Porcelain Veneers

Custom ceramic veneers that refine the shape, shade, and proportions of your smile, planned with you one step at a time.

About this service

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-shaded ceramic restorations bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They correct the appearance of stained, chipped, slightly misaligned, worn, or unevenly spaced teeth, giving you a natural-looking result. Every case is different. Some smiles come together in one round of veneers, while others are best served by whitening, orthodontic alignment, or other treatment first, and the number of visits depends on what your teeth need. At Jacqueline Younesi Dentistry, every veneer case begins with a smile design consultation where we review your goals, your bite, and the proposed shape and shade together, and we tell you what to expect before anything is started.

Porcelain Veneers is one of the cosmetic services we provide at our Corona Del Mar dental practice, close to home for patients in Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Balboa Island, Costa Mesa, and Irvine. Dr. Younesi takes the time to listen, evaluate, and explain every option before treatment begins. Learn more about Dr. Younesi or contact our office with any questions.

Veneers FAQs

Common questions about veneers.

Don’t see your question? Call us at (949) 409-9895 and we will get you a clear answer.

How long do porcelain veneers last?
Well-made porcelain veneers commonly last somewhere in the range of 10 to 15 years. Your own result depends on your bite, whether you clench or grind, and how consistently you keep up with cleanings and home care. Some last longer, and some need replacing sooner.
Do porcelain veneers ruin your teeth?
They do change them permanently, and you should know that before you start. Preparing a tooth for a veneer removes a thin layer of enamel, typically a few tenths of a millimeter from the front surface, and enamel does not grow back. That means a veneered tooth will always need a veneer or a crown on it. What we can promise is that we keep the reduction as conservative as your case allows, and that we will show you exactly how much your teeth require before you commit to anything.
How many veneers will I need?
Most "smile makeover" cases involve six to ten veneers covering the teeth visible when you smile. We tailor the count to your bite, lip line, and goals.
How many visits do veneers take?
It depends on your case, so we do not quote a timeline until we have examined you. Veneers are usually done over several appointments: a consultation, planning, preparation with temporaries, and the final bonding visit. Some patients need whitening, orthodontic alignment, or other treatment first, and small refinements after the final bonding are sometimes part of getting the result right. We walk you through the sequence for your smile before anything starts.
