Veneers can be made from porcelain or resin composite materials.

No. Veneers will not hurt your teeth. The materials used to bond veneers to your teeth do not contain toxic chemicals, so they will not damage your teeth in any way.

Veneers can start to fade over time, but you won’t be able to brighten them using whitening strips or treatments. However, your dentist can polish the veneers to remove any stains and discolorations so you can keep a beautiful, brilliant smile.

Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, so drinking coffee and tea is perfectly okay. However, with other types, such as composite resin veneers, coffee, and other foods and drinks, that stain should be avoided.

Most of our North Hollywood dental veneer patients request to have several veneers placed over their top front teeth, as those are the ones that are most noticeable when they smile. Depending on your bite, this is usually between 6-10 veneers in total.

Lumineers are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain veneers that require minimal to no tooth reduction, unlike traditional veneers. This preserves your natural teeth while providing a beautiful and natural-looking smile.

The cost of veneers varies depending on the type of veneer you’re getting and how many veneers you need. For example, veneers range from a few hundred dollars to over $2,000 per tooth, depending on the materials and lab fees. The more veneers you need, the lower the cost typically is per tooth. Most porcelain veneer treatments average between $925-$2,500 per tooth.

Porcelain veneers are an excellent investment when you want to improve your smile and self-esteem. The priceless benefits that they offer are hard to measure. At 1st Choice Dental, we offer flexible financing options on all our North Hollywood, CA dental veneer treatments, making them accessible for a wide range of budgets.

You should care for your veneers the same way you care for your natural teeth. Brush and floss regularly and avoid biting into hard objects that could damage them.

Non-prep veneers, also known as minimal-prep or prepless veneers, are a type of dental veneer that requires little to no preparation of your natural teeth before placement. This is a major difference from traditional veneers, which often require grinding down the tooth enamel to make space for the veneer.

Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment that can help you achieve a Hollywood smile by masking imperfections like stains, chips, and gaps. These thin shells, custom-made from porcelain or composite resin, are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to create a bright, white, and perfectly aligned smile. The process involves a consultation, preparation of the teeth, taking impressions, and finally bonding the veneers for a long-lasting transformation. While veneers require good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups to maintain, they offer a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile, boosting your confidence and giving you a red-carpet-ready look.
