Dental veneers in West Hills Los Angeles, CA can make your dream smile a reality
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile, you are not alone. Despite what magazine covers and movies portray, natural teeth are rarely perfect. Thankfully, modern cosmetic dentistry offers a wide variety of options to transform your smile. One of the most conservative and versatile cosmetic procedures is dental veneers, which are available right here at Royal Dental Practice in West Hills Los Angeles, CA.
What are veneers?
A dental veneer is a very thin layer of porcelain or composite material, which is bonded to the visible tooth surface. Since the underlying tooth is hidden beneath the veneer, it can correct nearly any imaginable cosmetic concern. However, because veneers are so thin, the procedure requires little if any alteration to the tooth structure.
Dental veneers may be used to:
- Change the color of naturally dark teeth
- Cover stains or dark inclusions that do not respond to whitening
- Improve the size or shape of teeth
- Create uniformity and symmetry in an uneven smile
- Close gaps between widely spaced teeth
- Improve the appearance of teeth that are slightly crooked or rotated
- Help you feel great about your smile
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain is a naturally white ceramic material, which is colored to match your teeth. The veneers are created by a dental laboratory, which can take a couple of weeks. It will take at least two visits to complete the procedure. The first appointment is for tooth preparation and impressions. When your new veneers are ready, you will return for a second appointment to have them placed.
Porcelain is extremely hard, durable, and wear resistant. You can expect porcelain veneers to look just as good years later as they do the day that they are placed. On average, porcelain veneers are expected to last at least ten years, though they can last much longer with good oral health.
Transform Your Smile, Boost Your Self-Esteem with Veneers!
Dental veneers are custom-made porcelain or composite Resin shells bonded to natural teeth to conceal imperfections like stains, chips, gaps, or misalignments. Royal Dental Practice offers high-quality veneers, customized to match natural teeth color, shape, and size, providing a natural and long-lasting cosmetic solution. Veneers are a versatile and aesthetically pleasing solution for addressing dental issues like staged teeth, chipped teeth gaps, and minor alignment problems. They can also improve worn or uneven teeth appearance. Royal Dental Practice designs veneers to meet patients’ specific needs, achieving a natural, beautiful look. Royal Dental Practice ensures the longevity of dental veneers by using high-quality materials and maintaining good oral hygiene. Regular checkups and avoidance of hard objects are crucial for extending their lifespan, resulting in a stunning smile for years to come. Veneers are a long-lasting solution for teeth restoration, but they are not technically permanent. They require removing a small amount of enamel for bonding, which is irreversible. Despite this, with proper care and maintenance, veneers can last for years before replacement. Dental veneers at Royal Dental Practice improve smile appearance by correcting issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignments. They provide a natural looking stain resistant surface mimicking natural teeth light reflecting properties. They are highly customizable, allowing precise color matching and shaping, providing a durable, aesthetically pleasing solution.
Composite veneers
Composite veneers are made from tooth-colored resin, the same material that is used in cosmetic fillings and dental bonding. There are two options. For direct composite veneers, the resin is applied to your teeth and then hardened. Indirect composite veneers are made in a dental laboratory and then adhered to your teeth.
Direct composites only require one appointment, making them more convenient than porcelain. Both types of composites are more economical than porcelain, making this a good option for individuals on a tight budget. On average, composite veneers are expected to last at least five years, often longer.

Porcelain veneers for enhanced smiles and improved confidence
Welcome to Royal Dental Practice. I’m Dr. Roya Shoffet from West Hills. Today I like to highlight the transformation power of cosmetic dentistry that gives you confidence and enhances your smile. Let’s share these highlights. On this particular slide, you can see patient presented with thin enamel on the back palatal surfaces of the teeth, and on this one, she had actually chipped the front tooth. These are the Before and these are the slides After. The patient was thrilled with the result.
I like to share, once the patient presented with a broken veneer and the veneers are, you know, a cemented or thin – contact lens-thin – porcelain structures that we bond to the tooth and unfortunately on this particular patient; patient broke the veneer and we had to actually fix it and repair it. And she’s ready to come back later on for her final and permanent veneer replacement.
