Porcelain Veneers Laguna Niguel

The process takes just two appointments over 2-3 weeks. During your first visit, we design your new smile, prepare your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel, and take impressions for your custom veneers.

You’ll wear temporary veneers while your permanent ones are crafted. At your second visit, we carefully bond your new veneers and make any final adjustments. Most patients are amazed by their transformation and can return to normal activities immediately.

Porcelain veneers typically range from $1,000 to $2,500 per tooth, depending on the complexity of your case and materials used. Most patients need 6-10 veneers for a complete smile transformation, making the total investment $6,000 to $20,000.

While veneers aren’t usually covered by insurance since they’re cosmetic, many patients find the confidence boost and long-term results worth the investment. We offer financing options to make your dream smile affordable.

With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10-15 years before needing replacement. Some patients keep their veneers for 20+ years. Longevity depends on your oral hygiene, lifestyle habits, and avoiding activities that could chip them (like opening packages with your teeth). The porcelain itself doesn’t decay, but you still need to care for your gums and the underlying tooth structure.

Veneers require the same daily care as your natural teeth – regular brushing with non-abrasive toothpaste, daily flossing, and routine dental cleanings every six months.

While porcelain is highly stain-resistant, it’s still wise to limit coffee, red wine, and tobacco exposure. Avoid using your teeth as tools (opening packages, cracking nuts) and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth. With proper care, your veneers will maintain their beauty for many years.

Porcelain veneers are safe and reliable, but you may notice brief sensitivity or mild gum soreness after placement. These effects fade quickly as your mouth adjusts.
We follow American Dental Association (ADA) safety standards, and every smile is different, results can vary slightly from person to person.

You’re likely a good candidate if you have healthy teeth and gums but are unhappy with stains that won’t whiten, minor chips or gaps, slightly crooked teeth, or worn enamel.

Veneers work best for cosmetic concerns rather than major structural problems. You’ll need sufficient tooth enamel for bonding and should be committed to good oral hygiene. If you grind your teeth heavily, we may recommend a night guard to protect your investment.

Veneers are considered a permanent treatment because we remove a small amount of tooth enamel during preparation. However, they can be replaced if damaged or if you want an updated look after many years. Most patients are so happy with their results that reversibility isn’t a concern, but it’s important to understand this is a long-term commitment to maintaining your beautiful new smile.
