Natural-looking smile after porcelain veneers
Dental Veneers

A brighter,
more even smile.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells — bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their color, shape, and overall look. Dr. Bradley, a UCLA-trained dentist, combines careful planning with an eye for natural-looking results.

What are veneers?

Custom shells that reshape your smile.

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from tooth-colored materials. They cover the front surface of your teeth to enhance their color, shape, size, or length — a straightforward way to a more even, confident smile.

Why veneers

What veneers do for your smile.

Natural appearance

Each veneer is custom-designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, for a seamless, realistic look.

Stain resistant

Made from high-quality porcelain, veneers resist stains and help keep their bright appearance over time.

Minimally invasive

Compared with crowns, veneers need less tooth reduction — making the procedure gentler and more comfortable.

When veneers help

Reasons to consider veneers.

Gaps between teeth

Close spaces and gaps for a more even smile.

Minor crowding or misalignment

Correct small crowding or alignment issues without braces.

Uneven or misshapen teeth

Reshape teeth that look uneven or out of proportion.

Chipped or worn teeth

Repair chips and everyday wear on front teeth.

Staining or discoloration

Cover deep stains and discoloration that whitening can’t lift.

What to expect

From first visit to finished smile.

01

Consultation & planning

We assess your oral health with a detailed exam and 3D imaging, then plan your veneers with precision tailored to your smile.

02

Custom design

Dr. Bradley designs your veneers around your facial features, skin tone, and natural teeth for a harmonious, natural-looking result.

03

Tooth preparation

A small amount of enamel is gently removed to make room for your veneers, and temporary veneers protect your teeth while the final set is crafted.

04

Veneer application

Once your custom veneers are ready, we carefully bond them to your teeth for a smooth, finished result.

Common questions

Veneer questions, answered.

How much do veneers cost?

It depends on how many teeth you’re treating and whether you choose porcelain or composite, so we give you a clear number rather than a guess. Because veneers are a cosmetic treatment, coverage varies by plan — we accept most major insurance, offer monthly payment plans, and review every option with you at your appointment, with no surprises.

How many veneers will I need?

It depends on your smile and your goals. Some people veneer just one or two teeth to fix a chip or a gap, while a full “smile makeover” look usually covers the teeth that show when you smile — often six to eight on top, sometimes more. Dr. Bradley previews the result with you so you can decide before anything begins.

How long do veneers last?

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer, while composite veneers typically last 5 to 7 years. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular checkups keep them looking their best.

Do veneers hurt?

Getting veneers is a comfortable experience. During preparation, Dr. Bradley uses local anesthesia so you shouldn’t feel discomfort while a thin layer of enamel is gently shaped. Some patients notice mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days, which usually fades quickly.

Do veneers need special care?

Caring for veneers closely mirrors how you already care for natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up with regular cleanings. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens, and consider a night guard if you grind your teeth.

Are veneers permanent?

Because a small amount of enamel is usually removed to fit traditional porcelain veneers, the process is considered irreversible — your teeth will always need some form of covering afterward. The veneers themselves last many years before they need replacing.
