Porcelain Veneers in Woodland Hills for a Beautiful Smile

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that bond to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are used to change color, shape, length, or alignment of teeth that show when you smile. Veneers can address discoloration that does not respond to whitening, worn or chipped edges, small gaps, and certain mild alignment issues.

Who may benefit from veneers

Veneers may be appropriate if you:

Have healthy teeth and gums but are unhappy with the appearance of your smile
Have intrinsic stains (for example, from certain medications) that do not respond well to bleaching
Have minor crowding, small gaps, or uneven edges
Want a long-term solution with strong, stain-resistant material

Before proceeding, we ensure that any decay, gum disease, or bite issues are addressed, because veneers should be placed on a stable foundation.

Veneer process at House Of Smiles

Consultation and planning: We discuss your goals, evaluate your bite, and may take photos, x-rays, or digital scans.
Smile design: We talk about tooth length, shape, and color and may use mock-ups or digital previews when appropriate.
Tooth preparation: A thin layer of enamel is carefully reduced to make room for the veneer. We aim to be as conservative as possible.
Impressions or scans: These are sent to a dental lab where your veneers are fabricated.
Temporary veneers: Provisional veneers may be placed while the final ones are made, allowing you to “test drive” your new look.
Bonding: At the final visit, we check the fit and color, make adjustments if needed, and then bond the veneers using a strong dental adhesive.

With proper care—daily brushing and flossing, wearing a nightguard if you grind, and regular professional cleanings—veneers can last many years. They do not respond to whitening products, so we often whiten the surrounding teeth first, then match veneer shade to the brighter color.
