Custom Veneers in Brentwood & Los Angeles CA

At Brentwood Dental Center, we offer both composite and porcelain veneers to our patients seeking to improve the aesthetics of their smile while staying within their budget. Veneers are incredibly versatile, able to correct a variety of imperfections, including:

• Minor chips and cracks in the teeth
• Discoloration
• Minor misalignments
• Overlapping teeth
• Gaps between the teeth
• Worn-down teeth
• Pitted teeth

Veneers are ultra-thin shells made of tooth-colored materials that cover the front surface of your teeth to enhance their appearance. We design and fabricate your veneers to fit your teeth and look natural while addressing the targeted imperfections.

Composite Veneers: If you are looking for a budget-friendly solution, composite veneers are an affordable option that can often be completed in one visit with minimal enamel removal, but they do not last as long as porcelain veneers.

Porcelain Veneers: These are the highest standard of dental veneers. Although they cost a bit more, they last longer than other options and are highly resistant to stains. The translucent quality of the porcelain also makes it the closest match to natural tooth enamel. Porcelain veneers are your best choice if you have more significant issues to correct and are looking for a long-term solution.

Benefits of Veneers

• Veneers correct a wide range of imperfections
• They are minimally invasive
• Veneers can last 10-15 years with proper care
• They are durable, able to withstand daily bite force
• Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant
• Veneers look natural and boost your confidence

Our Veneers Process

The veneer procedure is minimally invasive, typically requiring only slight tooth reshaping to preserve most of your natural tooth structure (about 90%). This approach helps maintain your teeth’s strength while providing a natural-looking, durable result. 

Composite Veneers

Dr. Goto applies composite veneers by hand in the office. He lightly etches the surface of the teeth so that the resin will bond to them better. Then, he applies thin layers of pliable, composite resin material to each tooth, carefully sculpting it into the desired shape and thickness to achieve a natural look. The composite material is then cured with a special light, and the veneers are polished to a natural sheen.

Porcelain Veneers

Dr. Goto collaborates with skilled dental technicians to craft custom porcelain veneers tailored to your unique smile, striving for precision and a natural appearance. The process begins with a thorough consultation, where Dr. Goto listens to your goals and preferences. He gently prepares your teeth, takes accurate impressions (often using digital scanning), and oversees the crafting of your veneers. The veneers are carefully bonded to fit comfortably and blend naturally with your teeth, enhancing both function and appearance. Whether you choose porcelain for a long-term solution or composite for a cosmetic update, Dr. Goto and our team are dedicated to helping you achieve a brighter smile that supports confidence.

Veneers FAQs

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years with good oral hygiene and proper care. Composite veneers typically last 5 to 7 years.

What are veneers made of?

We offer both composite resin veneers (the same material used for tooth-colored fillings) and porcelain veneers.

Does insurance pay for veneers?

Veneers are considered a cosmetic dental procedure and are not typically covered by insurance. If veneers are deemed medically necessary due to an accident or facial trauma, your insurance may cover some of the associated costs. Please check with your provider to learn more.

Is there a recovery time for veneers?

You may feel some mild discomfort and sensitivity for the first few days following veneer placement. It may also take some time to adjust to the new feel of your teeth, which can slightly alter your bite and speech. Within two weeks, most patients are completely comfortable with their veneers and are enjoying their beautiful new smiles.
