Porcelain Veneers in Beverly Hills, CA
Porcelain veneers in Beverly Hills at ConfiDental are thin, custom-made shells that change the color, shape and length of your front teeth, designed so they look like your own teeth on their best day rather than a row of identical white caps. Dr. Liyan Massaband and Dr. Leila Moghaddam preview your new smile before any tooth is touched, remove as little enamel as possible, and give you a clear price per tooth before you decide.
A veneer placed well is one you never have to think about. People who see you every day rarely notice the porcelain itself. What they notice is that you smile more.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
They are thin ceramic shells, often about as thin as a contact lens, bonded to the front of your teeth. The American Dental Association explains that they can improve the color, shape and size of teeth, and that the traditional type usually needs a small amount of enamel removed first.
Porcelain reflects light much like natural enamel and resists staining, which is why good work looks lifelike and keep their color.
They can help with:
- Stains that whitening cannot lift, including old tetracycline or “grey” teeth
- Chipped, cracked or worn front teeth
- Small gaps
- Teeth that are slightly uneven, short or oddly shaped
- Old bonding that has stained or worn
- Tooth wear from grinding, once the grinding is controlled
They are not the answer for: badly crowded teeth (Invisalign first), teeth with large decay or broken cusps (a crown is stronger), or active gum disease (treated first).

Veneer type | Cost per tooth |
Traditional porcelain veneers | $1,500 to $2,500 |
No-prep or minimal-prep veneers | $1,200 to $2,000 |

Veneer replacement (removal and new veneer) | $1,500 to $2,500 |
Examples for traditional porcelain veneers:
Number of veneers | Typical total |
2 front teeth | About $3,000 to $5,000 |
4 teeth | About $6,000 to $10,000 |

Good to know:
- Insurance usually does not cover cosmetic veneers. If a tooth also has damage or decay, part of the treatment may be covered as a restoration.
- Planning 6 to 10 teeth together, often as part of a smile makeover, is usually more cost-effective than doing them one at a time.
- Monthly financing is available. See payment options and understanding dental insurance.
- When comparing quotes, check whether the price includes the smile preview, temporaries, try-in and follow-up.
How Many Veneers Do You Need?
It depends on how wide your smile is and what you want to change:
- 1 or 2 teeth: a single chipped or dark tooth. Matching one tooth to its neighbors takes the most skill, so we often whiten the other teeth first.
- 4 teeth: the central and side front teeth, for small shape or color changes.
- 6 to 8 teeth: the most common choice, covering every upper tooth that shows in a full smile.
- 10 or more teeth: for wide smiles, or when lower teeth are treated too.

