Custom Porcelain

What Porcelain Veneers Can Change About Your Smile

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They can change the color, shape, size and length of the teeth that show when you smile, covering chips, cracks, stains, small gaps and minor misalignment.

At our Vista office, Dr. Coleman and Dr. Rice plan each case around what you want to change, and a dental ceramist handcrafts your veneers from fine porcelain that reflects light the way natural enamel does.

What Brings People In

When Veneers Are Worth Considering

A front tooth is chipped, cracked or worn down.
A stain hasn't budged, even after whitening.
There's a gap between your front teeth that you notice in photos.
Your teeth are uneven, oddly shaped or different lengths.
A few teeth sit slightly out of line, and braces aren't the route you want.

Your consultation is where we find out whether veneers are the right answer, or whether something simpler would do the job.

Choosing a Type

No-Prep Veneers Need Less Reshaping Than Traditional Veneers

At your consultation, we’ll tell you which approach fits your teeth and your bite.

Traditional Porcelain Veneers

A thin layer of enamel is removed from the front of each tooth to make room for the veneer.

No-Prep Veneers

Ultra-thin veneers that need little or no reshaping and address many of the same concerns. No-prep veneers are offered on a case-by-case basis, as not everyone is a candidate. Your bite is one of the main deciding factors.

If you're a candidate for no-prep veneers, your case can often qualify for a Trial Smile before any treatment. We mock up the new look directly on your teeth, with nothing removed and nothing bonded, so you can walk out of the office and try your new smile in real life for a few hours. After you've shown it to a few friends, it simply flicks off.

What to Expect

Veneers Usually Take a Consultation and Two Treatment Visits

The Consultation

We look at your teeth, your gums and your bite, talk through what you want to change, and recommend the approach that fits — traditional veneers, no-prep veneers, or something else. Smile imaging can give you an idea of what’s possible before you decide.

Preparation and Your Test Drive

At the first treatment visit, your teeth are prepared and digitally scanned, and impressions go to the dental lab. You leave wearing temporary veneers, so you can live with the new look before the final set is bonded.

Final Placement

Often one to two weeks later, the temporaries come off and your porcelain veneers are bonded in place and adjusted as needed. How long each visit takes depends on how many veneers you’re getting.

Dr. John Coleman and his staff are simple the Best. NO KA OI.

I could not be more pleased with Dr. Rice’s care of my long overdue dental treatment. I knew I could trust his recommendations from our first consultation. He did a wonderful job of attending to the work with patience for my fear, he and his staff have treated me to the most kindness and professionalism I could have ever asked for. My mouth is pain free for the first time in a couple of years and it has made a world of difference. I don’t think anyone should go anywhere else for their dental concerns. I am glad I was referred by a friend and would recommend Dr. Rice and his support staff at Coleman Dentistry very highly.

Payment and Financing

What Affects the Cost of Porcelain Veneers in Vista

Every veneer case is different, so the price is set at your consultation rather than on a website. These are the things that move it:

How many teeth you're treating.
Traditional or no-prep veneers, and the porcelain and lab process used to make them.
The color and texture your veneers need to match. If the teeth beside them call for more than one color or texture, the case is more involved.
Any treatment your teeth or gums need first.

At the end of your consultation, you’ll get a cost estimate for your treatment plan, and the team will go through payment options with you. Financing is available to qualified patients.

Bonding, Whitening and Invisalign

When Something Other Than Veneers is the Better Fit

Veneers aren’t right for every smile. Depending on what you want to change, one of these may get you there instead.

Cosmetic Bonding

Tooth-colored resin, sculpted by hand, that repairs chips, small gaps and worn edges in one short visit, without removing any tooth structure.

Teeth Whitening

Brightens your natural teeth when color is the only thing you'd change.

Invisalign

Clear, removable aligners that straighten your teeth and improve how they bite together.

Some patients combine more than one into a single plan, called a smile makeover.

Before You Decide

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers

Do porcelain veneers hurt?

Most patients report no pain at all. Preparing the teeth involves some reshaping, and you may notice some sensitivity afterward. If you’d like the area numbed, just ask — and if dental visits make you anxious, sedation is available.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

With good care, porcelain veneers can last ten years or more. How long yours last depends as much on care as on the porcelain: brush gently and floss every day, keep your regular checkups, and go easy on hard candy. If you grind or clench your teeth at night, we may recommend a night guard to protect them. Many veneer cases at our practice have been in service for 20+ years.

Can porcelain veneers be whitened?

No. Porcelain resists stains better than natural enamel, but whitening won’t change its color. If you’re thinking about whitening your other teeth, bring it up before your veneers are made.

Are veneers permanent?

Traditional veneers are. Because a thin layer of enamel is removed to make room for them, the change can’t be undone. No-prep veneers remove little or no enamel, and in some cases they can be removed later.

Am I a good candidate for veneers?

Veneers work best when your teeth and gums are in good to moderate health and you want to change how your front teeth look. Your bite matters too, especially for no-prep veneers. The exam at your consultation settles it.
