Porcelain Veneers in Encino, CA

Veneer being placed on a tooth, encino ca Dr. Sheila Mahooti offers porcelain veneers and Lumineers® to help our patients discover their best smiles. We custom-craft each veneer precisely using the finest quality materials that deliver beautiful, long-lasting results.

How Do Veneers Work?

Traditional veneers involve placing super-thin, custom-crafted shells of porcelain on the front surfaces of the teeth we’re treating. Once applied, they conceal the tooth beneath and whatever smile imperfections concern you.

Dr. Mahooti might recommend veneers to correct a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including:

Discolored or stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening
Chipped or cracked teeth
Gaps between teeth
Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth
Teeth that are too small or large
Minor misalignments

Veneer Options to Fit Your Needs

At Signature Smiles of LA, we offer traditional porcelain veneers, Lumineers, and composite veneers, giving you several options to achieve the perfect smile.

Porcelain Veneers — These are the most popular veneers because they're known for their strength, durability, and natural appearance. We work with trusted custom dental labs that carefully craft veneers that perfectly match your teeth.
Lumineers® — A brand of ultra-thin porcelain veneers, Lumineers require little to no tooth preparation, making them a less invasive option. Dr. Mahooti can place this type of veneer in one appointment, and because they're minimally invasive, you can have them removed to reveal your dentition.
Composite Veneers — Made from composite resin, Dr. Mahooti applies these veneers to your teeth in a single visit. They are a more affordable option, and we can easily repair them if worn or damaged.

What's Involved with Getting Porcelain Veneers?

Veneer being placed on front tooth, encino ca Before recommending this treatment, Dr. Mahooti conducts a thorough oral health evaluation at our Encino, CA, dental office to ensure the health of your teeth and gums. Good oral health provides a stable foundation for veneers to adhere properly and remain durable.

The process typically involves the following steps:

Tooth Preparation — We remove a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth to make space for the veneers. Lumineers require little to no tooth preparation.
Impressions and Design — We take highly accurate digital impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental lab, which crafts your custom veneers.
Temporary Veneers — We place temporaries on your teeth to protect them while the lab creates your final veneers.
Final Placement — Once your veneers are ready, Dr. Mahooti carefully fits and bonds them to your teeth, giving you a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do veneers last?

When properly cared for, veneers can last ten years or longer. The key is simple steps like good oral hygiene, routine dental checkups, and avoiding foods that can damage them.

Your team at Signature Smiles of LA will provide specific instructions on how you can ensure you get the most longevity out of them.

3 Tips for Caring for Veneers

Keeping veneer teeth healthy and free of cavities and gum disease is crucial to avoid replacing them.

1. Practice Good Oral Hygiene

Brush your teeth at least twice daily with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Floss once daily to remove plaque between teeth. If plaque is not removed, it turns into a hard substance called tartar, which promotes gum disease.

2. Attend Routine Dental Checkups

We typically recommend dental checkups every six months. Attending these appointments allows us to check your veneers, evaluate your oral health, and promptly detect and treat any issues.

3. Be Mindful of Damaging Foods and Oral Habits

Porcelain veneers are very strong and durable. However, you can chip or crack them by biting down on hard or crunchy foods like popcorn, crusty bread, nuts, and hard candy. Don’t chew on ice or bite your fingernails, and never use your teeth as tools to open packages.

Following these simple steps will allow you to enjoy your beautiful new smile for many years. If you have questions or want to schedule an appointment, please call Signature Smiles of LA in Encino, CA.