Types of Veneers We Offer
MOST POPULAR
Traditional Porcelain Veneers
Custom-fabricated in a dental laboratory from high-quality feldspathic porcelain or pressed ceramic. Requires light enamel preparation. Offers the most precise control over shade, shape, and translucency. Lasts 10 to 20 years with proper care. The gold standard for comprehensive smile transformation.
MINIMAL PREP
No-Prep and Prepless Veneers
Designed for patients who want to preserve as much natural enamel as possible. Little to no tooth reduction is required before placement. Best suited for teeth that are naturally smaller, slightly set back, or have significant discoloration. Results are excellent for the right candidate, and the process is fully reversible in many cases.
ULTRA-THIN
NuVeneers
NuVeneers are an ultra-thin veneer option designed to be extremely conservative with tooth preparation. They work particularly well for patients seeking a brighter, more even smile without significant reshaping. Dr. Massaband evaluates whether NuVeneers are appropriate based on your existing tooth structure and alignment at your consultation.
HIGH STRENGTH
Ceramic and Zirconia Veneers
For patients who grind their teeth or need added durability, ceramic or zirconia-based veneers offer superior strength alongside excellent aesthetics. They are particularly well-suited for the back teeth when veneers are part of a full mouth restoration plan.
SINGLE VISIT
Composite Veneers and Bonding
While not porcelain, composite bonding placed directly to the tooth surface can achieve similar aesthetic results in a single appointment at a lower cost. It is reversible, does not require laboratory fabrication, and serves well for minor chips, gaps, or discoloration. See our tooth-colored fillings and bonding page for more detail.
SAME DAY
Same-Day Veneers
Using advanced chairside technology, same-day veneer options can be designed and placed in a single extended appointment. This approach suits patients with limited availability or those travelling from outside Beverly Hills who need treatment completed in fewer visits. Eligibility depends on the number of veneers and complexity of your case.
Not sure between porcelain and composite? Composite bonding uses the same tooth-colored material as our tooth-colored fillings, shaped for appearance. It costs less and can be adjusted, but it stains and chips more easily than porcelain.
Veneer Replacement in Beverly Hills
Porcelain lasts a long time, but not forever. Many patients come to us with work placed years ago, sometimes in another city or country.
Signs it may be time for new ones:
- One feels loose, has lifted at the edge or has come off
- Chips or cracks in the porcelain
- A dark line or stain where the veneer meets the tooth
- New sensitivity or decay under a veneer
- Your gums have receded, showing the edge
- They look too white, too bulky or out of date compared with your face today
What replacement involves:
- Check the teeth underneath with an exam and X-rays.
- Plan the new look, including shade and shape, with a smile preview.
- Remove the old ones carefully to protect the tooth.
- Wear temporaries while the new veneers are made, so you are never without a full smile.
- Bond the new ones and check your bite.
If one has come off: keep it, avoid chewing on that side and call us. Do not glue it back yourself. For a painful or broken tooth, see our emergency dentist page.
If receding gums are exposing the edges, gum grafting may be planned before or alongside replacement.
Are You a Good Candidate for Veneers?
You are likely a good candidate if:
- Your teeth and gums are healthy, or any gum disease and decay are treated first, checked during a dental exam
- You have enough enamel to bond to
- Your bite is stable; if teeth are crowded, Invisalign first can mean fewer or thinner shells
- Grinding is controlled with a night guard, because grinding is a common reason porcelain chips
- You want a lasting change and are comfortable that the traditional type involves removing a thin layer of enamel, which is permanent
If whitening alone would make you happy, we will tell you. Compare options on our teeth whitening and stained teeth treatment pages.
The Porcelain Veneer Process
1. Consultation and smile preview
We talk about what you want, check your teeth, gums and bite, and take photos and scans. A digital preview or a trial smile in your mouth shows the planned shape before any tooth is prepared. The ADA also recommends talking through all your options before choosing a cosmetic treatment.
2. Preparation
For the traditional type, about 0.3 to 0.7 mm of enamel is removed from the front of each tooth under local anesthetic. No-prep and ultra-thin options need little or none.
3. Scan and temporaries
A digital scan goes to the dental lab. Temporary veneers go on the same day, so you leave with a full smile and can “test drive” the shape.
4. Try-in
About one to two weeks later, the final shells are tried in before bonding. You see them in your own mouth and approve the shade and shape.
5. Bonding
Each one is bonded with a strong resin cement and hardened with a curing light. We check and adjust your bite.
6. Follow-up
A short visit one to two weeks later checks your bite and gums. Regular cleanings keep them and the teeth underneath healthy.
Porcelain Veneers vs Other Options
Treatment | Best for | Visits | Typical lifespan | Reversible? |
Porcelain veneers | Color, shape, size, gaps, chips | 2 to 3 | 10 to 20 years | No |
No-prep veneers | Small color and shape changes | 2 to 3 | 10 to 15 years | Often yes |
Composite bonding | Small chips, gaps, reshaping | 1 | 5 to 10 years | Yes |
Teeth whitening | Surface stains | 1 to 2 | 1 to 3 years | Yes |
Damaged or heavily filled teeth | 2 | 10 to 20 years | No | |
Invisalign | Crowding and spacing | Several months | Long term with a retainer | Yes |
Many of the best results combine treatments: whitening first to set the shade, Invisalign first so fewer teeth need covering, or crowns for damaged teeth next to veneers.
How to Make Your Veneers Last
- Brush twice a day with a soft brush and non-abrasive toothpaste
- Floss daily, especially where the veneer meets the gum
- Do not bite ice, hard candy or use your front teeth to open packets
- Wear your night guard if you grind
- Keep cleanings every six months so we can check the edges and bonding

Porcelain Veneers FAQs
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Beverly Hills?
Porcelain veneers in Beverly Hills typically cost between $1,500 and $2,500 per tooth depending on the material, the complexity of your case, and the number of teeth being treated. No-prep and NuVeneer options tend to fall at the lower end of this range. A full cost breakdown is provided at your consultation at Confidental Beverly Hills before any treatment begins.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Traditional porcelain veneers last 10 to 20 years with proper care. Patients who attend regular dental checkups, do not grind their teeth without a nightguard, and avoid high-risk habits often keep their veneers at the longer end of that range or beyond.
Do porcelain veneers hurt?
The veneer process is performed under local anesthetic and is not painful. Some patients experience mild sensitivity for a few days after preparation, which resolves on its own. The final bonding appointment is typically completely comfortable. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the entire process feels from start to finish.
What is the difference between no-prep veneers and traditional veneers?
Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed before placement so the veneer sits flush with surrounding teeth. No-prep veneers require little to no tooth reduction and are bonded directly over the existing tooth surface. They are reversible in many cases but are only appropriate for teeth that have sufficient space or significant discoloration to mask.
Can veneers be replaced?
Yes. Veneer replacement is a routine procedure at Confidental Beverly Hills. Existing veneers are carefully removed, the tooth surface is assessed and refreshed, and new custom veneers are fabricated and bonded. Temporary veneers are provided throughout the replacement process so your smile remains complete.
Who is a good candidate for porcelain veneers in Beverly Hills?
Adults with good overall oral health who want to improve the color, shape, size, or proportion of their front teeth are typically excellent candidates. Active gum disease or significant tooth decay must be treated first. Patients with severe bite misalignment may need Invisalign before veneers. A consultation determines your specific eligibility and the best approach for your situation.
Are NuVeneers available in Beverly Hills?
Yes. Dr. Massaband offers NuVeneers at Confidental Beverly Hills for suitable candidates. NuVeneers are an ultra-thin prepless veneer option that is particularly well suited for patients who want improved brightness and shape with minimal tooth preparation. Your consultation includes an assessment of whether NuVeneers are appropriate for your specific teeth.
