Enhance your smile with natural, long-lasting results. Our cosmetic veneers clinic in San Diego corrects imperfections such as chips, stains, worn edges, gaps between teeth, and uneven tooth shapes, while maintaining a completely natural look with a beautifully crafted design.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells that are securely bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. This cosmetic dental treatment is perfect for anyone looking for a fast, dramatic, and long-lasting smile makeover.
Veneers provide a natural, stain-resistant, and beautifully crafted result that goes far beyond covering surface discoloration.
Unlike teeth whitening, which only targets superficial stains, porcelain veneers offer a complete solution for reshaping teeth, correcting size, and eliminating deep, persistent discoloration. They are ideal for fixing chipped, stained, or uneven teeth, giving you a flawless smile that looks completely natural.

Porcelain Veneers vs. Composite
Porcelain Veneers
The Long-Term Investment
This method offers the closest resemblance to natural tooth enamel. When properly maintained, porcelain veneers provide exceptional durability and long-lasting beauty.
- Exceptional Longevity : With proper care, expect 10 to 15+ years of durability and brilliance.
- Stain-Resistant : Their non-porous surface means coffee, tea, and wine will not discolor them over time.
- Easy Maintenance : Due to higher vulnerability and potential staining from dark beverages, they require periodic polishing and professional maintenance.
Composite
A Quick and Affordable Alternative
A smart choice for a rapid smile transformation. Composite veneers allow you to achieve a brand-new look in just a single visit.
- Budget-Friendly : The upfront cost is significantly lower than that of porcelain veneers.
- Lifespan : On average, composite veneers last between 5 to 7 years.
- Reversible : This procedure typically requires little to no removal of your natural tooth enamel.
- Maintenance Note : Due to higher vulnerability and potential staining from dark beverages, they require periodic polishing and professional maintenance.
The pinnacle of smile beauty with Permanent Veneers
Permanent veneers are an ideal solution in cosmetic dentistry for anyone looking to achieve a beautiful, natural smile without making extensive changes to their natural teeth. This method involves minimal tooth preparation while providing durable, long-lasting, and high-quality results.
With permanent veneers, imperfections such as chips, stains, or uneven teeth can be effectively corrected while preserving the original tooth structure. This cosmetic dentistry treatment not only enhances the appearance and alignment of your teeth but also creates a natural, lasting smile that is virtually indistinguishable from your real teeth.
Pros and Cons of Veneer
Pros
- Natural Appearance: Custom-designed to match your facial features, these veneers blend flawlessly and are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
- Durable and long-lasting : High-quality porcelain offers excellent strength and stability.
- Color stability : Veneers resist staining and maintain their brightness over time.
- Immediate improvement : Refines tooth size, proportion, and contour with minimal preparation.
- Comfortable feel : Once bonded, veneers feel smooth and function like natural enamel.
Cons
- Irreversible preparation : A thin layer of enamel must be reshaped, making the procedure permanent.
- Not ideal for significant alignment issues : Some patients may need orthodontic treatment first.
- Potential wear : Teeth grinding or biting hard objects can reduce longevity.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
Porcelain veneers keep your smile flawless for at least 10 to 15 years and with proper care, even for several decades. These veneers are durable enough for your everyday meals and, unlike natural enamel, they are completely resistant to decay and discoloration.
With proper care, porcelain veneers offer a lasting, radiant smile. However, like natural teeth, they can chip under extreme pressure. Over time, weakened bonding or micro-cracks may necessitate replacement. At that stage, we evaluate the underlying tooth and apply fresh veneers to restore your perfect smile.

Our Portfolio Speaks for Itself
Benefits of Cosmetic Veneers
The primary advantages of cosmetic veneers include the immediate correction of severe discoloration, closing gaps, repairing chips, and creating perfect smile symmetry. Due to their high durability, stain resistance, and lifelike appearance, veneers allow patients to achieve their ideal smile design in the shortest time possible while significantly restoring their self-confidence. Here is a closer look at the specific benefits of this technique:
- Comprehensive Correction of Dental Imperfections: One of the greatest strengths of dental veneers is their ability to address multiple issues simultaneously. If your teeth suffer from a combination of wear, yellowing, and minor misalignment, you don’t need a series of different treatments; veneers provide a comprehensive solution in a single, streamlined process.
- A Seamlessly Natural and Translucent Appearance: Modern porcelain veneer technology has advanced to the point where the material mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel perfectly. This level of craftsmanship ensures that even under direct lighting, your veneers remain indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
- Superior Stain Resistance: Unlike natural teeth, which can quickly become dull or stained from coffee, tea, and tobacco, porcelain veneers are highly resistant to discoloration. This allows you to maintain a bright, radiant smile for many years to come with minimal effort.
Caring for Your Dental Veneers
Proper care is essential to preserve the appearance and extend the lifespan of your cosmetic veneers. While porcelain (laminate) and composite veneers are designed for high strength and durability, your daily habits play a vital role in maintaining their health and quality.
- Daily Hygiene: Patients are advised to brush at least twice a day using a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Gently flossing once a day helps protect the gum line and prevents plaque buildup around the veneers. Consistent oral hygiene not only protects your veneers but also ensures the overall health of your teeth.
- Behavioral Adjustments: Avoiding habits such as biting hard objects, chewing ice, or using your teeth as tools (e.g., to open packaging) is strongly recommended. Although porcelain veneers are highly resilient, excessive and sudden pressure can lead to chipping or damage over time.
- Dietary Choices: Limiting the consumption of foods and beverages that cause staining—such as coffee, red wine, and soda—helps maintain the radiance of your smile. This is particularly important for individuals with composite veneers, which are more porous than porcelain.
- Routine Checkups: Regular dental visits are equally important. Periodic examinations and professional cleanings allow your dentist to monitor the condition of the veneers and address any potential issues in their early stages.
How to prepare teeth for veneers
Modern cosmetic dentistry has revolutionized the veneer application process, making it more conservative and comfortable than ever before. At Soft Touch Dental, our treatment planning prioritizes the maximum preservation of your natural tooth structure.
In many cases, only a minimal amount of enamel is gently reshaped to ensure a secure and natural fit. The advanced materials used in modern veneers allow for ultra-thin designs that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, significantly reducing the need for extensive preparation. This approach helps maintain the tooth’s structural integrity while delivering stunning aesthetic results.
For suitable candidates, minimal-prep or low-prep veneers can greatly reduce tooth sensitivity and shorten recovery time. Patients often appreciate that these techniques prioritize long-term oral health alongside a dramatic improvement in their appearance.
Because every patient’s smile is unique, a detailed evaluation is essential. During your consultation, we will assess your bite (how your teeth meet), enamel thickness, and aesthetic goals to determine the most conservative and effective option for you.

Frequently Asked
Question
How long does the veneer process take?
At Soft Touch Dental, the entire process is completed in just one day, from your initial consultation and digital design to the final placement of your permanent veneers.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last for 10-15 years or even longer. They are a durable, long-term solution.
What is the difference between a veneer and a dental crown?
A veneer is a thin shell that only covers the front surface of the tooth, used mainly for cosmetic purposes. A dental crown completely covers the entire tooth and is used to restore both strength and aesthetics.
How do I care for my veneers?
Caring for your veneers is easy. You should brush and floss just as you would with your natural teeth and continue to schedule regular checkups and cleanings.
Are veneers reversible?
No. Because a small amount of enamel is removed during the preparation process, the procedure is considered permanent.
