Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of your teeth — the secret behind many of the bright, even smiles you admire. They fix chips, gaps, worn edges and stubborn stains at once.

What veneers can correct
- Stains that whitening can’t lift
- Chips, cracks and worn-down edges
- Small gaps and slightly crooked teeth
- Uneven shape or size for a balanced smile
Custom-crafted to look natural
We design your veneers around your face — color, shape and proportions — so the result reads as your best natural smile, not an obvious set of “fake” teeth. The process takes a couple of visits, and we’ll often preview the look with you before anything is permanent.
Caring for your veneers
Porcelain resists stains beautifully, so veneers tend to stay bright. You care for them just like your other teeth — brushing, flossing and regular checkups. Pair them with whitening of your other teeth first so everything matches, and ask about financing for a full smile makeover.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What are porcelain veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their color, shape, length, or spacing. They are a popular way to correct chips, gaps, worn edges, and stubborn stains, creating a bright, even smile that still looks natural.
How much do veneers cost in Downey?
Cost depends on how many teeth you are treating and the material used. Because veneers are custom-crafted, we give you a precise quote after examining your smile and discussing your goals. Financing is available to spread the cost, and we honor current veneer specials when offered.
Do veneers ruin or damage your teeth?
Veneers require removing a very small amount of enamel so they sit flush and natural. This is a conservative, well-established procedure, but because that enamel does not grow back, veneers are considered permanent. We only recommend them when they are the right fit for your smile.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good care, porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years or more before needing replacement. Avoiding habits like biting your nails or chewing ice, wearing a night guard if you grind, and keeping up regular cleanings all help them last.
Do veneers stain or need special care?
Porcelain resists staining better than natural enamel, so veneers tend to stay bright. You care for them just like your other teeth — brushing, flossing, and routine checkups. Note that veneers do not change color with whitening, so we plan any whitening before placing them.
