Porcelain Veneers
Laguna Niguel porcelain Veneers
handcrafted, custom-made, thin shells of dental porcelain
Porcelain veneers are handcrafted, custom-made, thin shells of dental porcelain placed on your front teeth. They are stain resistant and custom-tinted to blend with surrounding teeth. Veneers can dramatically transform your smile by correcting flaws like:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Gaps
- Misalignment
- Misshapenness
- Stains
How We Can Help
Your dentist will meet with you in a consultation to discuss your ideal smile and then create a custom design for your porcelain veneers. He or she will then secure temporary veneers to your teeth while a ceramist fabricates your one-of-a-kind restorations in our Laguna Niguel dental lab. Once the veneers are ready, you’ll return to our office so the dentist can remove your temporaries and place the final veneers.
