Veneers
Do you dream of having a celebrity-quality smile? This is Los Angeles, city of the stars, where sparkling, perfect smiles appear to be everywhere. The treatment most often used to achieve these smiles: porcelain veneers.
A beautiful smile can boost your confidence and allow you to project the best possible version of you. At Dr. Bruce and Kristi Crispin’s dental office, located in Tarzana and serving surrounding cities like Encino, Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, and Calabasas, we specialize in creating natural-looking veneers that maintain the health and integrity of your teeth while supercharging your self-esteem.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or composite material that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are designed to both enhance and blend in with your natural smile. Porcelain veneers are especially popular because they are highly stain-resistant and reflect light in a way that mimics natural enamel, giving you a seamless result.
The veneer procedure begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Bruce or Dr. Kristi Crispin to assess the patient’s oral health and esthetic goals. Once treatment is indicated, a minimal amount of enamel is conservatively reduced to accommodate the veneer and ensure proper integration with the natural dentition. Each veneer is then custom-fabricated and precisely bonded to achieve optimal fit, function, and esthetics. With appropriate oral hygiene and regular professional care, veneers can provide long-lasting results.

What Dental Issues Can Veneers Address?
Veneers aren’t just about creating a beautiful appearance. They’re a versatile treatment option that can correct a wide range of dental issues, including:
- Discoloration: Stubborn stains that do not respond to whitening treatments can be effectively covered with veneers.
- Chipped or broken teeth: Veneers restore the natural appearance of teeth that have been cracked or damaged.
- Gaps between teeth: Small spaces between teeth can be closed with veneers.
- Misalignment or irregularly shaped teeth: Veneers can create the appearance of straighter, more balanced teeth.
- Worn enamel: Teeth that appear worn down over time can be rejuvenated with veneers.
By addressing multiple cosmetic concerns at once, veneers give you real bang for your buck.

How long do porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 5–15 years or longer with proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. Their longevity depends on habits like teeth grinding, biting hard objects, and overall dental care.
Are porcelain veneers worth it?
Porcelain veneers are often worth it for patients seeking a long-term, natural-looking solution for cosmetic concerns like discoloration, chips, or uneven teeth. They offer durable results and can significantly enhance your confidence in your smile.
What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain veneers?
These terms generally mean the same thing, since porcelain is a type of ceramic. The term “ceramic” is broader, and can refer to newer types of ceramics like zirconia, while porcelain refers to the most commonly used and trusted material in cosmetic dentistry.
Can old veneers be replaced?
Yes, old or worn veneers can be safely removed and replaced with new ones. Dentists often update veneers to improve fit, color, or overall aesthetics as dental technology advances.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes, modern veneers are designed to closely mimic the color, shape, and light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. When properly crafted, they blend seamlessly with your smile.
How many veneers do I need for a smile makeover?
The number of veneers needed depends on your smile goals and which teeth are visible when you smile, often ranging from 4 to 10 veneers. Your dentist will recommend a personalized plan based on symmetry and aesthetics.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth without braces?
Veneers can visually correct mild misalignment or uneven spacing without braces. However, more severe orthodontic issues may still require traditional orthodontic treatment.
What happens if a veneer breaks?
If a veneer chips or breaks, it usually needs to be replaced rather than repaired. Your dentist will assess the damage and recommend the best solution to restore appearance and function.
How do dentists match veneer color?
Dentists match veneer color using shade guides and digital imaging to complement the color of your natural teeth. The goal is a balanced, seamless-looking result rather than an overly white appearance.
Are veneers reversible?
Veneers are generally not considered reversible because a small amount of enamel is typically removed during preparation. However, this ensures a proper fit and long-lasting results.
