Dental Veneers in Valencia, CA
Dental veneers are a fantastic way to transform your smile. They are thin shells made from porcelain or composite resin that cover the front surface of your teeth. Veneers can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, discolored, misshapen, or spaced out.

How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers work by covering the front surface of your teeth with a thin layer of porcelain or composite resin. This process involves removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth to make room for the veneer. Once the veneer is in place, it is bonded to the tooth using a special adhesive.
-
What types of dental veneers are available?
There are two main types of dental veneers: porcelain veneers and composite resin veneers. Porcelain veneers are highly durable and resistant to stains, making them a popular choice for long-term solutions. Composite resin veneers are less expensive and only take a single visit for us to apply them, but they may not last as long as porcelain veneers.

Do Dental Veneers Stain?
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining, which helps maintain a bright and beautiful smile. Composite resin veneers are more susceptible to staining, but with proper care and regular cleaning, they can also maintain a great appearance.
-
Are Dental Veneers Permanent?
Dental veneers are a long-lasting solution, but they are not considered permanent. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer, while composite resin veneers typically last 5-7 years. Over time, you may need to replace or repair them to maintain the desired look and function.
