With dental veneers, you can experience a new level of confidence with a brilliant smile in a fraction of the time at our office in Riverside County. 

What Are Porcelain Veneers? 

Porcelain veneers are thin sheets of ceramic glass that are expertly molded to fit each individual tooth and fix any cosmetic imperfections in your smile. Each veneer can be customized by size, shape, texture and color to enhance your unique smile, making them one of the most versatile types of treatment available. The most common reasons patients choose veneers is to hide cracks, gaps, chips, stains, and misaligned teeth. 

Why porcelain? We recommend porcelain because it is very strong and is designed to withstand the natural forces of biting and chewing. Second, porcelain blends in seamlessly with your other teeth resulting in a natural look. When done properly, it’s nearly impossible to tell which tooth is a veneer and which one is not!

What Is The Process of Dental Veneers? 

The first step in placing porcelain veneers is a private consultation with Dr. Chou in her office here in Lake Elsinore, CA. This provides the opportunity to properly evaluate the current condition of your teeth and determine if porcelain veneers will be a good fit for you. During your visit, you will get to see a digital mockup of your new smile so that you can get a better idea of the final result after treatment, allowing you to make a more informed decision on treatment moving forward. You will also have the chance to ask any questions you have about the process, the timeline, or the cost. 

If you decide to continue with treatment, the next step is to create a digital impression of your teeth and send it to our master cosmetic ceramist, who carefully crafts each veneer according to the details and specifications sent from our office. In the meantime, temporary veneers will be placed on your teeth to provide protection while your custom veneers are being created. 

Your second appointment is where the magic happens. This is where the personalized veneers will be bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Any fine-tuning and refinements will be performed after placement to make absolutely sure that your new veneers look and feel amazing. 

After two appointments, you will leave with a brilliant new smile that will sparkle for years to come with regular maintenance! 

Why Choose Prestige Dental Spa for Veneers? 

Our Lake Elsinore team, led by Dr. Katy Chou, has placed hundreds of dental veneers with outstanding long-term success. We use advanced tools, technology, and detailed planning software to ensure precision and comfort.

Are Veneers Right For Me? 

It’s important to note that not all people are good candidates for porcelain veneers. A good candidate will have relatively healthy teeth and gums because we need a good foundation to build on otherwise the veneers won’t last as long. Veneers help restore the tooth, not replace it. Thus, it’s important to have a solid structure on which to place veneers. 

Porcelain veneers are ideal for those dealing with gaps, cracks, or discoloration in their teeth, and they want to resolve those issues with a non-invasive approach. Because veneers do not require major dental work, you can achieve fantastic results in an average of two appointments. 

What Issues Can Veneers Correct? 

There are two primary types of issues that porcelain veneers correct: physical and cosmetic. Physical issues may include:

• Unsightly gaps between teeth
• Worn out or weak teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Cracks
• Misalignments
• Abnormally shaped teeth

Cosmetic issues may include: 

• Stained or discolored teeth
• Disproportionate gums (ie. gummy smile)
• Decayed enamel

Veneers provide the chance to get rid of multiple problems at once without years of treatment or uncomfortable orthodontic work.

What is the Cost of Veneers?

There are a number of factors that affect the price of porcelain veneers, including the number of teeth that need to be corrected and the complexity of the treatment. In general, each veneer can cost around $1500 to $2,000, which includes everything from the initial consultation, smile design, digital impressions, temporaries, and custom-crafted veneer. To make sure that you know the total investment, we always discuss all the costs before starting any treatment. In addition, we offer financing options to create a payment plan that works for you. 

How Long Do Veneers Last? 

Our goal is to help your brand new veneers to last as long as possible. That’s why we use the highest quality materials and craftsmanship, enabling your porcelain veneers to last 15 years, 20 years or longer. The best way to extend the life and look of your veneers is through proper care and regular maintenance. Maintaining your 6-month check ups and proper oral hygiene will help you preserve your veneers for many years to come!

Reviews From Patients

“I’ve been going here for a couple years now. Dr. Chou is the best! She did veneers on my front teeth from canine to canine and they look amazing!” – Lance B.

“Our entire family comes here! We love Dr. Chou and both the girls up front and all the girls in the back listen to you and have compassion for you, which is what my previous dental office lacked. We can’t imagine going anywhere else!” – Chase R.

“I’ve been going here for years and will continue to do so! The office is so great and makes sure to take care of you. I appreciate them all being so patient and kind with me. No one loves going to the dentist but thank you to the doctor and staff for making it manageable when I do have to go.” – Alyssa Z.

What Are The Pros And Cons of Porcelain Veneers?

What makes porcelain veneers such a popular choice for cosmetic dentistry (especially here in Riverside County) is because of the many unique benefits that come with treatment. Here are several examples…

• Addresses a wide variety of cosmetic issues: stains, discoloration, gaps, misalignment, cracks, chips, gummy smiles, and enamel erosion
• Seamless, natural-looking results due to the unique characteristics of porcelain and the customization of each veneer (size, shape, color, and texture)
• Quick treatment process that only takes an average of 2 appointments. This means that you can completely transform your smile in a matter of weeks
• Minimally invasive procedure where only a small amount of the tooth is shaped to make room for the veneers
• Strength and durability thanks to the unique construction of porcelain veneers
• Confidence to show off your new smile in public

• Veneers are permanent. To securely place veneers there is a thin layer of enamel that must be removed to make room for the veneer. This process is irreversible so if you are simply looking for a temporary solution, veneers might not be the best solution
• Veneers are not indestructible and can still be damaged. Therefore we recommend that you avoid biting down on hard food (eg. ice cubes) or using your teeth as a bottle opener (please don’t!) to avoid the possibility of damaging your veneers. For those that experience teeth grinding or bruxism, you will need to use a mouth guard for protection after receiving veneers
