Veneers can help with tooth sensitivity, making it easier to enjoy hot and cold food!
Dr. Leila will start the consultation by going over any issues you have with your teeth, and discuss how you’d like to improve them. She will explain how veneers work and together you’ll decide if they are the best option for you.
Dr. Leila will then create a personalized treatment plan and go over the details with you. The plan will include how many veneers you’ll need and show the teeth that will be addressed. The treatment plan will also outline any other cosmetic or restorative treatments required.
Dr. Leila will begin preparing your teeth for the procedure. First, your teeth will be cleaned and your mouth numbed so that you don’t experience discomfort. Then a thin layer (0.5mm or less) of enamel will be removed from each tooth. This is necessary for the veneer to attach to your tooth and will prevent it from becoming too thick.
After your teeth are prepped, we will take a series of impressions and pictures of your teeth. The dental lab will use this info to create veneers that will expertly suit your teeth. You’ll receive temporary resin veneers when you leave the office. These will protect your teeth until your permanent veneers are received from the lab.
When we receive your permanent veneers, we will call and ask you to come back to the office for a fitting appointment. During your appointment, Dr. Leila will assure that you are satisfied with the look and feel of your new veneers.
Once the feel and look of your veneers are checked, we will bond them to your teeth by using a powerful dental cement. When the procedure is over, you’ll be ready to head home with your brand-new, beautiful smile.
If you have severe tooth staining or discoloration, veneers are a great option. They offer a permanent solution by completely covering up the stained tooth. This restores your smile back to a bright and natural-looking shade.
Teeth that are worn down from issues like teeth grinding (bruxism) can be restored with veneers. They are custom-made to restore the shape of your teeth to enhance your smile. If you have chronic issues with teeth grinding, consult with your dentist first as this can damage veneers.
Veneers seamlessly cover your teeth and are often used to remedy minor chipping or breakage. Additionally, they may be used to treat misshapen teeth if you are wanting a straighter, more even smile.
But note that this fix is limited to minor breakage. If you are dealing with a serious tooth injury, you may require a dental crown or root canal therapy. Teeth that are damaged on the outer layers of the enamel can be restored with veneers.
Minor tooth gaps or misalignments can be resolved with veneers. They blend with the teeth, closing any little gaps or imperfections. This gives you a straight, even smile that you won’t be afraid to show off.
Be aware that gaps or misalignments have to be minor for the veneer to fix it. This is because the veneer needs support to bind to the tooth. Your dentist may recommend orthodontic treatment for more serious teeth gaps or misalignments. Invisalign or braces can fix major misalignment issues and may be required before getting veneers.
Porcelain veneers are crafted to match your natural smile shade for a bright, brilliant grin.

Veneers are used to improve the appearance of stained, chipped, cracked, uneven, or slightly misaligned teeth. Patients seeking a trusted dentist in Poway often choose veneers to achieve a brighter, more balanced smile with natural-looking results.
Veneers are considered a permanent treatment because a thin layer of enamel is removed before they are bonded to the tooth. While veneers can be replaced if damaged or worn, the procedure itself is not reversible, which is why proper care and regular dental visits are important.
With good oral hygiene and routine dental care, veneers can last 10–20 years or longer. Brushing, daily flossing, avoiding hard foods, and keeping up with regular cleanings through preventive dentistry all help extend their lifespan.
Most veneers are made from porcelain, a durable and translucent material that closely mimics natural tooth enamel. Some veneers are made from composite resin, which may be used temporarily or in cases where a less invasive option is preferred.
Traditional veneers are about 0.5mm thick and usually require minimal enamel removal. Lumineers are thinner—around 0.2mm—and may be placed with little to no enamel reduction. Your dentist will help determine which option best fits your smile goals and tooth structure.
Veneers are primarily a cosmetic dentistry treatment because they focus on improving appearance. However, in some cases, they may also provide added protection to weakened teeth.
The cost of veneers depends on the number of teeth treated, your oral health, and the complexity of your case. Because veneers are considered cosmetic, most dental insurance plans do not cover them, though coverage can vary. Our team can help review options through your dental insurance and discuss financing during your consultation.
