Porcelain Veneers
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, durable shells made of high-quality ceramic material carefully shaped to fit over the front surface of each tooth. Veneers are ideal for correcting a variety of dental imperfections, including:
- Severely stained or discolored teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Small holes or pits
- Slight misalignment or misshapen teeth
- Unwanted spaces or gaps between teeth
Unlike crowns, which cover the entire tooth, veneers only cover the visible front portion, making them a less invasive but highly effective solution for enhancing your smile.
The Veneer Process at Point Loma Comprehensive Dental
Our personalized approach ensures that each veneer is designed to suit your unique smile. Here’s what to expect from the veneer process:
- Consultation and Smile Assessment: During your initial consultation, Dr. Mobasseri and Dr. De Rosier will discuss your goals, examine your teeth, and determine if veneers are the best solution for you.
- Preparation: Once you decide to proceed, a small amount of enamel may be removed to create space for the veneers.
- Impressions and Temporary Veneers: We’ll take impressions of your teeth to design custom veneers. Temporary veneers may be placed until your permanent ones are ready.
- Placement and Bonding: When your custom veneers are ready, Dr. Mobasseri and Dr. De Rosier will ensure a perfect fit and color match before permanently bonding them to your teeth.
Benefits of Choosing Porcelain Veneers
Patients who choose porcelain veneers enjoy several benefits, including:
- Natural Appearance: Porcelain mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, creating a seamless blend with your existing smile.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain is highly resistant to staining, helping you maintain a bright smile even if you enjoy coffee, tea, or wine.
- Durability: With proper care, veneers can last 10-15 years or longer.
- Minimal Tooth Reduction: In most cases, minimal tooth enamel needs to be removed, preserving more of your natural tooth structure compared to other restorations.

- Floss regularly to keep gums healthy around the veneers.
- Avoid biting down on hard objects like ice or pen caps to prevent chipping.
