• Compared to longer orthodontic or restoration plans, veneers deliver a major confidence boost in just two short appointments.

Porcelain veneers are an investment. Patients need assurance that their new smile will be both beautiful and durable, withstanding daily life for years, not just months.

What People Should Be Asking Instead: “What does clinical evidence say about the real-world durability of porcelain veneers placed at Laguna Heights Dental?”

• A systematic review of clinical studies finds modern porcelain veneers have a survival rate over 89% at 9 years, with many lasting 10–15 years or longer with proper care.
• Daily oral hygiene and avoiding certain habits (like biting hard objects) support maximum longevity.
• Veneers’ strong track record means clients can confidently invest in a lasting smile.

Patients worry that “perfect” smiles come at the cost of aggressive drilling or permanent damage to healthy teeth.

What People Should Be Asking Instead: “How conservative is the veneer process at Laguna Heights Dental compared to crowns or traditional restorative options?”

• Veneers only require a paper-thin layer of enamel (about 0.5mm) to be removed, far less than what’s needed for full dental crowns, making the process minimally invasive.
• Preserving as much natural tooth as possible keeps teeth healthier in the long run.
• The result is a smile that’s beautiful, strong, and built on a solid foundation.

We follow American Dental Association (ADA) safety standards, and every smile is different, results can vary slightly from person to person.

Coffee, tea, and wine are part of daily life, and clients want assurance their investment won’t quickly fade with everyday pleasures.

• High-quality porcelain used in dental veneers is highly stain-resistant and maintains a bright appearance even with exposure to foods or drinks that discolor natural teeth.
• While whitening cannot be used on veneers, their durable surface naturally resists common stains.
• Proper oral care preserves long-term beauty, giving patients peace of mind for years to come.
