What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are premium, high-strength, thin shells of medical-grade ceramic designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are renowned for their exceptional durability, natural light-reflective qualities, and aesthetic versatility, allowing for beautiful smile transformations. Dr. Richard Haber DDS uses advanced techniques to create custom, long-lasting porcelain veneer restorations in Santa Monica.

Why choose porcelain veneers for my smile?

Porcelain veneers offer an ideal balance of strength and natural beauty. Because they are highly translucent and stain-resistant, they mimic the natural appearance of tooth enamel better than many other cosmetic options. Their precise fit and custom color matching make them a highly effective choice for correcting a wide variety of aesthetic concerns while preserving healthy tooth structure.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

With proper care—including daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups—porcelain veneers can last for many years. Their material is highly resistant to staining and wear, helping maintain your bright, uniform smile for a decade or more, depending on individual oral habits and maintenance.

Is the procedure for porcelain veneers painful?

The porcelain veneer procedure is generally very comfortable. Dr. Haber ensures patient comfort throughout the process, which typically involves minimal reshaping of the tooth surface. Local anesthesia is used to ensure the patient feels no discomfort during the preparation and bonding phases of the treatment.

Can porcelain veneers fix my smile issues?

Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution for a variety of cosmetic concerns, including chipped teeth, gaps (diastema), mild misalignment, stubborn discoloration that does not respond to whitening, and worn-down teeth. A consultation with Dr. Haber can determine if you are a candidate for this procedure.

Porcelain Veneers, Lumineers® & No-Prep Veneers

The greatest breakthrough in the history of dentistry

Porcelain veneers are usually the most expensive option, but the beautiful effect they can have on a person's smile makes them well worth the investment. Dr. Haber creates porcelain veneers specifically for your teeth that are custom tailored to your individual teeth color and shape.

Quality Craftsmanship & Artistic Excellence

Porcelain Veneers are not a 'one size fits all' product. A smile makeover is a big decision that is not to be taken lightly. A good porcelain veneer is a piece of art, hand sculpted by an artist to deliver everything you are looking for. A good porcelain veneer fits like a glove, enhancing the beauty of the tooth and becoming part of the tooth. Poor porcelain veneers are bulky, square, mass-produced pieces of porcelain that have given many patients smiles they are ashamed of.

The simple truth is that quality comes with experience and cost. Dr. Haber has the cosmetic background and experience to handle large porcelain veneer smile makeovers (one of the most difficult dental procedures), plus he works with talented and experienced laboratory technicians who fabricate these special porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers will require some reshaping of your original teeth, and the treatment generally involves multiple appointments, with the initial preparation being done by Dr. Haber and the making of the veneers taking place at our premium dental laboratory.
