far better than natural tooth enamel. Compared to dental bonding, porcelain veneers last significantly longer and maintain their appearance beautifully. As a result, they represent the gold standard for comprehensive smile makeovers.
Porcelain veneers can address numerous cosmetic concerns effectively. They cover stubborn stains that don’t respond to whitening treatments. Additionally, they repair chipped or worn teeth instantly. They close gaps between teeth without orthodontics. Moreover, they can make teeth appear straighter and more uniform. Patients from West Hollywood, Century City, and throughout Los Angeles choose veneers when they want dramatic, lasting transformations.
The Porcelain Veneers Treatment Process
Your veneer journey begins with an in-depth smile design consultation at Smile Angels of Beverly Hills. First, I examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health thoroughly. Then, we discuss your aesthetic goals and review before-and-after photographs of previous cases. Next, I may create a digital preview of your future smile using advanced imaging technology. This preview helps ensure we’re aligned on your vision before beginning treatment.
During your preparation appointment, I carefully reshape the front surface of each tooth receiving a veneer. This process removes a thin layer of enamel to accommodate the veneer’s thickness. Then, I take precise impressions using digital scanning technology for exceptional accuracy. These impressions are sent to our master ceramist who handcrafts your custom veneers. Meanwhile, I place temporary veneers to protect your teeth and maintain your appearance. The fabrication process typically takes two to three weeks.
At your final appointment, I remove the temporary veneers and check each porcelain veneer’s fit meticulously. We verify the shape, color, and alignment meet your expectations perfectly. Once approved, I bond each veneer permanently using advanced dental adhesive and curing technology. Finally, I make precise adjustments to ensure your bite feels completely natural. Most patients throughout Beverly Hills and Los Angeles leave with their complete smile transformation, ready to show off their new confidence immediately.
Porcelain Veneers Cost and Financing
The investment in porcelain veneers reflects their superior quality, customization, and longevity. While they represent a significant commitment, veneers can last 15 to 25 years with proper care. Therefore, they provide outstanding long-term value compared to temporary cosmetic solutions. The number of veneers you need directly affects your total investment. Most smile makeovers involve six to ten veneers on the upper front teeth.
At Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, I’m dedicated to making smile transformations accessible to everyone. Consequently, we offer flexible financing options designed for patients throughout Los Angeles with varying budgets. Many patients choose convenient monthly payment plans with competitive rates. Some dental insurance plans may cover a portion if veneers restore damaged teeth. I encourage you to schedule a free consultation where we can assess your needs and discuss personalized payment options.

Frequently Asked Questions About Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers typically last 15 to 25 years with proper care and maintenance. Many of my Beverly Hills patients have veneers that remain beautiful for decades. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings help maximize their lifespan. Additionally, avoiding habits like nail-biting, chewing ice, or opening packages with your teeth protects your investment. Good oral hygiene practices, including daily brushing and flossing, keep the underlying teeth and gums healthy beneath your veneers.
Yes, porcelain veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic treatment. The preparation process removes a thin layer of enamel that doesn’t grow back. Therefore, you’ll always need veneers or another restoration on those teeth. However, this permanence ensures a stable, long-lasting result. When veneers eventually need replacement, I simply remove the old ones and bond new veneers. Most patients throughout Los Angeles appreciate the lasting transformation veneers provide.
No, when placed properly by an experienced cosmetic dentist, veneers don’t damage your teeth. The preparation process removes only a minimal amount of enamel, leaving the tooth structure strong and healthy. Furthermore, veneers actually protect the underlying tooth from further wear and damage. At Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, I use conservative preparation techniques that preserve maximum tooth structure. Your natural teeth remain healthy beneath the veneers indefinitely with proper oral hygiene.
Can porcelain veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining and discoloration. Unlike natural tooth enamel, the glazed ceramic surface doesn’t absorb pigments from coffee, wine, or tobacco. As a result, your veneers maintain their bright, white appearance for many years. However, the cement line where veneers meet natural teeth can potentially stain without proper care. Regular professional cleanings at our Beverly Hills office keep this margin clean. Patients from West Hollywood and Century City love that their veneers stay beautiful with minimal effort.
Absolutely. When designed by a skilled cosmetic dentist, porcelain veneers look incredibly natural and lifelike. High-quality dental porcelain mimics the translucency and light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel perfectly. Furthermore, I customize every aspect of your veneers—shape, size, color, and texture—to complement your facial features. My artistic approach ensures results that enhance your natural beauty rather than looking artificial. Nobody will know you have veneers unless you choose to tell them. Your smile will simply look like the best version of itself.
